I think they do as it was from a different thread which has been merged into here. That thread said that new companion comes in ep.6 which is a lie unless you count the Christmas special as ep.6.
Oh I see. I suppose the christmas special technically will be the sixth episode aired.
No, they've split it into halves again. 5 episodes will be shown this year, and then the rest will be shown next year, after the Christmas Special I think...
Clip from the breakfast show on Thursday morning (30th), with a possibly quite spoilery clip in it (so don't watch it if you've been avoiding all spoilers). Might make a bit more sense of the end of Pond Life though
Spoiler free reviews from reputable critics (which are of course subjective) have been generally v. positive. I'm definitely looking forward to this one But then I always look forward to Doctor Who (I'm biased I know, I know )
Why are they not showing Doctor Who Confidential this year?
It's not on any more? Doesn't surprise me really. As good as it was, in 6 years they had shown pretty much all the behind the scenes they can. Last series got a bit naff really with a focus on MS, AD and KG mucking about behind the scenes.
