'Doctor Who' finale will change the show forever, says Steven Moffat

Doctor Who's Steven Moffat has revealed new details about series finale 'The Name of the Doctor'.

The upcoming episode will introduce a new menace to the BBC sci-fi series, known as The Whispermen.

"Having brought back two of the classics, the Ice Warriors and the Cybermen, this year we wanted a brand new monster to create chills in the finale," Moffat said.

"And the thought of stylish, whispering, almost faceless creatures was an idea that firstly scared me and that I thought would work well in an episode that looks forward and back."

The showrunner also promised that 'The Name of the Doctor' will "change the course of Who forever".

"It's full of surprises and questions that have never been answered in the history of Who, including the Doctor's greatest secret," Moffat claimed.

"We'll also find out what makes his new companion [Clara, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman] so impossible and there's a surprise that no-one has got right so far."

Coleman previously appeared on Doctor Who as space-faring Oswin and Victorian governess Clara, with the Doctor attempting to unravel the mystery of her multiple identities in recent episodes.

Hinting at what to expect from the finale, Coleman teased: "All I can say is that Clara hasn't just met the Doctor three times before."

Christopher Eccleston to feature in Doctor Who

Christopher Eccleston will feature in upcoming 'Doctor Who' episode 'Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS', when the Ninth Doctor's voice is heard as a space crew try and break into the TARDIS.

Christopher Eccleston is returning to 'Doctor Who' - as a voice from the past.

The 49-year-old actor was rumoured to be coming back for the sci-fi show's 50th anniversary episode in November but decided not to reprise his role as the Ninth Doctor.

However, he will feature in next week's episode 'Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS', which focuses on a spaceship salvage team which captures the TARDIS.

As they try and break into the time-travelling machine viewers will hear the Ninth Doctor's voice say, "The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through these doors, and believe me they've tried."

It is a line from 'Rose', which was the first episode of the new run of 'Doctor Who' which began in 2005 and starred Billie Piper as the Time Lord's companion Rose Tyler.

It was revealed that Christopher had met with showrunner Steven Moffat to discuss the possibility of returning for the 50th anniversary special alongside Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and Tenth Doctor David Tennant.

However, he ultimately decided not to come back for the feature-length adventure, which will also feature Billie and current companion Jenna-Louise Coleman.

A spokesperson for the BBC previously said: "Chris met with Steven Moffat a couple of times to talk about Steven's plans for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode. After careful thought, Chris decided not to be in the episode. He wishes the team all the best."

Jenna-Louise Coleman teases 'spine-tingling' Doctor Who Finale

Jenna-Louise Coleman has hinted that Doctor Who's series seven finale will be 'spine-tingling'.

The as-yet unnamed episode has been penned by Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and is expected to lead into the 50th anniversary special.

Do Not Read on if you do not want any spoilers!

Coleman has now revealed that one of the major reveals in the season finale will be why the Victorian-era version of Clara's birthday is November 23, the same day that Doctor Who premiered in 1963.

"In the Christmas episode, I didn't know why that was the case. But again, we will find out by the end of this series," she told TV Guide.

The actress added of the finale: "It's really exciting - [it] is phenomenal. My spine was tingling when I read it.
"Again, I'm teasing you so badly here, but there's the beginning opening sequence, which [is] kind of building up into the 50th. It's just huge."

Coleman also opened up about the very first time she walked onto the new TARDIS set while filming last year's Christmas episode 'The Snowmen'.

"It was strange because obviously it was a brand-new TARDIS, so it was a set that nobody's ever used before or seen before at this point," the star recalled. "But this is where you're going to be for however many [of] the next couple of seasons or years, so it's like mine and Matt's new place."

She went on to say: "For him, he was running up and down all the stairs like a giddy kid who got his toy back. We didn't actually have the TARDIS for the first four months of me shooting because it was still being built.

"So it was pushed away in a dark corner and cordoned off so nobody could go in and look at it."
Coleman previously admitted that landing a role on Doctor Who was the first job that has impressed her family and has called the series a "mad" adventure.

Doctor Who continues this weekend with the Mark Gatiss-penned 'Cold War', which features the return of iconic monsters the Ice Warriors.

The series airs on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

Doctor Who: series 7 Casting News

Three new names have been added to the guest cast for Doctor Who's seventh series...
Courtesy of tomorrow's edition of Doctor Who Magazine comes news of three guest cast members appearing opposite Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman in series 7. Those names? Jessica Raine, David Warner, and Liam Cunningham.

Raine, who was most recently seen as lead Jenny Lee in BBC drama Call The Midwife, will be popping up alongside Mission: Impossible II and Desperate Housewives' Dougray Scott in the Neil Cross-penned episode, which has already been filmed. Cross has migrated to Who from Luther and Spooks, and this episode marks his debut on the show.

David Warner, who's been in all sort of geek fare over the years from Tron to Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, and more than one iteration of Star Trek, is to co-star with Game of Thrones' Liam Cunningham in Mark Gatiss' historical episode, the script for which Blogtor Who informs us has been teased to include the words "meat", "klaxon" and "Vienna". There, now with those three words to go on, how can we complain that Who's creators never reveal anything?

Doctor Who News: Series 7 Confirmed!

The BBC has ordered a further series of Doctor Who, and Matt Smith will be reprising the role of the Doctor for it. Details here...

Published on Jun 8, 2011

As we settle into the mid-season break for Doctor Who series 6, the BBC has confirmed some news that should make the wait a little more bearable. And it's this: there are fourteen more episodes of Doctor Who definitely on the way, once series 6 has finished later this year.

Those fourteen episodes, we're assuming, will take in the usual Christmas special, and a thirteen-episode run next year. We're guessing that the BBC and production team will opt for the mid-series split once more, although that hasn't been confirmed.

What has been, though, is that Matt Smith will be returning for the full fourteen-episode run. Given the speculation last year that he would be walking away from the series at the end of the second series, which all involved denied, this should prevent the same thing happening again.

That said, whether he'll reprise the role of the Doctor for series eight in 2013 is, no doubt, more open to doubt. One year at a time, though.

More interestingly, there's the issue of who will be joining the Doctor on his travels. We'd be surprised if we get three straight years of the Doctor, Amy and Rory in the Tardis, and were we betting people, we'd suggest that a new companion may be thrown into the mix for next year.
