Doctor Who Christmas Preview Radio Times Cover
“I’m a different person who looks and sounds like Oswin”
Snow shrouds the Doctor Who Set, dusting a Dickensian street with a silvery shimmer while Matt Smith and a Sontaran chum rehearse and director Saul Metzstein scrutinises a monitor with the rapt attention of an expectant mum at a baby scan.
But another blanket also covers the proceedings that is much more perplexing: secrecy.
Fort Knox-style security always surrounds the making of Doctor Who – and no one is clearer than showrunner Steven Moffat that spoilers are so called for a reason – but his third Christmas episode, The Snowmen, warrants special measures.
Security is tight, confidentiality agreements are signed and RT has been warned that prematurely breathing a word of what we’re about to see may result in a big sleep with the fishes in Cardiff Bay.
Read the full article in this weeks Radio Times, out now.

December 4th, 2012 - 6:11pmThey bring them out earlier over the Christmas period, so That Snowman Over There is correct.

December 4th, 2012 - 6:03pmI doubt everyone hoped they where the same character.
Jenna is just going a Freema Agyeman. Playing 1 character [Adeola / Oswin Oswald] only to then come back as the latest companion [Martha Jone / Clara Oswin].
don’t diss the sonic
December 4th, 2012 - 5:55pmShe says that they’re two different characters even though everyone hoped they were the same but im sure Steven Moffat will not disapoint.

God i hope not. It is so unrealistic that that would ever happen in real life, apart from identical twins. Lazy, lazty storytelling. They should’ve got a different actress in.

December 2nd, 2012 - 6:23pmFailing getting a Doctor Who Chanel, Doctor Who could fill the slot soon to be available on BBC4 when they finish repeating Top of the Pops 1977 since it looks unlikely they will be showing episodes from 1978

December 2nd, 2012 - 3:45pmDoctor Who will last FOREVER 😀
During those dark days when Doctor Who was off the air for 16 years [16 years of PURE HELL !!!!], the Doctors adventures continued with continuing comic-strips, new novels, audio adventures and off course the not so liked 1996 TV Movie. The reason for why Doctor Who continued into those medias is because fan’s like us here on this site just would not let the good Doctor die 🙂
People kept Doctor Who alive during those dark times cos they had a strong gut feeling that one day he would return . . . . 2005 . . . . HE DID !!!!! 😀

December 2nd, 2012 - 8:55amIf you don’t love Doctor Who, then I think the simple question to ask is –
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ? !!!!!!!!!.
After all these years thou, and giving that Doctor Who is turning 50 next year, it would be fantastic for Doctor Who to have a TV channel 100% TOTALLY DEVOTED to nothing but DOCTOR WHO 😀
No other TV series in the world has a TV channel devoted to it. Doctor Who could be the first to have that honour 😀
