More Doctor Who Series 6 Details
<
Piers Wenger, executive producer of Doctor Who, was recently interviewed by Crave Online and gave some tidbits regarding the upcoming Series Six. Among other details, Wenger mentioned the DVD branding for the upcoming series will probably have everything labeled Series Six although the production staff is treating each half as a separate series. Wenger also noted the return of Toby Whithouse, creator of Being Human and author of The Vampires of Venice last series, who will be penning an episode. Likely precluding the Daleks coming back, a first for any series since the show’s return in 2005, Wenger also said there will be no classic Doctor Who monsters returning in the upcoming series.
Other items get discussed, such as the mystery of River Song, the impact of Amy and Rory’s marriage, consideration of having Paul McGann return and the possibility of more overseas filming. Read the full interview here.]]>
SPACE To Air Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol on December 26
<
SPACE, the home of Doctor Who in Canada, has announced that Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol will air on Sunday, December 26 at 9pm ET – one day after the BBC will air it in the UK and the American premiere of the 2010 Christmas Special on BBC America. While not matching the day-and-date airing of BBC America, the one day delay is the quickest turnaround of a Canadian broadcast since The End of Time, Part Two aired on January 2, 2010, a day after it aired in the UK. Listen to the upcoming Radio Free Skaro episode #226 this weekend to hear The Three Who Rule’s take on this news.]]>

Matt Smith On The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson
<
As we at Radio Free Skaro first discussed earlier this year, Matthew Graham has indeed been confirmed as a writer for Series 6. Doctor Who Magazine 428 reports that Graham will be penning episodes 5 & 6, which comprise a two-part story.
On a (likely) related note, Doctor Who Spoilers is reporting the casting of Sarah Smart for an upcoming two-parter to be directed by Julian Simpson. The first filming block comprising episodes 3 & 4 has wrapped and the current filming block comprising Episodes 1 & 2 is underway, and currently filming in America, so we anticipate episodes 5 & 6 to comprise the next filming block. (UPDATE: Graham has himself confirmed this on Twitter.)
Graham, whose previous Doctor Who credit is 2006’s Fear Her has also had great success with Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. While Fear Her may not be a lauded classic for most, having Graham on the Series 6 writing team definitely excites the Three Who Rule!]]>
