There will be 6 episodes this year, including the Xmas Special. Then 8 next year. Jenna’s character will first be seen at Xmas.
Steven Moffat “Amy & Rory will leave in a final encounter with the Weeping Angels in ep 5. Not everyone gets out alive and I mean it this time

March 22nd, 2012 - 6:40amI totally agree with Tardistik. Hopefully this will be the last time we see them. I think they are really clever monsters but i do also think that have been overused

March 22nd, 2012 - 6:13amIt’s great to hear the Angels are back!! It’s less than great to hear the Daleks ate back!

March 22nd, 2012 - 3:18amI acually disagree, yes if they were brought back they would be overused. But those were good episodes, and to new fans, these monsters are as iconic as the Cyberman, Yeti, or Daleks are they used to be. Also the crack closed so the Angels had nothing to defeat them. A mirror perhaps? Anyway if he shows them again, show the Angels that were in the timeline where there was no crack. I think Moffat ruined River abit through.

March 21st, 2012 - 10:24pmI think, by looking at the photo, she and Matt Smith will work good together as compaion and time lord. If you don’t agree please reply 🙂

March 21st, 2012 - 9:27pmThis has been a great day to be a Doctor Who fan!! I liked series 5, hated 6, and was getting a bit bored of Amy and Rory. I love the look of the new companion, made up the daleks are back (I hope they open 7) and quite like the schedule, the build up will be great. Plus next year will be soooo good, soo much boss dr who 🙂

March 21st, 2012 - 9:08pmi agree he ruined them in The time of angels and flesh and stone. the empty child was great because he left it at one story.

March 21st, 2012 - 8:46pmif she got a part in titanic she must be a good actress
TARDISTIK
March 21st, 2012 - 8:42pmI know they were Moffat’s creation and Blink possibly the story that made his name but maybe the Angels should have just stopped in Wester Drumlins. Its not that I don’t think they’re a good monster its just that I think they’ve been a bit overused and its said that Amy and Rory’s last story will be with them.
Sorry Moffat…
the astronaut of death
March 21st, 2012 - 8:42pmcan’t wait but i just wish for the series to be set out less confusing i would prefer it to be set out like series 5

March 21st, 2012 - 8:15pmExciting stuff!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
March 21st, 2012 - 8:14pmi have never heard of this girl. and in my doctor who stories i was gonna leave by getting touched by an angel too! i hope amy and rory don’t physically die though!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
March 21st, 2012 - 8:13pmthats what i think too

March 21st, 2012 - 7:03pmApparently Steven Moffat has confirmed that it will be the series after this that includes the 50th anniversary, although how it will work is of course completely unknown.
Although there is an advantage to this type of broadcasting, we can estimate that the show will be returning about the 17th of November.
Bigger on the Inside
March 21st, 2012 - 6:58pmi have a great theory (well i think it is anyway):
the weeping angels will send amy and rory back in time so they sort of die but not actually, like rose did
the astronaut of death
March 21st, 2012 - 6:49pmthis is off the subject a tiny bit .but i think the 11th doctor will regenerate in the 50th annerversery

March 21st, 2012 - 6:19pmi hope its susan it might be aswell as its the 50 year thing next year
the TARDIS
March 21st, 2012 - 6:19pmI know that most people want the Ponds to stay with us, but I do think that big, emotional exits are far more effective than just suddenly leaving at the end of an episode. Deaths are very effective – killing off Adric actually made people care about him, and with such popular companions as the Ponds would, if done well(which it will be, being written by Moffat) could be brilliant. My only problem would be it is a story mid-way through a series, which means we are not left on it for a long time to feel sad until the Doctor returns.

March 21st, 2012 - 6:15pmi know but at least half way through that gap we have go a xmas special
the TARDIS
March 21st, 2012 - 6:13pmNot happy. I know Moffat said that there would be no Who until autumn, but I reeeeaaally hoped that the theories about series 7 split over two years would come out false. You’ve let us down, BBC…

March 21st, 2012 - 6:03pmLook at the ‘Death’ of a character with Donna Noble: She didn’t really die it was the ‘Death’ of that personality. I wouldn’t get hung up on the ‘Death’ angle…
the astronaut of death
March 21st, 2012 - 5:37pmmaby she is a time lady
the astronaut of death
March 21st, 2012 - 5:36pmi think sothing is going to happen witch will make amy and rry not to do it anymore
Rooners
March 21st, 2012 - 5:25pmI thought the angels sent you back in time – to quote the Doctor..
“The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death.”
Nice thought though…suitably dark for my taste 🙂
