Matt Smith has described Doctor Who's upcoming sixth series as "harrowing" for the Time Lord and his companions.

Bang Showbiz quotes the 28-year-old actor as saying that the Tardis crew will be facing several very dangerous adventures when the sci-fi drama returns this spring.

"The Doctor and Amy (Karen Gillan) are going to be faced with some really harrowing and seismic choices about their relationship and who they are, and why they are important together," he said.

Smith also promised fans that the new series is to feature a terrifying new enemy who he predicts will rank among The Doctor's most menacing foes.

"I do think we've got one of the greatest monsters, especially during my tenure on the show, but I think in the history of it. It's a real cracker," the star remarked.

Earlier this week, Smith vowed that fans will be satisfied when Professor River Song's (Alex Kingston) true identity is revealed.

Doctor Who returns to BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US in the spring.

[Joe.]

Saturday 7th May- According to rumours.

THE RANI ARE BACK YES!

[Glenn.]

I don't think it will start in May. The series is being split in two, so I think its probable that the mid-series finale will air around that time.
Think Doctor Who Magazine has said it begins at Easter. Which would follow suit to previous series starts.

[Daniel R]

Well, according to some other forums... the start date has been confirmed as Saturday 23rd April in the States. I presume this will be the same date it airs here in the UK.

Also, both parts of the two-part opener are supposedy going to air on the Saturday AND the Sunday of Easter Weekend. :D

OMG I hope so! Don't think I'm gonna be able to manage to wait a week for the second part. Apparantly the monsters in the opening two parter are down right terrifying.

Rumors have it, that its

The Silence
mentioned in the last series.

I am pretty sure that both will air on Easter Weekend too. It's the perfect opportunity, me thinks.

Oh, and a very, very reliable forum member (apparently works for the BBC, whose information has always been correct) on a Doctor Who forum has said to watch out for a brand-new trailer airing on... SORRY, CAN'T DO SPOILER TAGS :(...

Yeah I read that somewhere to. I think this series is going to be epic. Can't waoit for episode 7(mid series finale). Little but peeved that we\ve got to wait for the second half of the series though.

[Maia]

Ahhh can't wait :D

[Glenn.]

Doctor Who Magazine has confirmed the Sixth series will start on Saturday 23rd April.

[Jessica.]

:amazed: I am so excited, I can't wait!

[Daniel R]

...And, the first two episode titles have finally been confirmed by Lizo Mzimbo (of Newsround) as:

The Impossible Astronaut & Day Of The Moon

This was apparently announced at the screening of the episodes.

:)

[Glenn.]

I think the episodes will be based on the moon landings.

[Glenn.]

Steven Moffat has claimed that the opening episode of the upcoming sixth series of Doctor Who is a "belter".

The showrunner revealed on Twitter that he had watched an almost finished version of the episode, which will see Matt Smith and Karen Gillan reprise their roles as the Doctor and Amy Pond.

"In Cardiff and just saw the (very nearly) complete ep 1 of Who," he wrote. "Could be biased but I think it's a belter.

[Stephanie]

ee i can't wait.

[Glenn.]

The new trailer for series 6 is airing tonight on BBC at 8pm. If you can't wait then its on the official site.

[Daniel R]

That trailer is stunning!

Words actually cannot describle how much I want April 23rd to arrive...

I spotted the Tennant TARDIS Console at one point.

*Squee*

:spin::dance:

[AJ.]

Karen Gillan :lovedup:

[Glenn.]

Ive added the trailer:thumbs:

[Joe.]

My theory for the death-

Amy finds somethign out about River so shocking that she shoots her [reffering back to end of trailer] however this causes a time warp, as River has met David Tennant's Doctor, therefore thats how we see tennant's TARDIS.

So excited. Planned my series finale to come out the weekend before in preperation. Heard so many rumours and stuff. Gonna be an awsome weekend.

Nice theory. A massive spoiler about a "twist" in the opening two-parter has been leaked on Digital Spy...

This is a MASSIVE spoiler. Seriously...

There are two regenerations. One of them isn't the Doctor's.

...Oh, and those people on your thread about your own Doctor Who series are so rude! Just ignore them!

Nope. Not in the season opener. Will never happen. River Song is a Time Lady I think, but not sure yet. I know who Amy is, read a wee bit of a leaked script. I'm saying no more.

Oh, you tease!


But, like I said, that spoiler was given by a reliable source on Digital Spy so I don't know what to believe. Seriously.

Still, 1 week & 5 days. Cannot wait.

[Glenn.]

Thought I would bump this, as it starts tomorrow.

Here are ten teasers about The Impossible Astronaut


1. The rumours are true - one of the lead characters really does die. It's not a trick. And it happens within the first ten minutes.

2. When we first see the Doctor, he's in a… compromising position.

3. For Amy and Rory, it's been a while since the events of A Christmas Carol. And for The Doctor? Possibly even longer.

4. The Doctor gets slapped, again.

5. "The legs, the nose and Mrs. Robinson."

6. Amy reveals a shocking secret, but is keeping another from The Doctor.

7. The Doctor drinks wine, and isn't a fan.

8. "River, make it blue again!"

9. One character makes a Star Trek reference. Several times.

10. "You will tell the Doctor what he **** ****, and what he **** ***** ****."

[Daniel R]

Right then, it seems the "rumour" I heard is actually true...

MAJOR SPOILER. Seriously...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_110423_01/Unmissable_The_Next_24_Hours

THE FIRST & THIRD PICTURES!

Wow.

They are creepy.

[Braden]

Late coming back from London = miss Doctor Who = what am I gonna do with my life?

[Daniel McIver]

Loved the first episode , lots of un-answered question , cant wait for next week ! :D

[Callum]

Great episode. Didn't feel like a series opener but I loved it. I like how Rory is part of the main cast too now, he's a good character.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

this might sound stupidly obvious but does anybody else think

river is the astronaut

[GypsyGoth]

this might sound stupidly obvious but does anybody else think

river is the astronaut

:shocked: I didn't think of that, but it kinda makes sense.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

but

the kid amy shot at the end then kinda kills that theory unless that was actually river as a child :amazed:

[Marsh.]

I think River's gonna turn out to be the personification of the Tardis.
What was it they said "longest serving companion"?

[Daniel R]

I actually think I've worked this out...

Didnt River say she killed the best man she ever knew? Surely that's the Doctor, right? What if the little girl in the spacesuit is River as a child, and she was the one who shot the Doctor.
Also, Amy said that she was pregnant, and the Doctor seemed shocked by this. He could be the father and River could turn out to be that baby; i.e. She is Amy and the Doctor's daughter? But then, why would she call him 'sweetie' and make these smutty jokes? I'm really confused, but I still think it was River (as a little girl) in the spacesuit. This is pure speculation. I'm just guessing.

I can breathe now...

03) RTD's gay agenda is back.
04) Rory loves grits. Who doesn't?
05) The Sonic Screwdriver is used as a weapon of sorts.
06) A whole twenty different kinds of alien tech?
07) Amy, Rory, and River Song are being hunted down by the FBI. But who's running the show?
08) Neil Armstrong's foot!
09) Two main characters are shot in different scenes in the same way.
10) The Doctor and River Song sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. . . OK, not a tree...
11) The big link to The Lodger isn't solved this time.
12) Regeneration? The youngest one yet?
13) Amy goes missing for about twenty minutes of screentime. Is it to a future episode I wonder?

PURE RUMOR NOW! BUT MASSIVE SPOILERS IF IT HAPPENS. I WARNED YOU! SPOILER REGARDING THE FINAL IN OCTOBER!
WARNED YOU. MASSIVE SPOILERS IF THIS IS TRUE!


Apparently, The Child inside the spacesuit is river. And River is Amy's Daughter according to filming reports. The Filming report shows River in her 'Flesh and Stone' clothes with Amy in her 'Flesh And Stone' clothes also and River says 'Wasn't that fun Mother?'
If this is true. OODSNSIPDUGPDBUGDF OMG!!!!! But remember. I warned you

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

im so lost with all of this now :(

[GypsyGoth]

I thought the show this evening was great, really creepy when Amy looked up to see the monsters hanging batlike from the ceiling.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

and when all those marks just randomly appeared there was like hundreds on her i was like D:

[joeysteele]

Really good episode, he is a good Doctor Who, he's fit into the role really good.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

hes so much better than david tennant

[Judas]

hes so much better than david tennant

Yes. And ten times hotter...

[Glenn.]

Episode 3 starts at 6.15!!

[Callum]

This one looks really good!

[Marsh.]

Why are they on the ship again? Another random encounter?

I like Doctor Who but I hate it when they do episodes that are like movie spoofs. In this case PooC: Curse of the Black Pearl.

[Jarrod]

What did everyone make of 'The Doctor's Wife' trailer?

[Braden]

I don't know, but i'm getting freaked out by that woman that's appearing in the episode.

You know the one that appears in random places, witht he bad special effects.

[Marsh.]

The special effects didn't bother me. Just the story was lacking and Lily Cole's lack of a chin was quite interesting.

[Jamesy]

I wasn't fussed on tonight's episode personally although it was nice to have a more light hearted and fun episode just as a good breather from the pile of cliffhangers we've had for the first two episodes.

Next weeks episode looks interesting. We'll be seeing more of the interior of the TARDIS and we'll also be seeing the hold console room (David Tennants) TARDIS which should be interesting.

[Glenn.]

The Doctor's Wife tonight at 6.30pm on BBC1

[Rob]

What's that?

[Jarrod]

The Doctor's Wife was Amazing (: Roll on The Rebel Flesh!

[Glenn.]

How good was tonight's episode?
A walking talking T.A.R.D.I.S.
I got a little choked up when, Idris said 'Hello' at the end:sad:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

omgz i wonder what she meant the only water in the forest is the river (obvz something to do with river) :suspect:

[Daniel R]

I'mma give 'The Doctor's Wife' 9/10...

Next week's looks A-MA-ZING. :dance:

Matt Smith just gets better and better.

[Marsh.]

Suranne Jones was brill in this and strangely had a great chemistry with Matt Smith. Loved this episode.

[Glenn.]

I thought Suranne Jones was superb.

This episode was probably what every Doctor Who fan wants, an episode with the TARDIS in human form, able to speak etc.

I loved it.

[Daniel R]

What an amazing episode.
Started off a bit slow, but picked up pace and ended with a great cliffhanger.

The Rebel Flesh - 9/10 Awesome.

[GypsyGoth]

Those things gave me the creeps.

And I think Amy should have slapped Rory the way he was infatuated with that ganger.

[Glenn.]

The Isle of Sheppey was mentioned twice in tonights episode. That's where I live :joker:

[Daniel R]

The Isle of Sheppey was mentioned twice in tonights episode. That's where I live :joker:

The Isle of Sheppey sounds like such a peaceful place...

Just pointing that out. :blush:

[Glenn.]

Second part of last weeks episode is on at 6.45pm tonight.

I'm really excited for this episode, because there is one almighty cliffhanger at the end.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

finishes for a few months next week :bawling:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

:eek::eek::eek:

wonder whos baby it is then :shocked:

[Shaun]

Watched it tonight for the first time in ages...really liked it. The monster bitch :lovedup: actually quite scary for a change.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

im still confused :bawling:

when did amy become flesh and how did she get pregnant :nono:

[Daniel R]

That was amazing too. This series is my favourite yet...

I gave The Rebel Flesh- 9/10.
I give The Almost People- 10/10.

Go and watch next week's trailer on the BBC website. The Doctor shouts a lot.

Next week's is the last until September. Damn.

[Jarrod]

Amy was a Ganger! :O Loved the episode. Series 6 is turning out to be one of the best since 2005 (Best being 2006 :P) Moffat is Genius! Anyway. ROLL ON SATURDAY!

[Jarrod]

im still confused :bawling:

when did amy become flesh and how did she get pregnant :nono:

Well...
Well i had a theory, When Amy was kidnapped by the Silence in 'Day Of The Moon' She was gone for ages and she didn't know how long. I think that Amy was copied by the Silence. Because the Silence return in Episode 13 where EVERYTHING Reveals itself. Anyway thats my theory :)

Also that could explain why Amy has been wearing the same Shirt since Episode 2..

[vikkiangelic]

Ahhh, but Amy was seeing the eye patch lady beforethe silence took her! So it must have been before that!

[Braden]

Time can be rewritten.

[Tom4784]

It was really good, I can't wait for next week's.

[Daniel R]

So, do we definately find out who River Song is next week?
I hope the cliffhanger isn't "I am..." To Be Continued...

[Glenn.]

Well...

Amy Ganger was put in place by the unknown whatever before the events of The Impossible Astronaut. It was said on Confidential. (I think)

[Glenn.]

Prequel to this weeks episode

JiB3SdlQ6sI&feature=related

"Let's Kill Hitler" the name of the next episode :laugh2:

RIVER IS AMY'S DAUGHTER ahh/

[Braden]

Like we didn't see that coming. :p

I wonder how this episode will link with an episode about Hitler?

[Jarrod]

I thought the end was that...but i never expected it :O

My Theory i thought about about a week ago.

Thing i thought about. Melody - Song and River - Pond. So it could have been that...

Roll On Autumn!

Karen Gillian was seen filming alongside a lookalike in the same clothes for this episode, so maybe another clone?

[Daniel R]

Oh my God...
I'd worked it out but it was still amazing. Steven Moffat is a genius.

10/10

"Let's Kill Hitler" sounds interesting.

[Daniel R]

Karen Gillian was seen filming alongside a lookalike in the same clothes for this episode, so maybe another clone?

Yup. I've seen those pictures... Interesting that they also show:
A bunch of Germans running out of a building, half-naked.

There's a video on YouTube, I think.

[Glenn.]

:amazed:

How good was that episode!!!

[Tom4784]

It was a good episode but I was a bit disappointed with the River Song reveal. It was too predictable in the end.

[Jarrod]

Karen Gillian was seen filming alongside a lookalike in the same clothes for this episode, so maybe another clone?

Yeah Amy will have another one.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

-shakes and cries-

that was sf amazing

[Judas]

I don't get what happened really, it just so easy in that so called huge battle? So is mad eye lady defeated?

[Smithy]

no mad eye lady got away with the baby, they gotta go get her now

[Glenn.]

But the baby the mad eye patch lady took is actually River Song :thumbs:

[Smithy]

so really they should leave her, coz she obv turns out ok

[Daniel R]

So, it's Amy and Rory's baby (River) that goes to the library in the future and dies? That's going to be emotional. :bawling:

[Daniel R]

Not neccesarily Series 6 related, but 14 new episodes with Matt Smith as the Doctor have been confirmed by Steven Moffat on Twitter.

Yup. I was sad this morning. I'm happy now.

[Daniel R]

Though apparently

Amy and Rory won't be returning, which means a new companion for The 11th Doctor. Will be interesting.

[Tom4784]

Wow an assistant that's lasted three series, I don't think that's happened in the new series yet hasn't it? I hope Rory's back too.

I'm excited the angels are back although i thought Moffett said he was retiring them? They're good villains though

That's what I'm worried about.
Rory is my all-time favourite companion, and nothing about him returning has been mentioned...

I seriously hope they don't kill him off again.

New trailer for Doctor Who

Doctor Who - Series Six - Part 2 - Trailer 2
The BBC Have released a new trailer for Doctor Who Series Six Part 2 featuring new footage.
szw0dyFtJqk

[Glenn.]

Can I ask why there is another Doctor Who thread when we already have one?

[Glenn.]

Doctor Who star Matt Smith has expressed his belief that The Doctor is often inconsiderate of his companions' feelings.

Smith explained that The Doctor doesn't give enough thought to how his companions' lives are affected by travelling with him through space and time.

"He's such a nomad, and he does his thing.... He doesn't quite engage in the way that other people do. He's his own man," the actor told SFX.

Smith added: "When you think about it, he's actually quite selfish. Because he picks these people up - often hot women - and then cruises around, drops them off, and goes, 'See you later. Someone else's turn!'"

The star also revealed that he has several favourite Doctor Who episodes from his tenure so far, saying: "I love the [Weeping] Angels episodes, 'The Time Of Angels'. I love 'The Eleventh Hour', I love 'Day of the Moon', I love 'The Big Bang', I love 'Vincent And The Doctor'… It's so tricky. I love them for so many different reasons because I have so many memories associated with them."

Smith recently insisted that Doctor Who's 50th anniversary in 2013 must be "an event".

Doctor Who returns to BBC America in the US on August 27 and will air on the same day on BBC One in the UK..

The trailer is amazing.

I caught it on TV before Torchwood, it looks even better on a bigger screen.

[Glenn.]

Again I ask why there is another Doctor Who thread when we have one already? Could a mod merge these please?

[Glenn.]

Returns tonight at 7.10pm!

[Iceman]

merged

[Glenn.]

Thanks Eoin :hug:

[Iceman]

No Problem

[Jarrod]

Thanks for Merging xD

[Shaun]

Good episode.

[Firewire]

Doctor Who was great tonight!

[GypsyGoth]

I really enjoyed it too. Although I kinda wished Mel was a new character.

[Smithy]

It's so confusing :joker:

[Jarrod]

Very interesting episode tonight. Enjoyed it.

[Glenn.]

How good was the episode tonight. When Mel regenerated I was like :shocked:

It was nice to see River Song being flirty and evil at the same time. Still don't see how the heck the Doctor can get out of being killed by that impossible astronaut.

[Daniel R]

Another amazing episode. I'm looking forward to 'Night Terrors'.

[Jarrod]

Episode 9 - Night Terrors
'You see these eyes? They're old eyes. And one thing I can tell you... monsters are real!'
The TARDIS takes the Doctor, Amy and Rory to the scariest place in the universe where the Time Lord must help a little boy called George and his desperate father.
Check out the episode's trailer or watch an introduction featuring guest star Danny Mays. We've got galleries featuring behind-the-scenes shots, images from the adventure and much more!

[GypsyGoth]

Scarey and weird ep so far.

[Roy Mars III]

I have chosen the Doctor over Cowell, hopefully he doesn't let me down.

[GypsyGoth]

:bawling: make the creepiness stop.

[Roy Mars III]

Why do they still let Gatiss write for Doctor Who? He's done some great stuff(League of Gentlemen and Sherlock) but his Doctor Who is highly generic. I don't know, with this I felt like I was watching Fear Her meets Paradise Towers, it was okay but unoriginal.

[Saph]

I havent watched this latest series, I just cant take to the new doctor :( I was a HUUGE fan of the first 4 series :D My favourate episode was the one where the doctor and Rose went to New Earth with the cat nuns and then that stretched skin lady from My Family was hiding in the basement stealing medicine LOL :D Ill have to start watching again, next episode looks scary with those doll head things :o ..arnt they the dolls from the BB9 jail :suspect:

Doctor Who isn't the same any more. I LOVED! Series 2-4 and the Specials. The New series are just to confusing and the story arc is in every episode which drags.

Matt Smith isn't anywhere near the best Doctor, but he's better than Tennant.

Still no one could ever beat this guy:

[Smithy]

last nights was so crap

so predictable too

[Tom4784]

I liked the first four series but the past two have blown them out of the water. The older series were a bit too formulaic at times. You always knew that the doctor would point the screwdriver at a machine and fix everything, that was pretty much all of RTD's endings.

[Shaun]

I thought last night's was a bit boring. The drama was really quite contained.

[Saph]

I want this bitch back ;)

Also here are 15 teasers from the Episode

It’s the least noticeable Doctor-lite episode there has ever been
And it’s completely standalone
Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are on top form throughout and it’s really their episode
If only Amy hadn’t pushed that button
“******* are cool, see.”
Rory is an admirer of fine ‘art’
“This is a kindness, do not be alarmed”
A greeting from Let’s Kill Hitler is repeated
The Doctor is jealous of something Amy has made
36 years
“I hate *** ******!”
Amy gets a new pet and it will make you smile
Rory almost does what he does. Again
It’s extra wobbly
Another common phrase from Moffat’s-era crops up again

[Daniel R]

One of the Youtube comments on the "Next-Time" Trailer:

"OMFG!! The guy in glasses! David Tennant is back! YAY!! <3"

The 'guy in glasses' is Rory. :suspect: :idc:

[Kate!]

I didn't like "Night Terrors". one of the poorest efforts for a while. Hope it gets back on track this week.

Random comment - Rory in glasses!! Sexy! ;)

[Jarrod]

Episode 10 - The Girl Who Waited
The Girl Who Waited is a visually stunning episode packed with moments of drama and heart-break. Written by Tom MacRae (Rise of the Cybermen) it promises to be a special treat for fans of Amy and Rory.
After Amy becomes trapped in a quarantine facility for plague victims, Rory must make one of the toughest decisions of his life... Watch videos and check out our new galleries now! And don't forget, The Girl Who Waited is followed immediately by Doctor Who Confidential on BBC3

[GypsyGoth]

I loved this evening's ep, it was clever, funny and exciting :love:

[Roy Mars III]

Arthur Darvill was amazing in this episode. Stole the show.

Good episode all around.

[Jarrod]

One heck of a Episode. One of my favourites so far.

[Daniel R]

Arthur Darvill is amazing as Rory. He was fantastic tonight!

9/10. All ready for The God Complex. David Walliams is in it!

[Visage]

I thought the episode started off a little slow and I couldn't work out where it was going. By the end I was hooked and even a little emotional, I loved it.

[Dilligaf]

I'm starting to fall out with Dr Who this series. I want to see the Doctor, not the 'watch Rory and Amy run around aimlessly' show. The Dr is rapidly becoming a support role for those two instead of the other way around.

[Tom4784]

It was a decent episode, I'm guessing Amy and Rory will be back for the last episode.

Not as much of a support role as he was to the Rose and her family show. From a few years ago

[Callum]

Last week's episode was great, in fact they've all been great this series. The quality has kept up week after week.

[GypsyGoth]

On now :love:

[Livia]

It's lost all credibility since Russell T Davis left. I'm watching it right now and it's feeble sh**.

[Jarrod]

I feel like the River Song story is fully explained now.

[brian3]

It's lost all credibility since Russell T Davis left. I'm watching it right now and it's feeble sh**.

yes, bring back episodes like love and monsters. The doctor condeming people to the life of a pathing slab.

[Smithy]

it's been so crap

[Roy Mars III]

It's lost all credibility since Russell T Davis left. I'm watching it right now and it's feeble sh**.

I'm not a fan of it now, but it was even more **** when RTD was running the show.

[Joelle.]

Ive never really watched it since he 'regenerated' into Matt Smith but watched the last 3 and they've been quite good. Looking forward to the last episode.

Torchwood is better though. :love:

[Tom4784]

The past two series have been the best yet, RTD's series were far too formulaic looking back. You could always guarantee that the Doctor would point his screwdriver at something and solve everything at the last second and the arcs were always reduced to key words that never gained meaning until the last two episodes (Bad Wolf, Torchwood, Saxon, Bees/Medusa Cascade/flashes of Rose). I liked RTD's version but it was a lot more flawed then Moffet's.

I really question the taste of people who honestly preferred RTD's Who in comparision though.

[Daniel R]

Doctor Who Confidential has been axed by the BBC.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/sep/28/doctor-who-confidential-axed?CMP=twt_fd

It's all over Twitter, too. :(

[Glenn.]

The series finale is tonight!!!

The Wedding of River Song :amazed:

I agree.

I prefer the show how it is now. I mean OK its a tad complicated at times but that provokes discussion and theories and everything, and its not a bad thing to work your brain, instead of sitting in front of the TV like gormless idiots, drinking in moronic stories.
RTD's era was good. He revived the show and without him, it wouldn't be where it is today.

I do think Steven Moffat is the better writer, in terms of an actual thought out story.

[Jarrod]

RTD did a good job.

Steven Moffat is better at a long-term storyline.

The Wedding Of River Song
It's the big one. How big? Well, it's the epic episode that brings the current series to a spectacular climax, with the Doctor aware that only his death can keep the universe safe. And so we return to Lake Silencio as the Time Lord prepares for a date with destiny...
Old friends like River, Amy and Rory return along with Churchill, Charles Dickens and Dorium Maldovar. But enemies from the Doctor's past also feature. There's Dalek action and the Silence and Kovarian are back with a vengeance!
Immediately after the episode, switch to BBC Three for Doctor Who Confidential. It features the brand new mini-adventure, Death is the Only Answer, and a must-see look at River Song's timeline.

[Daniel R]

Fantastic episode! :amazed:

The Doctor with a beard, Winston Churchill, Eye-patch Amy, Bad-ass Rory, Dinosaur-ish, bird-things and a little blue head.

[Tom4784]

I thought it was a good episode although I think it would have been better if it was a two parter as I felt it was a bit rushed in the end and the Silence and Kovarian really didn't have much of a point in the end because of it. I'm guessing they'll find a way not revealing the Doctor's name but it'd be a lot more interesting and unexpected if they didn't.

I reckon we'll be seeing a lot more of River next series, maybe she'll even be a proper companion.

[Roy Mars III]

God, I hate River. Almost as bad as Donna.

[Glenn.]

God, I hate River. Almost as bad as Donna.

:nono:

[Tom4784]

I liked River and Donna. Both are and were very different to the usual companions.

[Daniel R]

God, I hate River. Almost as bad as Donna.

I hate her too. I liked Donna though.

[Jarrod]

Amazing Episode. Roll on Christmas now.

Waiting for the Box Set now :P

[Smithy]

K, so im the only one who found it really predictable and a load of ****?

[Tom4784]

I thought how he got out of it was predictable but I didn't guess the question at all.

Overall it was a strong series although I kinda think it suffered being the middle child in a trilogy. It kind of felt like they focused on setting up the next series rather then focusing on the story at hand. It was a good episode though.

[Daniel R]

I preferred last year's finale, but this was still good.

[Marsh.]

To say that series 5 and 6 have been very complex it was more of a wimper than a bang this year's finale.

It's a case of making a very simple, run of the mill, predictable storyline more complicated than it needed to be by making Alex Kingston pop up in the wrong order.

I hope they go back to actually telling stories next series, enough of this Doctor's wife, baby, looming death. It's been done enough already. No more River/Doctor flirting.

No way did the River Song arc need to be dragged out so long. To think we were first introduced to her in 2008.
Enough is enough.

What was the question again? :conf:

I feel terrible asking that. I'm supposed to be a fan. :joker:

Was it Doctor Who? or something to do with looking into his eyes?


It kind of felt like they focused on setting up the next series rather then focusing on the story at hand.

This is my main problem with Steven Moffat's era. Great writer but he seems to always be setting things up with no pay off.

We all love a good cliffhanger and suspense but there comes a time when the story needs wrapping up.

[Callum]

Liked the series finale, felt it could have been better but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to the Christmas special now, will be odd not to have it on every Saturday night. Are Amy and Rory returning for the next series?

[Callum]

What was the question again? :conf:

I feel terrible asking that. I'm supposed to be a fan. :joker:

I think the question was simply Doctor who?

[Tom4784]

It's to do with his name I think, it'll be interesting to see how they get out of revealing it although it'd be a lot more interesting if they did.

[Daniel R]

I don't think they should ever reveal his name. It's not 'Doctor Who' if you know what he's called.

[Daniel R]

They're apparently in it, but just not as full-time companions, which is a shame.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, Karen Gillan said she'd be back for "some episodes". Which sounds like Martha in series 4. Just popping in every now and then whilst a new full-time companion takes over.

But it's looking likely we'll have another year of specials, and then the full series spread in 2013 for the 50th anniversary.

[Glenn.]

I wish they didn't muck around with the series formats. What's wrong with airing 13 episodes weekly?

[Daniel R]

I wish they didn't muck around with the series formats. What's wrong with airing 13 episodes weekly?

This. In my opinion, the mid-series break didn't work. I just wanted to watch the rest of the series, not wait 2 months for the next episode.

[Tom4784]

Apparently they aren't splitting it, I remember reading it somewhere. I think Amy & Rory will be in the next series a lot more then we think. They're kind of important to the whole Silence arc so I couldn't imagine them just popping in for an episode or two a la Martha. I think we'll be getting River as a full time companion next series as they need to start developing their relationship really.

[Glenn.]

Doctor Who stars Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will be leaving the show during the next series, it has been confirmed.

The actors will be leaving their roles as The Doctor's companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams midway through the show's seventh run in 2012 in what was described as a "heartbreaking end".

Showrunner Steven Moffat confirmed at a press screening that Matt Smith's Time Lord will be joined by "a new friend" following their departure.

"The final days of the Ponds are coming during the next series," he said. "Then The Doctor will meet a new friend."

Moffat added that he believes River Song (Alex Kingston) will make a return appearance, though it is unknown if the character will be involved in the couple's exit storyline.

It has been confirmed on the official Doctor Who Twitter profile that more details will be revealed tomorrow (December 16).

Smith stated: "The show will miss the Ponds, brilliantly played by Karen and Arthur, but the great thing about Doctor Who is its ability to change."

Gillan and Darvill both made their Doctor Who debut as Amy and Rory in the first episode of the show's fifth series in 2010.

Gillan told Digital Spy in August that she expected to be a part of the sci-fi's seventh run.

Addressing Amy and Rory's potential departure last month, the actress said: "Death would be an option. I don't want Amy to pop up again every so often, because for me it would take away from the big, emotional goodbye. Once she's gone, she's gone. I want people to remember the Amy Pond era as a good one."

Moffat revealed in November that Doctor Who's seventh series will air next Autumn.

:sad:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ugh i love amy :sad:

[Glenn.]

Me too. Longest companions so far, if I'm not mistaken.

[Maia]

Noooo! I love Amy too :sad: She's one of the best companions ever.

[GypsyGoth]

Aww :(

[Daniel R]

I'm really going to miss Rory. :(

[Glenn.]

I just hope when they do go, they don't make numerous returns like Rose :bored:

[Shaun]

aw. I liked this current lineup.

[Visage]

I'm glad. Amy & Rory never worked for me, I'm not that crazy over fancy dress.

[Callum]

I will miss both, I thought both were good companions but this was always inevitable really. The next companion has big boots to fill.

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, I think Amy will get killed off. That's what Karen wants to leave the show via killed off, and they could bring her back since the doctor can travel through time
