The Brilliant Book snippets

Thanks to Den of Geek, we have some info to share from The Brilliant Book 2012. Some spoilers below the cut!

In The Brilliant Book 2012, Moffat says that the reason for moving Doctor Who to a later time next year is due to the weather which has been affecting the ratings and viewership:

“The truth behind the delay next year is: why are we killing ourselves and risking compromising the show, in order to go out in the middle of summer? I’m sick of it. I’m sick of standing in the blazing sunshine, with a barbecue fork in my hand, knowing that Doctor Who is coming on any minute, six o’clock on a sunny Saturday is the middle of the afternoon, whereas six o’clock on a winter or autumn Saturday is dark and exciting!”

On whether or not Amy and Rory will return, Moffat said they won't be back for the Christmas special but they will be back next year (which was pretty much confirmed by Karen Gillan). River Song may come back, "but that's dependent on Alex Kingston." (YES PLEASE STEVE)

“Epic, huge, massive, indulgent… all your treats at once… I guarantee you it’s going to be the best year ever to be a Doctor Who fan. We’re going to be in production for longer than ever, just to do everything that we intend to do”.
