New Doctor Who Details- Part 1

As fans will doubtless know, Doctor Who returns this week in a spectacular opening episode that begins a new run of six stories, Let's Kill Hitler. Speculation is rife as to what exciting revelations are coming in Season Six Part Two, as well as the immediate future of the sci-fi programme after the 2011 Christmas Special. Below, I've collected a collation of interview quotes from executive producer Steven Moffat which shed some light on the recent speculation and rumours...
STEVEN MOFFAT:
ON A POSSIBLE REDUCED SERIES 7- "Absolute nonsense. First of all, we are airing in 2012. The only thing that's happening is that we're moving a bit later...There's lots of reasons for that that will become clear quite soon...You're not going to reduce a show like this. The opposite is going to happen, in fact." Most notably, I would imagine, is that with the 50th Anniversary coming in 2013 Steven and the crew will want to keep Who fresh in our minds throughout that year, perhaps by airing one half of Series Seven in Autumn 2012 and the other in Spring 2013, and then even perhaps another series later in the celebratory festivities. One thing's for sure- when the show has been 'off air', the production team have used events like Doctor Who Live to make the wait seem easier, so you can be sure there'll be things to entice us in the Spring and Summer of next year while Series Seven is shooting.
ON WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS HALF- "It's an absolute cracker. Answers will be given. We're not Lost. You will know what's really going on on that beach, and the truth about River Song, which you don't know yet. It's pretty much answer, answer, answer in a way...but by the end of Episode 13, new things will have begun...The great thing about River Song is that everytime you get an answer, it makes you ask another question..."
ON THE SCALE OF THE PLOT ARCS- "This is the most arc-intensive we've ever been and I'm throwing the lever the other way next year." So perhaps Series Seven will be more similar to Series Five, with an underlying arc that gradually builds to the finale rather than dominating the season? Admittedly, some stories like The Curse of the Black Spot and the Flesh two-parter seemed to suffer from shoehorning in elements of the arc, but hopefully with six singular stories coming up not too much harm will have been caused to Series Six's quality as a whole.
