Doctor Who Series Seven Update

Hello. Doctor Who Series Seven is supposed to broadcast in 2011... but will it? Danny Cohen, the BBC1 Controller, announced the news to the audience at the 2011 Church and Media Conference. One of the attendees at the conference tweeted:

"Danny Cohen says there won't be a full series of Doctor Who in 2012, but a special run for the anniversary in 2013."

Then, later that day, Lizo Mzimba, a news reporter, tweeted:

"Bit of confusion, to summarise: no FULL 13 episode series of Dr Who in 2012. So some episodes will still go out in 2012. Remainder in 2013."

But before you make any assumptions, this does not clear up everything. Some questions still need to be answered: with some of the episodes in 2012 and some in 2013, will the Christmas Special be shown in the middle of the series? And will Episode Specials (like the ones in 2009) be broadcast up until Series Seven starts?

Also, Steven Moffat tweeted this about the subject of Series Seven:

"Misquotes and misunderstandings. But I'm not being bounced into announcing the cool stuff until we're ready. Hush, and patience."

Following on from this, Doctor Who Magazine said this about the matter:

"Doctor Who's future is safe and secure. And there is 'cool stuff' on the way, according to Steven Moffat. We can definitely vouch for that."

Finally, Sam Hodges from the BBC tweeted:

"Situation stays the same - 14 episodes commisioned, starting in 2012. How they will play out will be revealed at a later date."

John Fay for Series Seven

Hello. In the last post, Series Seven was confirmed by the showrunner Steven Moffat. Today, John Fay is confirmed to write for Series Seven. Fay has written for Torchwood: Children of Earth and he is writing a few episodes of Miracle Day. In Children of Earth, Fay killed off one of the main characters Ianto Jones. Will he do something similar in Series Seven? We'll just have to wait a year to find out.

Series Seven and Matt Smith Confirmed

Hello. Steven Moffat, the head writer and executive producer of Doctor Who has announced that Matt Smith will appear in Series Seven and that the series will have 14 episodes. Will this enable a two-parter-finale? I hope so. You can look at the whole comment below:

"14 eps + Matt DEFINITELY. I've got a plan and I'm NOT TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS. Now hush or River shoots you with her Spoiler Gun."

At least Matt Smith will be back but will Amy and Rory return for another series? Only time will tell.
