Blurb from the Beeb:

There will be a double dose of Doctor Who for the timelord's fans next year.

Two separate series of his adventures will be shown with the show's producer Steven Moffat promising an "earth-shattering" cliffhanger half way through.

Seven episodes will be shown in Easter followed by six episodes in Autumn.

Mr Moffat said the doctor, played by Matt Smith, and his sidekick Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan, will face a "game-changing" moment in the new series.

He said: "An episode of Dr Who that's not scary is failing the children of this nation."

Great, in these difficult economic times this must be the new form of tightening our belts, him lets see, why not cut up one standard series into two halves and pretend to our audience that we are getting two series for our money, oh yeah, that's a fantastic and novel idea mr producer :rolleyes:


So, based on the quality of the previous series will the six easter episodes be rubbish, or will it be the six autumn ones

And here's the quote from Moffat that should have been there:
"An episode of Dr Who that's just plain naff and is not cleverly entertaining is failing the adults of this nation."


'Mr Moffat, we are not amused', as Queen Vic once said...

What's he doing?! Moffat has clearly lost the plot as well as the ideology behind the series. At this rate I won't be tuning back in - it might as well be a different show.

This 'split' is obviously due to the fact that viewing figures significantly dropped during June/July. Why not move the whole series to the Autumn? That's it's traditional slot.

Speaking of Doctor Who, I've been on a trip down memory lane recently, and written up a 19-page "memoir" of growing up with the show in the 80s, 90s and beyond.

It's quite a personal thing and talks about the effect the show had on me as a kid, collecting merchandise and things such as visiting exhibitions and conventions etc, rather than a critique of the show itself, although my opinion is, in places, clearly stated! And it's fully illustrated with my own photos!

So if anybody fancy a read, drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send it on

Marvelous!!!!

The curse of Doctor Who continues?

I wonder how long its going to be before media release's about David Tennant stop referring to him as ex-Doctor Who star...

A good few decades, if at all!

I think you're right Alex.

Mr Foxx is still ex-Ultravox frontman 32 years later...

I heard him on the radio the other morning and he said he real surname is McDonald .. perhaps he should go back to it to shrug off the Doctor Who tag..

He said he got Tennant off Neil Tennant via Smash Hits / PSB .. don't know if that's true..
