Season Six and Seven: Spring/Autumn 2011

No, the TARDIS could land on a planet with an insect problem. The intergalactic Orkin Man comes to exterminate the ginormous locusts and...
Well, you get the idea.
Persistent rumor, but nothing more than that.
And even if it is true, it doesn't have to mean they're the actual focus of the story. A Dalek appeared in "The Waters of Mars," and Terry Nation received a credit for them, but they obviously weren't the real villains of the story.
The Daleks need Doctor Who, Doctor who does not need the Daleks (for the most part)
Where else are the Daleks gonna go?
The Nation Estate and the BBC will always find away to work together.

Not quite. Airng order of a show and the Production order of a show are not always the same. A good example of this is Futurama when it was shown on Fox. It had a production run of four seasons yet Fox aired five. This was done by saving episodes and showing them the next season. Infact Fox's season five was a comination of production season three and four. They also changed the viewing order of the episodes. When it was released on DVD the original four season production order was restored. To complicate matters some shows when released on DVD/Blu-ray retain the production order while others retain the original aring order.
I'm greedy. I want the whole damn season in one go. Eh...whatever. I'll watch until it's cancelled.
So, does this mean, 2012 gets six episodes in autumn and that's it?
As for the "no Daleks" Digitalspy story - bollocks. They have to get their money's worth out of the new props, and note the magic words "hinted there may be" and "currently no plans... but we're not done yet."

No, this means 2011 gets seven episodes in spring and six episodes in autumn.
If it works, they will probably keep this schedule for further seasons.

No. Doctor Who should definitely not have the same length as an episode of Two and a Half Men.
The validity of that claim is in question. There is no official word regarding it, but then it would explain why they included the Dalek flashback in Waters of Mars.
However, even if it is true, I'm sure there are ways around it. Maybe instead of featuring Daleks in an episode of Doctor Who that year they could use them in Sarah-Jane Adventures or Torchwood or perhaps another spin-off if one existed?
i bet that Sun story's a load of bollocks as usual. you could just as easily speculate Rory's going to be killed off (again) in the cliffhanger or that Rose is coming back or Adric is or any bloody damn thing.
Not quite what I was suggesting...
Though on a more positive note, I wonder if it might not also have something to do with the move of studio- the second half will be moving to the new Drama Village which opens early next year.
I guess the future options are:
1)2012 gets the same split
2)2012 gets a normal BBC length season, i.e six episodes
3)2012 gets a regular 13 episodes starting in the autumn.
Either way I suspect we'll have seen the last of the separate Xmas specials. If I had to vote I think I'd say we're most likely to see option 3 but with the Xmas episode being a regular part of the run rather than a longer 14th episode.
Just instinct that makes me feel that way.
I wonder if GB is already filled with posts that the "game-changing cliffhanger" will be the revelation that Amy is a fobwatched Rani... That seems to be about all that that section of fandom is capable of imagining.
