Doctor Who Preview At ComicCon

There will be a panel based around Doctor Who at this year's San Diego ComicCon, it was revealed today. The event, taking place at 12.30pm on Sunday July 24th, will feature a question-and-answer session with executive producer Piers Wenger and Beth Willis, writer of Episode 11 (The God Complex, starring David Walliams!) Toby Whithouse and leads Matt Smith (the Doctor) and Karen Gillian (Amy Pond). This session will feature the premiere of the first footage of Series Six's remaining six episodes, which include Let's Kill Hitler and a sequel to The Lodger starring James Corden. The second half of this season starts with the Doctor in a race against time to find the young Melody Pond/River Song and save her from the nefarious Madame Kovarian whilst possibly stopping the assassination of an evil Nazi dictator along the way. We'll then have a few standalone episodes, and finally waits the finale, where the supposed death of the Doctor, the century-spanning plot of the Silence and the Time Lord's true relationship with River Song will likely be revealed (but with threads left open for Series Seven, and quite possibly another appearance from Ian McNeice as Winston Churchill and Simon Fisher-Becker as Dorium!). And then of course there's the Christmas Special...sorry, getting ahead of myself! The footage will probably be on YouTube shortly after its debut via someone recording it, so although the quality may not be the best I'll do my best to get it onto the blog as soon as possible. The Doctor Who panel happens on Sunday July 24th, and the series returns this September.
