Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and actress Karen Gillan have been speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. There wasn't much to report from their Q&A, except the surprising reveal that series 6 will be split in two...Steven Moffat:
"What this show needs is a big event in the middle. We do 13 episodes, which is two series worth, so this year we're going to make it two series. It will come back for seven episodes at Easter, build to an Earth-shattering climax... honestly, a gamechanging event for Amy, The Doctor and Rory. The split series is hugely exciting because viewers will be treated to two premieres, two finales and more event episodes. For the kids it will never be more than a few months to the next Doctor Who! Easter, Autumn, Christmas!"The BBC's statement:
"The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc which involves a big plot twist in the middle of the series. By splitting the series Moffat plans to give viewers one of the most exciting Doctor Who cliffhangers and plot twists ever, leaving them waiting, on the edge of their seats, until the autumn to find out what happens."How do you feel about this? Seven episodes starting in Easter, a mid-series cliffhanger, and then the remaining six episodes in Autumn? Will fans hate being faced with a summer hiatus halfway through? Maybe this will be a good thing, in that the production won't have to be as rushed if they know they have a break in the middle? And we'll likely adjust to having Doctor Who spread more evenly throughout the year, right?
