Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's what I'd heard too, but "Autumn" seems to suggest otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPW Kristian Zane Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 This months Doctor Who Magazine is due out on the 23rd of August with a preview of the new series and they usually only preview it a few days before its due to air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Great! I hope "Autumn" is a decoy then. Â EDIT: FFS, Triple X Wrestling is the 25th as well Edited August 3, 2012 by opcws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Great! I hope "Autumn" is a decoy then. EDIT: FFS, Triple X Wrestling is the 25th as well  Seems to be that we always have a show on the date of the the opener (last 2 series at least), this might be the first of the Matt Smith series I get to watch the opener as it broadcasts if that date is right.  Autumn season starts 1st September officially for BBC, however they need to fit a series of Merlin in after it ends which is usually 12 episodes so I think it'll end up being right.

Mafia Scum Scum Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Been enjoying the current Doctor. Does anyone know how many more series he is under contract for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jaffa Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 Pretty sure that it's just this one. Â I did read that the series being spread out as it is was partly to accomodate his growing movie career. I fully expect this to be his last series although I hope i'm wrong. Smith has been superb in the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'll be devastated when he goes. I really hope they make as big a deal of it as they did with Tennant so I get a shitload of advance warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jaffa Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 That line seems a bit too obvious for something Moffat-penned, don't you think? Â I can see it being a deliberate swerve and 'the eleventh' being something different, like a planet or a new alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He will knock four times" and all that. I remember there being at least a year of build for Tennant's exit from the show, and even know it was known that he was leaving the show, it was through the episodes with him knowing that the end was coming. I quite like this sort of build because it means that, provided we don't get a swerve, we already have a vague idea of how Smith leaves the show, but we have no idea how or when we get there.  I can't wait for this new series to start. I'm hoping that the date for the end of August is correct, though I'll be at Futureshock that night so wouldn't get to see it anyway. I'm going to have to download the series since I'm moving to Germany a few days later, but this will be something to look forward to. That trailer released a few days ago was epic.

Vamp Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Have they said anymore about the episodes all being 'stand alone'? Sounded like bollocks to me, although if it prevents a "yeah, this isn't the interesting bit, the interesting bits always coming later" scenario all season long then I don't think it'll be a bad thing. That was my big complaint about the last season. Nothing in the moment seemed to matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 See, that's what I liked. You knew big stuff was coming and that you'd be rewarded for the time you put in. That's how I prefer it, but I won't dislike it this way. Â As for the "fall of the Eleventh" stuff, I think it absolutely means Smith's exit, and I think Moffat wants it to be obvious. He's not been shy about leaving big things dangling so everybody's waiting to find out what they mean ("The Pandorica will open", "silence will fall", THE QUESTION). Either way, I can't wait. Whenever Smith goes, it should be massive, because he's been easily the best since the revival and one of the best of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 A special casting announcement is to be made at midnight apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Given the timing, I'm going to assume that this will be a part of the continuing assault on the American market. Someone with either a history in American TV/film is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
