Collecting the known knowns, the known unknowns, an unknown unknown, and some speculation about the future of Series 7 of Doctor Who, known-known to air in 2012 and 2013.
Steven Manfred's (www.doctorwhodvdfaq.com) anonymously-sourced speculation on the Series 7 schedule was posted to the Gallifrey Base forums on June 18 in the Transmissions-"Doctor Who in 2012 [Mega Merged] Part 2" thread, post #972.
Stuart Ian Burns's excellent blog is at feelinglistless.blogspot.com.
This is an expensive show – but also a huge revenue driver worldwide. There is no way that they would do ANYTHING to risk that. I think the speculation around an Autumn 2012, Christmas Special and Spring 2013 is REALLY likely. BBC America can work around this. It's less than a year w/o fresh Who programming, but I think they can manage. I think it's Who fans that will have issue with this – and that may be more scary than a co-producer network. Just my opinion.
