Karen Gillan on Amy and Rory's future
In the Doctor Who: Brilliant Book, Karen Gillan has shed some light on the subject of Amy and Rory's future.
'I don't want Amy to pop up again every so often, because for me it would take away from the big, emotional goodbye.' she says, '...Steven Moffat wants it as well. When Amy actually, properly leaves, we both really want it to be for good.'
And on what that big, emotional goodbye could be: 'I think it could be done, if you tackled it right... death could be an option.'

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.

Moffat on Series 7
It's been confirmed that the Seventh Series of Doctor Who will not be airing until Autumn 2012. However, there's been little talk of how many episodes there will be. In a recent update to Total TV Guide, he revealed everything is yet to be decided.
"Our plans are still in flux. It's not a secret that we'll be moving to later in the year, but as to how many episodes there are going to be. I simply don't know." The headwriter also assures Whovians they won't be disappointed. "I will absolutely garantee that you're not going to be disappointed or short-changed. It will be a quite remarkable time for Doctor Who."

The Wedding of River Song Today!
Today is the day we've been waiting for: The Wedding of River Song airs today!
Summary: The city of London, 22 April 2011 – soaring buildings, glittering and mighty under a perfect blue sky, and life tumbling onto pavements below. And horse-drawn Roman chariots driving through the streets. And a Victorian steam train on a monorail… hang on, like in a sci-fi city, but with Romans and steam trains? And hot air balloons? And pterodactyls? And Charles Dickens appearing on BBC One’s Breakfast! Something isn’t quite right…
In Buckingham Senate, at 5.02pm, Holy Roman Emperor Winston Churchill calls for his Soothsayer to be fetched from the Tower. Greying, unkempt, older, tireder, but unmistakably – it’s the Doctor. “Tick tock goes the clock,” Winston tells him, “but they don’t, do they? The clocks never tick.” It’s always 5.02pm these days. All of history is happening at once. “What happened to time?” asks Winston. The answer, it seems, is a woman…
