I like the new Ice Warriors. They look pretty much the same as they used to, a part from having hands now. It's the better way to bring back old monsters, just modernise them, don't try to redesign the things!
Series 7 Part 2 trailer was released last night:

Also, a clip from the first episode, titled 'The Bells of Saint John':

Another treat too, 'movie style' posters for the first four episodes:
Exciting! 'Hide' looks like it could be a good scary episode!

This appeared on my Facebook feed the other day, which intrigued me, even if it probably IS just a bored nerd over-analysing
And as for Clara, she gets my attention for far more simplistic reasons. Bring on the 30th anyway, and PLEASE don't let it disappoint me again...

I can guarantee that is a nerd over-analysing. That is a screenshot from a post on Tumblr. There's been loads of crazy theories on Clara posted on there. One person put a post up with the theory that Clara is the child of Rose Tyler and 'Doctor Two' (The human clone of the Doctor that stayed with her in the parallel universe). I've seen many things like that the past few months.
Latest news regarding the 50th Anniversary Special:
- It will be a 'TV movie'
- It will be 60-90 minutes long, no time has yet been confirmed by the BBC.
- The special may be shown in cinemas across the UK alongside the premiere on BBC One. It may also be shown in cinemas around the world.
- Only thing confirmed by the BBC so far is that it will be available in 3D.
- Filming is due to begin in April. Filming was due to start this month however they have pushed it back slightly.
Other misc news (if you follow the fan sites then you'll probably know all of this):
- Clara will be back for the 50th Anniversary, Christmas special and series eight.
- The Christmas special and series eight will begin filming in September this year.
- Matt Smith will continue to play the Doctor for the foreseeable future. He's taking the job year by year.

I'd take that with a massive pinch of salt.
There have been numerous 'reports' of Matt Smith leaving. The tabloids tend to use it as 'news' these days when they have days with nothing exciting to report. I'd leave believing anything until there's an official word. Matt is contracted until the Christmas special this year at least.

For those who missed out on the big news regarding the 50th Special today...
Souce: bbc.co.uk
What did everyone think of tonight's episode? I'll be posting my views at the end of this week when I have some time to watch it again.
DOCTOR WHO ANNOUNCES ALL-STAR CAST FOR 50th ANNIVERSARY
David Tennant and Billie Piper to return for blockbuster celebrations with John Hurt also confirmed.
The BBC has today revealed some of the all-star cast that will mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. David Tennant and Billie Piper will join current Doctor and companion, Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, while John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Alien, Harry Potter) will also co-star.
Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, ‘The Parting of the Ways’.
Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant’s last episode, ‘The End of Time’ in 2010.
Also confirmed to join the cast is John Hurt who will also co-star in the 3D anniversary special that will form part of blockbuster celebrations, set to take over the BBC. Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC One, the 50th anniversary will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran.
Filming for the 50th anniversary starts this week. Meanwhile a brand new series starts on BBC ONE today (30 March) at 6:15pm for a run of eight epic episodes, which officially introduces the Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman.

^ Exciting news, I look forwards to it.
Oh dear, oh dear. After 'Asylum of the Daleks' I was expecting another exciting opener. It didn't really fulfill my expectations, I found rather dull and uninspiring. I appreciated the efforts to keep the storyline up to date with technological advancements and in theory, it kind of worked but for me it was a tad boring and failed to fully engage my interest. Clara was good; enthusiastic and flirty, I thought her exchanges with the Doctor were interesting and charged with a good energy. Certain scenes such as the ascent up The Shard and saving the plane were impressive but overall, it just didn't strike much of a chord with me.

Is this genuinely serious? The line "Tennant and Smith's Doctors will at first refuse to accept Hurt is them -- until their sonic screwdrivers confirm it and announce, 'He's us. He's the ninth us'" almost sounds as though it's a joke?! Like you would see in a parody show, Mitchell and Webb stuff.
Moffat seriously is deluded.

This has been discussed loads on Reddit and some other sites, and has generally been panned and shot down in flames. Also, don't forget that The Sun was the paper whose "sources" said the next Doctor was going to be black and then that Matt Smith was going to be woman!

It's simply a rumour. So I wouldn't go taking it as gospel just yet.
There's a strong rumour/possibility that John Hurt will play 'The Lost Doctor' - a incarnation of the Doctor between the 8th and 9th Doctor but who was lost in time.
But yeah, these are all rumours currently!

A writer of The Doctor Who novels came into my school the other day. He announced that the 50th anniversary will be aired in the autumn. And that there are only 3 more episodes left this series. And of course the Christmas special. His name was Daniel Blythe.

Just a heads up.
Due to a massive error on BBC America's part, Series 7: Part 2 DVDs have been sent out early, which has resulted in spoilers on the last episode (The Name of the Doctor) being leaked onto the internet.
Most fan sites have reacted immediately by blocking comments and so on. But just warning people on here to be wary as there are some MAJOR spoilers now surfing the web.

A quick summary of my recent thoughts...
I haven't, admittedly, seen The Cold War, nor the one about the rings or the ghost. But I have seen the episode with the return of the Cybermen and the episode set in Victorian Bradford, and naturally, last night's finale.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of them; the stories were not clearer by any means, but the gist was so much easier to interpret. I thought last night's episode was great; the TARDIS tomb was inventive and John Hurt? Wow.
Can't wait for the special in November.

After completely going off the series around series 5/6, I've thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of episodes. Especially last nights. Moffat managed a finale which answered something for once!
The tone of the whole episode was brilliantly creepy, and the lack of Mumbo Jumbo made for a much easier to follow story. Even when the questions began getting answered, it all made perfect sense. I'd loved it through to the last scene, which I imagined was just going to end up with the usual mopey Matt Smith stuff before getting back to the TARDIS. But then THAT reveal.
Holy Moly Moffat was not wrong when he said this episode changed everything. I'm definitely a fan again!

How on earth did they manage to keep this quiet for so long?!
I can't wait to see the episode in November to see what happens and to see how they do it. I'm becoming quite interested in Doctor Who after missing the last few episodes before the Cybermen due to becoming bored.
So, Matt Smith's Doctor is technically the 12th? This means that there will only be one more regeneration then, yes?
