Who News: First Episode 7 Hints Arrive

How does Oswin Oswald survive her fate? We may have the first clues...
With production on the Pond era now of course fully completed, the Doctor Who team have moved onto the second half of Series Seven, set to air in 2013. This block of eight new adventures introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as the new companion, whose identity remains something of a secret after her previously portrayed character died as a Dalek back in Episode One. Doctor Who TV has recieved the first hints of Oswin's fate from filming on the first episode of the 2013 run (Episode 7, with this year's Christmas Special being Episode 6), though, so I thought I'd recap them here.

In essence, it is believed that the new companion Oswin may have been split into fragments across time, as while we see Jenna-Louise in a Victorian dress of that era in the trailer for this year's Christmas Special, the 2013 opener looks to be set in the present day with a character played by Jenna-Louise who shows no recollection of the TARDIS. Could this fragmentation involve the Daleks in Asylum, or could the Oswin we saw there have been a mere fragment of her former self? For now, those questions will have to remain unanswered at the very least until December 25th, but finding out the truth could be very exciting! Doctor Who returns on Christmas Day, before a full return with Series Seven Part Two in Spring 2013.
