Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in 'The God Complex'
Big news is rolling out on the upcoming season of Doctor Who: shooting will commence on February 20, BBC’s Doctor Who website has announced. The first director will be Saul Metzstein (Upstairs Downstairs), with executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat joining new EP Caroline Skinner and producer Marcus Wilson on the production team.
The show will also be getting some new digs: the new series will be produced at the BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff, set to officially open in March.
Writers for the new season have been confirmed. Toby Whithouse — the brains behind the original UK Being Human and the well-received Who episodes “School Reunion,” “The Vampires of Venice,” and “The God Complex” — will contribute once again. Meanwhile, Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall will also join this year’s writing team. He has previously written the episodes “42″ and the two parter “The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood.”
The new season of Who will be a momentous one: as we know, Karen Gillan (Amy) and Arthur Darvill (Rory) are set to make their final voyage in the TARDIS this season, and the Doctor (Matt Smith) is set to meet a “new friend.” And with the 50th anniversary looming in 2013, there are sure to be many surprises to come.
What are you most looking forward to in the new season?

As said in another comment for donna to somehow get her memory back and get the 10th doctor back in…even if it has to be the one who is with rose. I can dream…
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING DR WHO LONG ON ABOUT 50 OR SO YEARS; WHEN I COULD CATCH IT. BUT THE LAST 3 OR 4 SEASONS SUCK. THOSE TWO B—— HAVE TOTALLY RUIN THE SHOW. I HOPE TO HELL THAT THEY KILL THEM OFF COMPLETELY & BRING SOME LOGIC BACK TO THE SHOW. I THOUGHT THE NAME OF THEW SHOW WAS “DR WHO: NOT “WHINY CRYING S—S , INC”. IF THEY CONTINUE WITH THIS WAY OF THE SHOW THEN IT WILL GO DOWN THE DRAIN LIKE THE OLD ONE. WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ON THE SHOW BECOME MORE IMPORTANT THEN ” THE DR ” THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE THE SHOW TO THE TRASH HEAP.. I WILL NOT WATCH THE TOTAL WASTE OF A SHOW IF IT CONTINUES LIKE THIS LAST SEASONS.
I just wish BBC-A would recognize that shifting times on Dr Who every few weeks means losing viewers and antagonizing the ones not lost. I am not pleased to turn on BBC-A ast a time when the Dr was airing and see junk like top gear.
And if we are running repeats, why just the last three doctors? I’ld love to see Pertwee or McCoy or one of the Bakers that have not aired in years rather than something I saw in the last few months
My personal choice for a 50th Anniversary would be, besides a multi story arc of the 8th and the Time War before regeneration, would be if the show had the proper ending to River with the Doctor saying goodbye, handing her his screwdriver, and crying.. but then an idea. Then we see he went back to the library and we watch the end of that episode where she sacrifices herself and 10 saves her to the harddrive. You’ll think it’s just a flashback giving homage to her character.. but then a new scene and after 10 snaps his fingers and walks into the TARDIS the 11th Doctor is standing in there. Tennant could smile, knowing. A quick exchange and 10 says something like “is she worth it all? dying so I become you?” 11 says like “spoilers” or some short but sweet line and rushes off to save her. I don’t know.
I would love to see old companions come back, like Jenny and Christina. Especially Christina, she should have been brought into the 11th doctor’s series. A resolution with Donna’s memory would be good thing to wrap up also.
I just can not wait to see Matt smith again i think is the best Dr since
Tom Baker!
Would love love love to see some of the old companions; Rose, Donna, Jack especially. I sure do missthe 10th doctor and the feel he gave to it…. you were sucked in.. it was a part of you.
i love the show and i have bin watching it since i was little and i was so excited when they brought it back and all the doctors r awesome but they have not touched on a lot of stuff like who controlled the tardis in big bang theory and what about the doctors daughter when him and martha went to that planet they left that wide open but i enjoy every episode good or bad
i think they should do a movie like the old movie the 5 doctors something like that bring all dr. together
On pins and needles waiting for the new Dr. Who season. I do not think the end of the Ponds are forthcoming. They will just be set aside while THE Dr. goes out on his own for awhile. After all, he does love their daughter and at one time they were supposed to be married. So, the Ponds will not be gone long. Dr. Who will find new adventures and see old ones once again in the new seasons. Just remember He never leaves his friends forever! When is the Season going to start?
It would be nice you made your own Theme but the idea is ok, you should have focused on different companies not only BlueHost.
Does any one know when the new Doctor Who season is set to air?
Know what steam punk (of course you do!) Well there is this performer called Professor Elemental…he’s a steampunk rapper. You may think weird, but it works. And, after all, isn’t steam punk a “creative anachronism”? I think the character Professor Elemental has some potential as a (the) subject of an episode. Perhaps…a music “professor” extracted from his own time? Anyone out there have Moffat’s ear? Let him know would’ya? And get those new episodes rolling…I am way past ready!
2 words..: doctors daughter..
when will the next season of Dr. Who air, since filming started in Feb. 2012 the new season should be starting soon shouldn’t it? When will the actual first episode be airing, will it be sometime in 2012 or do I have to wait all the way into 2013? Please let me know, I want to make sure that I will be home to watch it. Please, Please let me know when the new seasons first episode will air.
Thank you,
Agnes
