ROUND-UP: Doctor Who Series 7 

What do we know?

Airdate

Other notes: It is still not clear if all 14 episodes will air in 2012. There has been conflicting info. Originally BBC Controller Danny Cohen said not all episodes will be shown, but Steven Moffat later seemingly denied that this was the case. In January, Moffat promised just at least 14 episodes, but didn’t specify when they would air.

Official Description

This series will see the last days of the Ponds with Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill returning for their final, rollercoaster voyage with the Doctor. Amy and Rory have been at the Doctor’s side for more than two series but what will he do after their heartbreaking departure?

Series 7 will then see a dramatic turn of events when The Doctor meets a new friend.

Prepare yourselves for thrills, adventures and dramatic surprises as the show builds towards its enormous, climactic 50th anniversary year. Fourteen big, blockbuster-movie episodes – each a brand new epic adventure featuring new monsters and some familiar foes as you’ve never seen them before.

Main Cast

  • Matt Smith – The Doctor
  • Karen Gillan – Amy (unspecified amount of episodes)
  • Arthur Darvill – Rory (unspecified amount of episodes)
  • TBC – New companion

Other notes: According to Moffat, “We’ll see a lot of Amy”, but both her and Rory will leave during the series in a “heartbreaking” way. Karen Gillan said that Amy dying is a possibility. Recently Gillan commented that she will appear in “a few episodes. A few really good episodes.”

We will see a new companion sometime during the series, but the role has not yet been cast. Moffat teased that the companion could be a “he, she or it.” Moffat later added: “The Doctor is going to meet someone very new in the very last place he could ever have expected…”

There are rumours that Sophia Myles is being lined up for next companion based on hints from Moffat and Myles on Twitter.

Returning Cast

Rumoured:

Guest Stars

Other notes: Moffat teased River’s return at the press screening of the Christmas special. Alex Kingston is rumoured to be filming scenes early on.

James Corden said he had discussed Craig’s return with Moffat and will do “everything in his power” to appear again.

John Simm was very enthusiastic about returning as the Master when asked about it on Twitter in January. The Express reported that Benedict Cumberbatch is being lined up to play the Master.

Monsters

Producer Marcus Wilson said that a couple of old classics from the 60′s and 70′s will return but will be “moved on a bit.” One of the rumoured monsters is revealed in this post. Caroline Skinner possibly hinted that the Zygons will be back.
