Koete Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 The question is, how long did Mike search to see if Moffat posted about the War Chief and Master being the same person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Series 7 (and Matt Smith) confirmed (there had been some rumours that they were having another gap year with only 4 specials, so it seems these are all in reply to that rumour) - from the BBC1 Head of Commissioning - #DoctorWho is returning. Fourteen new episodes have been commissioned with Matt Smith as The Doctor #bbc1— Sam Hodges (@SamHodges) June 7, 2011 #DoctorWho is returning. Fourteen new episodes have been commissioned with Matt Smith as The Doctor #bbc1 And from Steven Moffat - http://twitter.com/steven_moffat/status/78139808827981824 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.#formaqueue http://twitter.com/steven_moffat/status/78158618062618625 @Arch6000 13 plus Xmas is what I mean. Keeping it brief, that's all.

jakob1978 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Excellent. That was the rumor, but it's nice to have it confirmed. Doctor Who Magazine's twitter suggests that it's the 2011 Xmas special, plus next series that's been commissioned (that's usually the way they do it, filming the Xmas special as part of the following years series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Now Matt Smith has a tough decision: Stay for Series 8 (Assuming they don't do a year of specials again) and ensure that fans forever remember him for being The Doctor during the 50th anniversary or leave only to probably be asked back for participation during the anniversary and be faced with coming back to the role too soon.

Koete Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was thinking about the anniversary year this morning. What if they did a year of specials for the anniversary year, with each special being a part of the anniversary story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 If they did a series of specials for the 50th year, I would love to see each one starring various living (and willing) Doctors. Davison's already been back and Eccleston won't return, so that leaves both Bakers, McCoy, McGann, and Tennant. Five Doctors spread out over five specials -- Christmas 2012, New Year's Day, Easter, mid-summer, and Thanksgiving -- could work. Best of all, Thanksgiving 2013 is only five days after the 50th anniversary. They should bring back old companions, too. I doubt they'll do this, but a fanboy can dream.

Stavros Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I get that certain performers want to distance themselves from it all, and they don't want to overshadow newer ones either. That being said, I think Matt Smith can hold his own with Tennant, and that would be a MONSTER Christmas special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 They should bring back old companions, too. Many of the actors are still involved with Who through the Big Finish audio dramas, so I see that as a very real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard Colin Baker was in an 'over my dead body' frame of mind over doing anything Doctor related for the BBC. I know he's doing the Big Finish stuff, but that's not Auntie Beeb. Course, he might have softened a bit by now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Do you hear that? That's the sound of a hundred thousand fanfic writers... um... finishing. I did pop into a couple of DW fic sites after Saturday. The River/Amy one is very very quiet and the one dedicated to general DW slash had a discussion thread, includng some writers who'd written Amy/River and who were feeling a little icky. But since when has two characters having a direct family relationship ever stopped Slashfic writers for long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Moffat responds to a query about the scheduling of Series 7. There's a lot of discussion about whether part of the reason for this years split series is to prepare for the show being on in the Autumn next year (especially given the Olympics in London are on in the first part of the year which will cause havoc with the BBC's schedules), but obviously it's all just wild speculation at this point. I'd be almost certain that there's no firm plans for when it will be shown at all yet. http://www.sfx.co.uk/2011/06/08/doctor-who-series-seven-scheduling-steven-moffat-speaks/ “Okay, here it is – the best answer you can have. I don’t know. If I did know, I wouldn’t tell you. When I DO know, what I know will change, so I won’t really know then either. And then it will change again, so I still won’t really know. And if, secretly, I’d really known all along, I’d still be telling you I don’t know, because everything I said I knew, could be wrong, so I’d never really have known in the first place. “Quantum security – I don’t know AND it’s a secret. “I’m glad I’ve been able to clarify this for you.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Aww...sad to hear that Roy Skelton has died...for British fans of a certain generation he's probably best known for voices he did for a legendary kids show called Rainbow (in a mere 993 episodes), but he had an association with Doctor who for 22 years during the classic series (from "The Ark" in 1966 up to "Remembrance of the Daleks" in 1988). For me, he's the definitive voice of the Daleks, which he voiced in "Evil of the Daleks" and then in almost every Dalek story from "Planet of the Daleks" up to Remembrance, but he also did the original creepy Cybermen voices in their debut story. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0804031/filmoseries#tt0056751 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I remember seeing him in the Dalek documentaries. Seemed like a nice guy, and had a great Dalek voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 You guys need to youtube Rainbow, like now. Skelton is responsible for Zippy & George, the greatest puppet double act since Statler & Waldorf. The show in question (Rainbow) is about a decade before my time, but the family Wilson had 2 episodes on video which we watched ad nauseam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yhmiPOK2JA&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
