Talk:Series 6 (Doctor Who)

2011 Christmas special
Don't jump the gun, folks. I just removed a comment "presuming a 2011 Christmas special". Aside from being waaaaay premature, if such a special is announced, it will be part of Series 7, just as the 2010 special was announced in the context of it being Series 6. If it's handled differently (as was Series 4 which actually saw two Christmas specials filmed during its production schedule) we'll know in due course. But the production of the 2010 special hasn't even begun yet. 23skidoo 18:59, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Karen Gillan
Though I can't see all of it due to subscription lock, this source claims she is back next series and it appears to be reputable.--Golden Monkey 19:48, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

2010 Christmas Special
Why is the information about the 2010 Christmas Special on this page. In the past the Christmas Specials have always been classed to the previous series. Therefore this needs to be removed and be placed on Series 5. -- Michael Downey 21:38, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure I follow you, here. Christmas specials are the beginning of the new series. 2005 is the start of 2006 series; 2006 the beginning of the 2007 series, and so on, with the 2009 specials being a bit of an oddity. From a production standpoint, all but the 2008 special have been filmed after a hiatus, so they're clearly not a part of the previous series in terms of production. In terms of marketing, they've all been in the box set of the next year's stories. And it will be no different with the 2010 special. It's not going to be on the series 5 box set, which will clearly come out before the special is even made.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 01:19, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Jonathan Ross
There was an interview with Matt Smith on the Jonathan Ross show, and he revealed info about the series. I can't remember it though, so somebody'll have to look it up on BBC iPlayer, because Episode 6 was revealed. 17:36, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

unconfirmed cast
If it's unconfirmed - why have it in the article? 188.221.79.22 19:32, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Series numbering
Moffat's made it very clear that this is not series 6, period. The internal production numbering will be "2". Maybe we should stick with "32".

The reason he made is clear that this isn't season 6 is because he was afraid of losing big name sponsors, who are usually put off by a season 6 kind of thing. Nobody's really sure how to refer to it yet. Or at least, BBC isn't. Musedae 19:50, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
