Three big news stories regarding the BBC's sci-fi drama
Doctor Who have been released this week, and rather than rounding them up next week along with what's sure to be a
huge announcement about Season Seven's rescheduling to 2012 and the 50th Anniversary in 2013, I thought I'd cover them now...
- First up, some sad news: the BBC have chosen to axe the behind-the-scenes spin off Doctor Who Confidential, which was broadcast on BBC3 every Saturday after its respective episode. When Time Froze, which features a mini-episode written by school pupils and a comprehensive look at River Song's timeline, will mark the final episode, then, tomorrow, but you can sign this petition as I have (and as have nearly 20,000 other fans!) to alert the corporation of our disappointment and bring the show back: http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/savedwc
- On a brighter note, James Corden has told Den of Geek that he would love to return to Who in Series Seven: "I've had some emails from Steven Moffat this week, actually, about trying to do something. It's just whether we can squeeze something in. But I would love to. I feel so proud to be part of it, I can't tell you." So perhaps we'll get returns from Craig and Stormaggedon, Dark Lord of All, in 2012!
- Finally, Nicholas Courtney will be paid tribute to in tomorrow night's episode The Wedding of River Song (I'll be previewing that later tonight). The actor played Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart in over 100 episodes of the sci-fi, and passed away in February.
