Officially no series 8 in 2013

[DWF]

New Who Series 2 is a real lowpoint. Only one episode I'd ever want to rewatch. Life's too short for New Earth, Age of Steel, Fear Her and Army of Ghosts. If that's hitting the ground running then I'd hate to see him stumble.

*looks at Planet of the Dead*

Aaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh.

Compared to Victory Of The Daleks, the Silurian two parter and The Lodger?

The Lodger is a fucking awesome episode.

 

[DWF]

The Doctor acted like an idiot in The Lodger, he'd spent more than three years living on earth an yet he did seem to know how greet a person. The Lodger was a mess of a story.

It was the Tardis that made him disorientated as it was doing the glitching it's a mind link thing.

I think it is mostly that he was overthinking it because he wanted to try to pass as 'normal'. Either way, I liked it and the follow-up a lot just because they were good excuses for Smith being wacky.

I've really had a hard time getting into Matt Smith.

I'm so immature but I did snigger at that.

The quote isn't sourced, but Blogtor Who is reporting that Jenna-Louise Coleman claims there's a filming gap until series 8. Her reason does make sense of the recent hand-smacking the Benedict Cumberbatch received for saying that there will be a Sherlock series 4; it could be that Moffat and Gatiss intend to film Sherlock 4 this year as well.

However, it's also an odd quote that's devoid of context, so she may not have meant what the headline claims she meant.

Isn't series 8 proper filming from September for a Spring premiere? ISTR hearing somewhere that it was April/May for the anniversary filming, July for Xmas, then Sept-onwards for series 8.

Nope. September is the Xmas Special. Matt Smith will be in 'beautiful' Detroit from May to August. There's absolutely no word on when Series 8 will shoot.

It'll be following directly from the Xmas special then.

Moffat sort of discussing the end of his time on Who but as usual does not reveal much:
