Even if Russell called it quits, the Beeb would more likely find someone else to helm it, because it is currently their most successful, award-winning, and popular show (excluding perennials like EastEnders and Coronation Street). It consistently gets high audience approval ratings, even in reruns, and it's been lucrative in sales in other markets (which isn't supposed to matter, but does).
What I *can* believe is that Russell may step back from writing so many episodes now that he's established things -- he's been pulling back a bit from that over the last two seasons anyway.
