Alien vampires?
What? Do aliens get their blood sucked out by HUMAN vampires? Or are vampires alien?
The latter makes a bit sense.
I wonder if the Twilight vampires are aliens...probably not...
Let's try and see what information we can amass from this...
"16th century Venice", "Alien Vampires" = Vampires in Venice, obviously
1890s France = hmm... Vincent and the Doctor? The Gareth Roberts episode? (More likely it's Gareth; he's good at historical episodes).
It could be the Dreyfus Affair! It happened in the 1890s in France, and I can see why it's would be held under wraps, it's pretty political... but would Doctor Who "go there"?
Space UK = Possibly a one-off (could be Gareth Roberts) or maybe it's the setting for the finale?
Daleks in 1940s = Victory of the Daleks
Humanoid reptiles = Silurian two-parter
Weeping Angels = River Song two-parter (it seems)
Star Whale = likely a low-budget episode, maybe one that's Doctorcentric (or Doctor and Rorycentric). Could feature the TARDIS swallowed by an intergalactic whale (if so, sounds like something Simon Nye would do, possibly, considering it may be Doctor and Rory centric which fits well with Nye's past writing credentials)
Silent menace = this series' big villain? The one that Moffat said would appear in every episode?
Space Uk - My guess would be The Beast Below, makes sense based on the title.
I don't understand. Aren't they always an hour long?
"enigmatic" Amy Pond????
Wonder what that is about
Isn't The Beast Below the episode with the weird monks and maybe the creature that can take the shape of a TARDIS (as Moffat hinted at in his DWM interview)?
They're normally only a hour long because of commercials, the actual episode being 40-45 minutes.
Kendall, the episodes run time are usually 45-ish minutes. With commercials it takes up an hour. The Eleventh Hour run time will take up 60-ish minutes. 15 Minutes longer than usual.
The 2008-2010 specials have been quite longer than 45 minutes. ;)
eek! The Weeping Angels totally freaked me out the first time around! not again! :p
Seriously, looking forward to this series! Though I am still on the fence about the new doctor. I'll have to see how he does. I'm never one who likes change, LOL!
The silent menace that follows Amy and the Doctor around is the menacing monk, who is ment to be played by lee evans
Lee Evans has already played someone in the last year, and it was very clear Malcolm was no Time Lord.
River Song will appear in 2 stories; the first and final two-parters (episodes 4, 5, 12 & 13).
That's absolutely amazing. I'm so glad it's going to be THAT long! :)
I love Doctor Who, and I'm excited about this new season coming out-- but can they just get away from Daleks for a while? They were supposed to be destroyed, and then one showed up, then 5, then a whole bunch of 'em. I think the Doctor needs to find a way to finally destroy them for good, and then the writers can start working on a new, scarier foe.... and then bring the daleks back in a couple seasons. :) lol
