Doctor Who
Episode eleven is reportedly the one currently filming at a Welsh manor —
not the Christmas special, as originally suggested — and one fan watching
the set claims to have heard the name of the new companion played by
Jenna-Louise Coleman. It's reportedly Clara, although it's unknown if she
also has a last name, what with there being some totally unsubstantiated
rumors that she's playing a human-looking alien who might not have need for
surnames.


Steven Moffat discusses the impact of Coleman joining the show:

It's just very exciting. When a new companion comes in it sort of reboots the
show a little bit, it makes you look at the Doctor differently, it makes the
show feel different, that's already happening. It's literally a new
beginning, you're back to chapter one, in a way it's always a story of
someone getting to know the Doctor, and now it's Jenna's character. There's a
lot of ways (her character) will be different, but I'm not telling you what
they are! Jenna is just wonderful and spiky and salty and clever: again -
just as Doctor Who always does - it becomes a different show, and I'm
thrilled with her, everyone's going to be.

He also assures everyone who will listen that the show's long-term prospects
are just fine:

You're not getting shorter and shorter seasons, we're just splitting it over
Christmas; we're making the same number of episodes as usual - I can tell by
the grey hairs on my head - but we delayed it a few months to start it later
in the year, that's all that's happened. There's no chance of the BBC giving
up on Doctor Who: it's a huge money spinner, it's doing better than ever
abroad, the global number of people watching Doctor Who has just gone up and
up and up, it was the most downloaded show on American iTunes last year - not
a chance of the BBC giving up on Doctor Who, not at all.


Elsewhere, he discusses further the show's new transmission schedule, which
splits the series between the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013:

"I've been well up for anything that we can do to shake up the transmission
pattern, the way we deliver it to the audience and how long we [make] the
audience wait, simply because that makes Doctor Who an event piece."

給 end 的人整理:

1. 新伴侶應該叫做 Clara 但是姓還未知

2. 擔保 BBC 不會放棄 DW 而且每季的集數也不會變少

3. 第七季會由聖誕節特輯切為前後兩半橫跨 2012 到 2013

as it always has, rock crushes scissors."
