Happy New Year!!

Happy new year to all our readers!

 2011 has been a very eventful year for Whovians. A (very) brief recap of this year follows.

After one of the most highly rated Christmas special yet, the sixth series was cut into two segments, with an arc-heavy storyline. The identity of River Song was discovered, and the Doctor is now believed to be dead by the majority of the universe.

Sadly, The Sarah Jane Adventures came to a close when Elizabeth Sladen passed away. Nicholas Courtney also passed away, and there was a special tribute moment for him in the series finale.

Amy and Rory will be leaving the TARDIS in the upcoming series, which will be airing in autumn. Filming for the series 7 will begin next month.

Geronimo!

Series 7 will be in Autumn

It seems there will be a long wait between the Christmas special and the start of the next series. According to the Doctor Who magazine, the first half of Series 7 will be airing in the autumn of 2012. The 2012 Christmas special will follow, with the second half of Series 7 airing in early 2013.

It would be almost impossible for Series 7 to be a split series like Series 6, as filming will not begin until Febuary 2012. If this happens, Series 8 will air in time for the 50th Anniversary.
