No full Doctor Who Series for 2012 – update
No full 2012 Doctor Who series
From Steven Moffat via twitter…
Dr Who: misquotes and misunderstandings. But I’m not being bounced into announcing the cool stuff before we’re ready. Hush, and patience.
lizo_mzimba said via his twitter feed that “There will not be a full series of Dr Who in 2012! BBC confirms that BBC One Controller said this earlier today”
The news was originally revealed by Wayne Clarke who was at a conference where Danny Cohen was speaking.
This may mean that although 14 new episodes are to be made, they may be spread over 2 years. This may be nothing more than a build up to 2013, the shows 50th anniversary.
He also said: “Worth repeating, BBC says Danny Cohen’s comment that Steven Moffat needed time for Sherlock hence shorter DW run wasn’t meant to be serious.”
later adding “Bit of confusion, to summarise: no FULL 13 episode series of Dr Who in 2012. So some episodes will still go out in 2012. Remainder in 2013.”

April 27th, 2012 - 9:35amif steven moffat wants yo focus on sherlock thats fine because i am a big fan of that too. however, if that is the case then he needs to step down as head writer of Doctor Who. honestly his writing has been doing down since he began over-using perception filters in series 5. He should not let DW rot just because in his mind sherlock takes priority, thats not the case with the fans and i imagine its not the case with the rest of the DW production team
