Filming Begins and Guest Stars Confirmed

Filming for Series 7 of Doctor Who started today, in what will be the "craziest adventures yet" of the TARDIS trio, according to Karen Gillan.

“It’s thrilling and exciting to be back and working with two of my closest friends.” Matt Smith says, on returning for his third year as the Doctor.

Several guest stars that will appear in the upcoming series include David Bradley (known for playing Argus Filch in Harry Potter), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley, also of Harry Potter), and Rupert Graves (Detective Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock).

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!

Moffat Explains Delay

In the 2012 edition of The Brilliant Book, Steven Moffat explains why we're waiting until Autumn for Series 7.

“The truth behind the delay next year is: why are we killing ourselves and risking compromising the show, in order to go out in the middle of summer? I’m sick of it. I’m sick of standing in the blazing sunshine, with a barbecue fork in my hand, knowing that Doctor Who is coming on any minute,” he said. “Six o’clock on a sunny Saturday is the middle of the afternoon, whereas six o’clock on a winter or autumn Saturday is dark and exciting”



Moffat also mentioned that Amy and Rory will be back in Series 7, but will not be in the 2011 Christmas special. More appearance from River Song is “Dependent on Alex Kingston”.

He also teased for the 50th anniversary. “Epic, huge, massive, indulgent… all your treats at once…I guarantee you it’s going to be the best year ever to be a Doctor Who fan. We’re going to be in production for longer than ever, just to do everything that we intend to do”.

Two New(ish) Blogs

As you may know, the Seventh Series of Doctor Who will not be airing until Autumn 2012. A blog has been created, The Whovian Withdrawal Symptoms Club, as a way to share Who theories, ideas, and conversations with other Whovians. Keep in mind it is still a very recent blog, so the design and format have not yet been perfected.

Another blog is similar to The Rory Pond Appreciation Society, but focusing on his daughter, River Song. This blog is called The River Song Appreciation Blog.

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.

Arthur Davrill on Series 7

SFX interviewed Arthur Davrill before the press screening of Let's Kill Hitler (which JOV97 of The Whoniverse Blog will be attending by the way).

From SFX:
When we asked him bluntly, “Will you back in series seven?” Darvill replied, “I will be coming back at some point… There is an involvement in some way.”



This indicates that the Ponds (or perhaps just Rory) will not stay on board the TARDIS for Series 7, but instead make an appearance in one or more episodes.

No Ponds for Series 7?

Although Karen Gilllan said Amy Pond would be returning for the next series, word has come that she and Rory may be leaving the TARDIS for Series 7.


A 'source' told the Daily Star: “There are going to be a lot of tears in the finale. The Doctor will set off in the TARDIS for his next adventure on his own. Amy and Rory will be reunited with their baby Melody Pond and they make a decision to stay on Earth to settle down as a family.” The source added: “TV bosses are aware the couple have been popular so this won’t be the last you see of them.”


As Arthur Davrill is staring in the play Doctor Faustus, this could be true. As for Karen's statement, she could mean she'll be back for more episodes, not a complete series.

Despite all the rumours, everything concerning the return of the Ponds is still unconfirmed.
