Next series of Doctor Who to be split transmission
From the BBC Press office…
The BBC and Steven Moffat have announced today that the transmission of the next series of Doctor Who, in 2011, will be split into two blocks, transmitting in spring and autumn.
The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc which involves a big plot twist in the middle of the series. By splitting the series Moffat plans to give viewers one of the most exciting Doctor Who cliffhangers and plot twists ever, leaving them waiting, on the edge of their seats, until the autumn to find out what happens.
Steven Moffat said: “The split series is hugely exciting because viewers will be treated to two premieres, two finales and more event episodes. For the kids it will never be more than a few months to the next Doctor Who! Easter, Autumn, Christmas!!”

I think it’s a stupid idea to split the series.
Posted by: Totty March 11th, 2011
LOOK .Matt won’t leave this year (maybe 2013). Amy and Rory ????? We may hear Rivers Story! Ok!!
I think its a good idea to split the series
Posted by: Intergalactic July 22nd, 2011
Why is it a good idea?
We have to be clinged on this “It’s me. I’m Melody. I’m your daughter” thing. From all we know, she could say “No, not really!” in the next scene! That’s the thing about Steven Moffat, he always comes up with the unexpected, mostly the not necessary unexpected.

i onestly think this will be fantastic as i hate having to wait til christmas for the next lot, jenny does need to come back but i think it should be in the last epiosode and she takes over from her dad (the dr) when are u lot planning on regenerating the doctor i no to people who are perfect for the job myself and my mate tom to be the doctor would be like saying the tardis in the corner of your idea may i just say whbo evers idea have custard and fish fingers was fantastic its the best tastes i cant get rid of it anyway i think something needs to happen a big clash in time not just a crack a black hole maybe, just thinking about it, i love thinking about the unknown the corner of ur eye hope ive helped

i think its a good idea beacase it represents the crack in amys wall
Posted by: Intergalactic July 22nd, 2011
It is the crack in Amy’s wall.

nice image it is so so so so so amazing
Posted by: Callum Metcalfe September 7th, 2010
I found this on DW wiki!
There are numerous rumours about Neil Gaimans story being set in a giant doll’s house this also seems more likely due to the previous title of his story being named “The House of Nothing”. There will also be another 2 earlier stories, one with an Egypt theme and another possibly set in an Ice Base.
Maybe the ice base is ice warriors?
Posted by: de379 September 7th, 2010
what dose steven moffat mean by 2 finales it would be a bit rubbish if
1 was in season 6 p1 and one in p2 it wouldent be a finale
it would be more of 1 parters
Posted by: hiddencrack September 6th, 2010
look at all the doctors (see all the doctors on wikipedia) dont you think the actor is younger everytime the doctor regenarates???
Posted by: hiddencrack September 6th, 2010
thing is , if series 6 is going to have two finales then the part 1 finale is going to be a 1 parter???

Romana will return. Rassilon’s mysteries will unfold. The silence will be deafening.
Posted by: JLC September 5th, 2010
The comments people have posted about it being ‘an outrage’ that Moffat decided to split it: is it not good that he’s done this? It means we get even more of Eleven’s brilliant madness, Amy’s sarcasm and Rory’s adorably dumb face. More amazing action from the new TARDIS and sonic screwdriver, more aliens, and less time to wait for it all! Stephen Moffat only has our interests in mind when he decided to split it. Don’t go all ‘OH MAH GAWD STEVEN MOFFAT IS SO STUPID HES TAKEN AWAY THAT REAL LONG WAIT THAT WE ALL LIEK HATED SO MUCH AND I HATE HIM SOO MUCH CUS HE REPLACED DAVIES AND IS HORRIBLE WRITER CUS HE MADE THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR EWWWW!!!!11!!1′ like i’ve heard quite recently from some people. Don’t forget, that genius man created the weeping angels, vashta nerada, Amy Pond, River Song, Rory Williams, the Eleventh Doctor and countless other characters. He even created Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey.
If you act like the given example, you are in no way a Whovian
Posted by: de379 September 4th, 2010
i read the cliffanger and it says amy will die i wonder what she dies of
it couldent be any normal way of dying maybye river song kills her too or maybye its an diffrent way of dying like donnas death and why do peaple hate rory i like the charecter rory literly and amys a great charecter i think river songs the rani but theres lots of secrets to hide in this seires and i think its gonna be bigger better than ever
season 5 was great but i dident like the beast below it was boring
i dident even know what it was about
Posted by: findabin September 4th, 2010
cant wait in sesion 2a river will be reveld and in seson 2b the silence will be revleled
Posted by: Nigel M September 4th, 2010
@Joe, “I think the doctor will regenerate into a woman on the first cliffhanger” – interesting thought. What if that woman was River Song and she was the Doctor all along ? What if that was what she meant by she “killed” the greatest man she ever knew ? It would explain how she knows so much about him and can fly the Tardis. Unlikely I know but…?
Posted by: Trial Timelord September 2nd, 2010
I think it will work better although non-whovians might forget the story arcs.
Posted by: de379 September 2nd, 2010
steven moffat is way better than russel t davis inleast steven dident think of little fat creatures and made robot androids that turn angry when you do something forbidden instead

Im not looking out for spoilers next series. You know what, my mate makes me find out spoilers for HIM! Im not going to find out spoilers for him this time
Posted by: … September 1st, 2010
A character is to be killed off;
I’m guessing Amy for a bigger cliffhanger,
Rory already died and no-one cared.
Posted by: Intergalactic July 22nd, 2011
Rory’s died so many times, and it’s just got boring. I just sit there thinking: “Just get up Rory, you’re not dead!”, so if Rory died, then it would be so, so boring. Amy might die, but that would be too confusing and catastrophic. River can’t die, because that will cause fans heads to explode, since she actually died in Forest of the Dead. The Doctor was the one who died, but we all hope that will be averted. Smith won’t live forever, but Doctor Who will!
Posted by: someone September 1st, 2010
he said he will stay for three series but it is unsure if he will do 2013.
Posted by: Andy Hall September 1st, 2010
There is no way that Matt will stay till 2013!!! Hes leaving after nxt year. I cant see him stopping for another 2 years!
Posted by: de379 September 1st, 2010
cmon steven moffat only wants to make a suprise anyway what story arcs have we had since 2005 that involve a twist amy will die thats auright amys a great companion but they can think of another one cant they doctor who will go on for ages from now it will be about 20 years time if they did finish the show theyd think about how a great show it was and start it again
Posted by: Joe September 1st, 2010
I think the doctor will regenerate into a woman on the first cliffhanger. As steven did say “you’ll need 3 months to recover from the Earth shattering cliffhanger!” Whatever it is, it will probably be a huge let down to us fans.
Posted by: Anonymous September 1st, 2010
“I think the doctor will die in the first cliff hanger”
matt smith has comfirmed he will stay till 2013 so that can’t be it

Was that a guess or are you psychic?
Posted by: the doctor’s adventures August 31st, 2010
It sounds good that Steven Moffat is splitting the series into a 2 part series I must admit I don’t care if the Daleks appear or not cause the new Daleks are not that good but the bronze Daleks I would rather see them we’ll just see what happens next year and I hope this years Christmas Special is exciting.
Posted by: doctor who mania 321 August 31st, 2010
Dalek Sec
the daleks are gonna be in series 6 (they might do) matt smith said a DWM interview it said the daleks are gonna have hats and beards. LOL!
Posted by: de379 August 31st, 2010
i think peaple are writeing great commennts that are gonna make other newcomers on this site wanna comment aswell seee youu sooon
Posted by: cyberdalek August 31st, 2010
Amy pond is to be killed off in the next series of Dr Who, BBC bosses have revealed. This may be the twist that will feature in the series 6 split.
Posted by: doctor who rocks August 31st, 2010
i think its a good idea because you don’t have to wait 6 mounths for another (christmas special)
Posted by: IWasBored August 31st, 2010
i fink its a good idea cos as Steven Moffat pointed out, ‘There will be two finales, to events so you don’t have to wait so long between the xmas episode and the main series, it’s great 4 the viewers!’ it’s a brill idea well done Steven MOFFat
Posted by: Dalek Sec August 31st, 2010
No Daleks on Series 6!
Posted by: dalek_lover August 31st, 2010
I am a huge fan of doctor who. and i hope that steven is reading this because that idea is pure stupidity. i prefer waiting 6 months for the xmas special because your more excited. this is an outrage
Posted by: cyberdalek August 30th, 2010
Steve Moffat has revealed that the next series of Dr who is unlikely to include a story featuring the Daleks. So far. This may change. He said “if there’s a story that comes up of which we can feature the daleks, then it will be used”. Will series 6 be as good without the Daleks. Of course it will.
Posted by: de379 August 30th, 2010
season 6 sounds great i will be in turkey as ive said and i will be going on a break till 23 sep 2010 but i will still be on here looking at the recent comments thingy checking for all your comments
so i will see you soon on the 23rd bye
Posted by: IWasBored! August 30th, 2010
jak, are you actually trying to critisize the Russell. T Davies on the creation of the Adipose and the Slitheen? RTD is the reason we use this website, so don’t insult his creations!
I think the Adipose are CUTE!
Posted by: IWasBored! August 30th, 2010
Hey, I’ve got an idea. What if the half-way finale involves the revelation of the identity of River Song, and, if we are to believe certain plot holes, the bit when she kills the Doctor!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: IWasBored! August 30th, 2010
Hey everybody! After a long summer break, IWasBored! is back, with more (hopefully) witty comments!
This is an odd idea for series 6, but me thinks that it may be a good idea! What a way to do a series, split it into two parts and leave us on a fantastic cliffhanger!!!!!!! And Doctor Who in two halves of the year!!!!!!!!! YOU JAMMY DODGER!!!!!!!!!!
If I like it, I lead the way for the fans to get the DW team to do this EVERY YEAR!
Posted by: AlphaOmega August 30th, 2010
A brilliant idea! I’ve liked most of Mofatt’s new ideas, including the finale, so It’ll be awsome to see what he comes up with next!
Posted by: doctorwhoforever August 30th, 2010
i don’t know what to think about this. Two series starts, two clifhangers, two bits of one series – two everything! It kinda
sound like a good idea but i’m gonna HATE having to wait for the
series to return. But if what i’ve heard about next series is right -
i’m pretty sure it is gonna be awsome! Aparently next year DW series episode three is gonna be called THE HOUSE OF NOTHING. I also heard it
may feature the return of Romana and K9! BRING ON SERIES 6!
Posted by: Andy Hall August 30th, 2010
Not sure on this idea of Moffats. A lot has changed since he took over and not all his ideas have worked. I think season 5 was far too fairy tale with a very poor finale. Maybe if the rumours are true about Matt leaving the programme, then the climax of the first half of season 6 will end with a regeneration. Would not be a surprise at all, according to the Sun and The Sunday Times a few weeks back that Matt will be moving to Hollywood after next year.
Maybe he is deciding to leave earlier than planned. We will see.

Sounds great to me. Always good to make appropriate changes, Doctor Who as a Series has already changed radicly from the Ened of Time on new years day 2009-2010, to the Eleventh Hour in April 10, the series has undergone an advancement, or an updation, or you may just call it another step during its evolution, change does not always necessarily mean improvement, unless ofcourse youre talking about me, Im busy thinken about how I should change, my whole approach to life has got to go, its time i REALISED i NEEDA DO THINGS WITH A PLAN IN MIND, AND AN OPEN MIND, READY TO ADAPT, READY TO GET SOME ACHIEVMENT. And I needa stop bein so sure of everything, I cant always rely on luck or fate, I gotta make ma own paths in laf. Ya know?
Posted by: whofan#1 August 30th, 2010
Moffat has come up with some good idears but this is one of the bast of them all he is a one in a kind writer.

Posted by: koolh August 30th, 2010
The only story arc that could cover this is the resolution as to who River Song really is . Anyway it will be epic!!!
Moffats best idea yet.
Posted by: Tom Ford August 30th, 2010
I like the idea of reducing the amount of time wating until more dr who on tv, but people seem to be forgetting that it will be in 2 short stints, so it will seem a little like 2009 special year which was fustrating. This idea is not good, especially as ‘beginning with’ which i have heard to do with this format means this is a permanent change. 2 finales also means less non-arc episodes.
Posted by: LOL August 30th, 2010
No autumn is reserved for other programs.

Posted by: Olly Taylor August 30th, 2010
i love this idea, i read that the cliffhanger is that amy dies
Posted by: OliLord August 30th, 2010
Think its a great idea, but dont like the idea of it being two separate series!!!
http://www.tardistravels.co.nr
Posted by: de379 August 30th, 2010
i now think this is a bit better coz he must have a big story arc to hide if the seires is gonna be split
and also because if we watch a normal seires of doctor who it only lasts a few weeks and then we have to wait months for the next seires
so ive changed my mind this is a brill idea
Posted by: pc August 30th, 2010
I know some people on here are saying this is a stupid idea, but think about how long we have to wait for the new series to be shown anyway so isn’t this going to be easier?
Personally i am warming to the idea and it will break up the year a lot better, not everyone is going to be happy with what is going to happen but they cannot please everyone can they?
Here’s to a great 2011!
Posted by: crazy fan August 30th, 2010
This is going to be fun with doctor who, torchwood and sarah jane and more DOCTOR WHO WOW.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Ray August 30th, 2010
Like it or hate it the decision is made so we will just have to see how it pans out. to be honest if we get doctor who / torchwood / doctor who /sja then the Christmas special it could be quite good.
Posted by: jak August 30th, 2010
if you call yourself a doctor who fan then you would watch the series, not loose interest and not care what the show producers do. at least steven moffat didn’t create stupid aliens that fart and are cute little squishy aliens.
Posted by: jak August 30th, 2010
i like this idea, i hope they make the adventure games next year to top of with torchwood. look its doctor who from March/April – May/June, a month or two then torchwood until September, then the same month or another month would mean doctor who and it may be overlapped with sja. and another month its xmas. this means we get to see the sci-fi series and its spin off series are all year round. i think if RTD didn’t make the spin-offs then this would not be happening – this system fits perfectly into the next spin-off. right now we have to wait 4 more months (started with 5 months) until xmas for one episode and a further 3 months for new doctor who. this way you are always 3 – 4 months away from new doctor who series.
Posted by: Callum Metcalfe August 30th, 2010
Go on normal wikipedia,type in Doctor Who,click on episodes,then scroll down to 2011 series and it says Daleks won’t be in any of the 13 episodes

Posted by: OliLord August 30th, 2010
I think Steven Moffat is brilliant! He comes he make the series fantastic and changes it to make it even more fantastic! I think this is a great idea and Im interested to see how it will work!
Posted by: Lojac August 29th, 2010
yeah that would save the DR a multi DR story with Matt S David T and Chris E
Posted by: Lojac August 29th, 2010
Bring back RTD please
Posted by: alfie August 29th, 2010
Thats fantastic! 7 episodes, two premieres and two finales, its like two seasons packed into one, I cant wait for the twist in episode 7 and the finale, this is going to be even better than Series 5.
Posted by: Doctor Lou August 29th, 2010
Wo! Cool Beans! I carn’t wait! I hope its 14 eps in total then! But that will be awesome!
Posted by: TC August 29th, 2010
I’m warming up more to this idea, because I do hate the very long breaks between the end of the season to Christmas, then Christmas to the next season. By splitting it up, we have a more even spread and less time to wait in between. There are some series here in the US that do the same thing, with a “summer finale” then a short wait til the remaining episodes.
Posted by: docandk9 August 29th, 2010
This is brilliant! Two (as such) seasons of Doctor Who, Torchwood S4, and The Sarah-Jane Adventures S5!
Posted by: CG August 29th, 2010
Well we all moan when we have a 13 week run then it is over. What is the man thinking of doing a 7 week run then a break then only 6!!!!!
Doctor Who is an ESTABLISHED format now, i felt the year of the specials was to little and to long a wait between some.
RTD is more passionite about WHO then Moffat will ever be. Moffat is intent on ruining the show just look at how much he changed for change sake.
Posted by: DW #1 Fan August 29th, 2010
I really like this idea of the split because you only have to wait the whole of summer to watch Doctor Who again in the autumn and find out what happens next. And the only wait 1 or 2 months until the xmas special.
And because of the spead out format it will seem like there are more episodes of Doctor Who.
Posted by: 1 August 29th, 2010
I want this to happen when david wanted to leave. I wanted him to leave mid series then the other half matt
Posted by: Callum Metcalfe August 29th, 2010
This will be good for the figures aswell cos they can have a wave for each split.Also the second part will be around halloween,which will be brill
Posted by: Callum Metcalfe August 29th, 2010
It says on the msn homepage that 7 episodes will be in spring and 6 in autumn
Posted by: Zygon134 August 29th, 2010
i’m gessin the first half will have 7 episodes and the second will have 6 to keep the tradition of a total of 13 episodes

I quite like the idea of watching Dr Who in the dark autumn evenings again< ahhh takes me back to me youth
Posted by: Random August 29th, 2010
THIS IS A FANTASTIC IDEA BECAUSE WE WONT HAVE LONG TO WAIT UNTILL XMAS
Posted by: jak August 29th, 2010
people said that this woud loose ratings, first people say move the show to autumn would improve ratings, it is good for just a 3/4 month wait and we still get 13 episodes + 1 special a year. “OHH!! I am not watching because i will loose interest”. If you are doctor who fans and like the series not because of the doctor, companions etc but because of the well written drama and innovative idea of travelling through time then watch the show. This is much better since you have to wait 3/4 months for doctor who – in that time you can watch stuff like the new torchwood (2011), sherlock bbc, and sarah jane adventures. now currently we have to wait 5 months to watch the xmas special (now 4 months) and a further 3 months for the new doctor who series. with this you watch in easter wait 3/4 months then more doctor who, about 2 months for xmas and the pattern starts again.
AT LEAST WE HAVE DOCTOR WHO and do have to wait another 16 years for doctor who to appear in our screens.
Posted by: who crazy! August 29th, 2010
Good idea would be even better if they gave us more episodes as well!
I thought they were having more episodes
Posted by: TOMMY August 29th, 2010
Am A Very Big Fan Of Doctor Who And Will All Ways Be…
Yes He Made Doctor Who His Own, But In The End It His Job And It All Works Out In The End…
If People Whom Say They Are Fan And Watch It I For One Would Say That There Know Going To Loose Interest…
Also At The End Of The Day How Many Doctor Who Fans Don’t Re-play Doctor Who Ep And Also I Would Say That BBC 3 Would Play Them All Again Like They Do When There Is A New Series Of Doctor Who Coming…
So I Would Say Lets Just Wait And See What Hes Going To Do Next Because It Seem One Hell Of A Story…
BOYFORNOW
**TOMMY**
Go Mr Moffat Go…
Posted by: blob blob August 29th, 2010
Well i think they should do around 20 episodes a year, they manage to do more than that in the sixties
Posted by: de379 August 29th, 2010
im good at running so id be good as the doctors companion
Posted by: booboo August 29th, 2010
Most Dramas only get 6-8 episodes, i doubt it would even be possible to film any more than 13 episodes in a year, it would simply be to much for the lead cast.
Posted by: de379 August 29th, 2010
i agree with niss probably 20 or 30 episodes would do
Posted by: niss August 29th, 2010
doctor who is ace but it needs more episodes so i agree with rich evens it doesent have enough theres only 13 and then you have to wait ages just to watch one episode and thats just one at chrismas and then you have wait ages just to watch another season wich is short

i suppose there is three story lines to answer the cracks and the silence and the tardis collision
Posted by: Doctor Who Fan 1 August 29th, 2010
who cares if 6 episodes will be out in the spring and the others in the autumn that all that matters that there are 13 episodes and when autumn series ends the less longer we’ll have to wait til christmas
Posted by: Simon August 29th, 2010
Well done Mr Moff! Great idea, why didn’t RTD think of this sooner? Oh yeah, cos it was just a job to him. Thankfully the show means more to Steven…
Posted by: drmjmorgan August 29th, 2010
WHAT THE HELL !!!!!!!!
THIS IS STUPID
WE HAVE TO WAIT LONG ENOUGH FOR THE SERIES TO START BUT TO WATCH 6 EPISODES AND THEN WAIT HALF A YEAR FOR THE REST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Kelvin August 29th, 2010
I think this idea is ridiculous i hate waiting as it is and futher more i would like it to be aired like eastenders but i assume they would not have the funds and time but still it would be great also a spin off with the 10th Doctor in the parallel world with rose.
Posted by: Joe August 29th, 2010
This is a ridiculous idea. Moffat has ruined the show with all his selfish ideas and his predictable story lines. ITS POINTLESS. Please, BBC, sack Mr Moffat, and get another writer. This idea will lose fans, and make the ratings drop… Bad move, Steven.
Posted by: Dalek ironside August 29th, 2010
It might work, we will have to wait and see, its going to be long wait so i hope people don’t loose interest
Posted by: doctor who August 29th, 2010
i dont like the idea,becouse it means that doctor who which has already received ppor ratings this year,will be up against x factor and tv burp,plus i hope that the cliffhanger isnt smillar to the stolen earth,becouse a matt cant leave that early and b i would prefer an open ended one where its all nice and then the tardis crashes down suddenly, at least it leaves speculation,plus i hope there is a multi doctor story sometime soon..

I don’t like the idea of a split mid series as all the tension and drama that had built up to that point will be forgotten by the end of the Summer! Bad move Moff…

nice idea but it could mean that the series will then be moved to the autumn the following year, which is where I think Doctor Who should be shown

I have to say I’m in 2 minds about this move. It HAS to be the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers to hold the audience interest and bring them back for the 2nd 1/2 of the season. I’m just not sure that is acheiveable ?
That said, this does at least bring 1/2 the season back to where Dr Who SHOULD be…those DARK AUTUMN Saturday nights ! This is something Dr Who has been missing since its return !

I think this is a rubbish idea. Doctor Who fans will have nothing to look forward to. If it only goes up to episode 7 people will loose the plot and also loose interest. I think Steven Moffat has made a silly mistake and will loose a lot of Doctor Who Fans.

Hm, I am not so sure on the idea :/

I actually like the idea of this, although if its a really brilliant cliff hanger the wait could be unbearable.

Good idea would be even better if they gave us more episodes as well!
