Who News: New Writer, Companion Details Revealed

More juicy details on Series Seven arrive from DWM and filming snippets!
There's just a couple of a months left now until Doctor Who returns to our screens, and so in the midst of the rising anticipation more and more details on the upcoming seventh season are trickling out. This week, we've discovered from DWM that Neil Cross- the creator of hit BBC drama Luther- will pen an episode of the early 2013 eight-episode run that begins to build towards the fiftieth anniversary. Cross is a newcomer to the world of science-fiction, and thus it should be interesting to see an 'outsider''s take on the Whoniverse. If we take the rough confirmed list of writers for Series Seven, then we can begin to map out a guide of sorts to the season as a whole, which I'll put at the bottom of the post. Another detail that's seeped out from filming is that Jenna-Louise Coleman's new companion character is alledgedly named Clara. There is speculation that Clara is actually an alien- could it be that she adopts this name as a human guise...? Doctor Who returns in September. Here's the preview guide to what we know so far...
EPISODE ONE: ASYLUM OF THE DALEKS- Steven Moffat (September 8th, 2012)
EPISODE TWO: DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP- Chris Chibnall (September 15th)
EPISODE THREE: THE GUNSLINGER- Toby Whithouse (September 22nd)
EPISODE FOUR: CUBED- Chris Chibnall (September 29th)
EPISODE FIVE: WEEPING ANGELS RETURN/POND FINALE- Steven Moffat (October 6th)
EPISODE SIX: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL- Steven Moffat (December 25th)
Those six episodes are confirmed bar specific dates, the next eight are more guesses.
EPISODE SEVEN- Steven Moffat (March 30th, 2013)
