More news coming out concerning the 2011�Doctor Who series (or set of series as it is now) is that we may get a reprieve from the Daleks stories. This according to what executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat hinted at the Edinburgh TV Festival:

| Posted: 29 Aug 2010 07:00 AM PDT What do you get when you combine two icons of genre fiction, one world wide web and many hours of procrastination? Genuinely brilliant works by those mastercraftsmen; the fans.
The Automatic Man sees Sherlock Holmes, in a top hat rather than his familiar Deerstalker, and Dr Watson getting caught up in an intriguing Cyberman plot involving human hybrids – with the Tenth Doctor bursting through the scene. Each character is more representative of their various images rather than realistic models and his heavy shading recalls a lot of classic British comics like Dan Dare. The piece was one of the many commissions that McDaid draws for anyone with a bit of spare cash and an over-active immagination. For more of McDaid's Who related art click here. (Thanks to Matt) | ||

| Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:37 AM PDT As you will no doubt have heard by now, Series 6/Season 32 of Doctor Who has been split by the BBC and Steven Moffat – resulting in a series at Easter and a follow on in the Autumn. The announcement was made at the Edinburgh International Television Festival this morning as Steven Moffat and Karen Gillan took part in a Q&A called "Doctor Who: The Masterclass". Initially, this has been reported as a split – however, this is not the case, according to Steven Moffat.
So there you have it – 2011 will not feature Series 6/Season 32 of Doctor Who. It will, instead, feature Series 6/Season 32 and Series 7/Season 33! Conspiracy theories about why the BBC are doing this are of course, nothing more than theories. If they wanted to get rid of Doctor Who, the BBC would cancel it. By bringing the show home to its traditional Autumn/Winter setting in late 2011, this is a further demonstration of their long-term committment to the show. | ||

| Posted: 28 Aug 2010 10:00 PM PDT The Dunoon Observer has reported that former Doctor Who actor Sylvester McCoy has commented on rumours concerning his casting in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit.
McCoy was in the area in his capacity as the Cowal Highland Gathering Chieftain, an invitation that he clearly relished.
It would of course be superb news to find that the Seventh Doctor actor had been cast in such a massive movie – fingers crossed! (Via SFX) | ||
| Next Series to be transmitted in two halves Posted: 28 Aug 2010 09:56 PM PDT  Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, Steven Moffat has announced that the next series of Doctor Who will be split in two with a 'gamechanging' cliffhanger in episode 7."The split series is hugely exciting because viewers will be treated to two premieres, two finales and more event episodes.

| Jago and Litefoot Series Two - Episode Details Posted: 28 Aug 2010 09:52 PM PDT Episode information is now available for Series Two of Jago and Litefoot, which is released in January 2011. The five disc box set sees the return of Christopher Benjamin as Henry Gordon Jago and Trevor Baxter as Professor Litefoot, and the ensemble cast also includes Lisa Bowerman as Ellie, Conrad Asquith as Sergeant Quick and David Collings as Gabriel Sanders The stories are as follows: 2.1 Litefoot and Sanders Written by Justin Richards Directed by Lisa Bowerman Featuring Chloe Howman Women are being killed on the streets of London, and the evidence points to it being the work of a vicious vampire. This should be a case for Jago and Litefoot but – to the astonishment of Jago – the esteemed investigators of infernal incidents have gone their separate ways. It's now a case for Litefoot and Sanders – but Jago isn't going to go away quietly… 2.2 The Necropolis Express Written by Mark Morris Directed by Lisa Bowerman Featuring Vernon Dobtcheff Strange things are happening in the pauper's graveyard at Charnel's End. There are hideous creatures in the undergrowth, a mysterious light emanating from the church, and something deadly beneath the ground itself. Someone from Litefoot's past has come back to haunt him, and things may never be the same again… 2.3 The Theatre of Dreams Written by Jonathan Morris Directed by Lisa Bowerman Featuring Duncan Wisbey, Jennie Stoller, Alex Mallinson "Roll up gentlemen and ladies, roll up! Welcome to Deuteronomy's Theatre De Fantasie, the show where your dreams come true!" Henry Gordon Jago believes he has made a killer booking for the New Regency Theatre. Unfortunately, he is absolutely correct… 1.4 The Ruthven Inheritance Written by Andy Lane Directed by Lisa Bowerman Featuring Duncan Wisbey and Simon Williams The pathology skills of Professor Litefoot and Dr Sacker are called upon by Lord Ruthven, who asks them to catalogue a cache of bones beneath his country estate. And so begins the endgame… as a plan long laid come to its glorious fruition. The series is available for pre-order now, at a special discount price. | ||

| Posted: 28 Aug 2010 09:39 PM PDT Steven Moffat's Q&A at the Edinburgh International Television Festival has been full of surprises – not least confirmation of the rumour that Doctor Who will be broadcast in two runs during 2011! While he wasn't describing Matt Smith's chin as "truly terrifying", or declaring the impending end of the regeneration limit:
…The Grand Moff was busy comfirming what we have already speculated on this morning.
The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc which involves a big plot twist in the middle of the series. By splitting the series Moffat plans to give viewers one of the most exciting Doctor Who cliffhangers and plot twists ever, leaving them waiting, on the edge of their seats, until the autumn to find out what happens. So – to clarify: Doctor Who returns in the Spring, breaks for the Summer, and returns in the Autumn in 2011! | ||

| Posted: 28 Aug 2010 08:15 PM PDT We've already seen today how the next series of Doctor Who will commence shooting in September – quite a bit later than usual. So what is the long term impact of this? BBC chief Jay Hunt has apparently told Digital Spy:
But this doesn't necessarily tell us much about scheduling – it seems to allude more towards the format of the show. Kasterborous has long been an advocate of Doctor Who being aired across the winter months – imagine watching The Empty Child for the first time in cold, dark evenings of December rather than sunny June! However there is more to this. Rumours have reached us in the past of possible changes to the schedule, and there was even talk of splitting Series 5 in half to accomodate the World Cup this year. A change of format, however – this is a quite different kettle of fish. 90 minute episodes, as great as they were for Sherlock, probably wouldn't work for the show in its current form and tone. A series of two part episodes, on the other hand, might work quite well, although there's also scope for a series of 26 half-hour episodes. Disagree? Go and watch Rose and The End of the World without the "Next Time" trailers… | ||

| Karen Gillan: "Anything is Possible in Doctor Who" (video) Posted: 28 Aug 2010 06:51 PM PDT We had the pleasure of meeting Karen Gillan (Amy Pond in Doctor Who) this past April (2010) covering the event for Doctor Who: Podshock. Although we were there chiefly to record audio and shot still photos, we did manage to capture some short video of the red carpet interviews (thanks to the iPhone 3GS). This is one. This is Karen Gillan at the US premiere of Doctor Who (the 1st Matt Smith series) at the Paley Center for Media in NYC speaking of going from her first role in Doctor Who (The Fires of Pompeii) to a full time companion. | ||

| Sarah Douglas is the Blob-Like Entity in Doctor Who (video) Posted: 28 Aug 2010 12:11 PM PDT Here is Sarah Douglas talking about her role in the Doctor Who Adventure Game as the "blob-like entity" / Professor Meadows in this short video. You may recall we broke the story of Sarah's role in Doctor Who when we interviewed her earlier this year at I-CON. If you didn't catch it, it was Doctor Who: Podshock 189. On a personal note, it was a real delight spending time with Sarah this past spring. We had her on our show when she during the early stage of this video game project, we would love to have back to speak more on it sometime in the future.
