To clarify what is happening with Doctor Who:
The plan as it stands is that DW will return in the autumn for five episodes, with the final instalment writing out Amy (yay!) and Rory (sob!l) in a fateful face-off with the Weeping Angels.
The sixth instalment of 2012 will then be that year's Christmas special, which introduces the new mystery companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman.
The show is then back for eight more episodes in 2013.
After that? "There'll be more episodes than just those eight," showrunner Steven Moffat confirms. "But these 14 are the ones we're making right now."
