| Posted: 07 Jun 2011 06:31 AM PDT So we've had rumours of turmoil at BBC Wales, the departure of Piers Wenger, the possible departures of Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, the indication in Private Eye that Series 7 would be postponed and the subsequent announcement from the BBC that 14 new episodes of Doctor Who have been commissioned. But just when will they be broadcast? From what we understand, the 14 episodes are the 2011 Christmas special and a 13-part series, and will all star Matt Smith. We would hope that another two-part series in 2012 will air, but of course following this year's run and the expected higher viewing figures that could occur as the series airs on darker evenings, there is every chance that Series 7 will instead sit astride Christmas 2012. Now that is our personal wish and not speculation: the BBC haven't revealed anything that confirms or denies either of these scenarios. However we have long been advocates of moving Doctor Who to the winter months (in fact, back when The Empty Child was slightly ruined by sun creeping through the crepe curtains of the holiday cottage I was staying in!) and if this means that we get monsters on TV on dark, cold, drawn in nights then that sounds like good news to us! | ||

| 14 More Episodes With Matt Smith Confirmed! Posted: 07 Jun 2011 05:45 AM PDT Sam Hodges, the Head of Communications for BBC One and Fiction has confirmed that Doctor Who and Matt Smith will return for 14 more episodes (2011 Christmas Special + 13 x Episodes in 2012). Confirmation came via Hodges' Twitter account today: "#DoctorWho is returning. Fourteen new episodes have been commissioned with Matt Smith as The Doctor #bbc1" Doctor Who Showrunner, Steven Moffat retweeted adding the following twees: "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" DWO's own Twitter account has been innundated with messages from fans wanting to know what will happen to The Doctor during this season, with Moffat responding to one of the followers: "@EuroboiSteve @DrWhoOnline What, you don't think he's got time, in those 200 years, to have LOTS of adventures. He DIED - you saw him." Further confirmation is expected from the BBC shortly, and more details are coming up in the next issue of Doctor Who Magazine. [Sources: Sam Hodges; Steven Moffat]

| BBC confirms fourteen new episodes of Doctor Who Posted: 07 Jun 2011 03:57 AM PDT  Sam Hodges, Head of Communications for BBC1, Fiction, Daytime and HD at the BBC has confirmed on Twitter this afternoon that Doctor Who has indeed been commissioned for a further fourteen episodes, with Matt Smith continuing in the role. Head writer Stephen Moffat re-iterated: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. The news comes after UK satirical publication Private Eye commented that details on the state of Doctor Who production appear in their latest issue; coupled by an interview with Matt Smith in Saturday's Mirror about his Hollywood asperations, this had promoted widespread speculation in fandom over the series future. | ||
| Panic Over: Series 7 Confirmed! Posted: 07 Jun 2011 03:56 AM PDT Okay, so you've all read the news that we relayed from Private Eye earlier. Well it seems that despite the initial reluctance to comment, the BBC have taken steps to announce that Doctor Who will indeed return for Series 7 in 2012!! The news of the seventh new series of Doctor Who since 2005 – Season 33 in the grand scheme of things – was announced on Twitter of all places (confirming the rushed nature of announcement) by Sam Hodges, Head of Comms at the BBC:
Now obviously we're as delighted as anyone else, but clearly the BBC should never have left it so late that rumours and conjecture started flying around. We suspect that the threat of a front page "Doctor Who Is Dead" on one of the tabloids tomorrow will have forced their hand, and we're grateful that they at least managed to quash the rumours on the day they went "big time" – but seriously, better PR from the BBC in future, please! (Many thanks to Gareth!)

| Posted: 07 Jun 2011 02:47 AM PDT Hooray, I can finally talk about this! It's part of what I'll be doing in DC's relaunch of 52 first issues in September! May I proudly present:  Demon Knights. The art's by Diogenes Neves and Oclair Albert, so you know it's going to look good. It's the Demon, Etrigan, leading an unlikely team of heroes in medieval times. Swords and sorcery and super heroes! And that lovely cover is by Tony Daniel. Like all of the DC launch books, Demon Knights will require no previous knowledge of any of the characters involved, or anything else. New readers start here! And it'll be digitally available the same day it's in the shops. Much, much more to say about that as we approach the launch date. Wish me luck! And talking of comics, various panels from the Phoenix Comicon are now available online, including Just A Minute with John Scalzi, Cherie Priest, Rob Sawyer and Sam Sikes on audio. You can find many other panels from the con on that site. And then there's this... We just goes to show, I shouldn't be allowed near a lectern. At any rate, in short, Demon Knights, excitement, hooray! Cheerio!  | ||

| Posted: 07 Jun 2011 01:43 AM PDT Over the weekend we brought you the news – from Matt Smith's own lips – that he was off to LA to look for work. This came in addition to rumours and suggestions that Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill were also auditioning for new roles, which lead us to the conclusion that Something Is Up at BBC Wales. And despite some of the more bizarre "ostrich" comments both here and on Twitter we're pretty sure that the BBC isn't being straight with Doctor Who fans concering the timing, scheduling or even commissioning of Series 7. Our suspicions have been further aroused by an interesting story in the latest issue of Private Eye (dated June 10th, available from your local newsagent or supermarket or via www.private-eye.co.uk) which details the departure of Piers Wenger to Film4, blames the Series 6 split on poor budget control and scheduling, indicates concerns over the likelihood of the second set of episodes from the 2011 run being ready in time for a Christmas DVD release (something that you may already have heard)and even goes so far as to claim that producers Tracie Simpson and Peter Bennett refused to return to the show after being dismissed, something which may or may not be related to their working relationship with Piers Wenger and Beth Willis. You will need to buy the new edition of the magazine this week to get the full story, but the following ties in with what we've already suspected (and been "informed" by other sources…):
Now let's just put all of this into perspective. Private Eye isn't exactly famous for its fandom of Doctor Who. They're a satirical/investigative journalism periodical that has been a thorn in the side of the British Establishment for years, and rightly so; long may they continue. Private Eye has no real interest in whether Doctor Who is continuing or not, and any claims of pro or anti-BBC bias can be roundly dismissed as their editor, Ian Hislop, is a star of Have I Got News For You and makes various documentaries for the broadcaster. The situation, therefore, is this: the BBC needs to come clean, sort out the questions over Matt Smith's future and stop keeping us in the dark about the issues raised by Private Eye. (With thanks to Michael and Strobes) Announcement Update (Or Lack of…)Premier PR have just told me that the BBC are not planning on making any announcement regarding this matter. Premier PR deal with the majority of Doctor Who PR from DVD releases, Doctor Who: The Adventure Games and other games to the show in the media, so… It looks as though anything concerning this story is going to be left up in the air for the time being. This isn't a complete surprise and it will likely remain this way until either the BBC make an official announcement in their own time or have their hand forced 2005/2007 style and the story is jumped on by the press. Either way, Doctor Who fans need their minds putting at rest. | ||
