Doctor Who - 2012 will have at least 14 Episodes

Jan 18, 2012

Share on Reddit
Steven Moffat spoke to Radio Times recently, remaining as cryptic as ever about what the future holds for Doctor Who. He did, however, confirm that “at least 14 episodes” will be broadcast from Autumn 2012.

“It’ll be returning in the autumn,” he said. “I won’t say when exactly, but it’ll be back in the autumn for a long run. I will just say, it will be at least 14 episodes. We always do 14, because we do the Christmas special as well. So being in the autumn, the Christmas special will be part of it as well.”

    "At least" 14 is definitely promising!  Glad to hear we'll see full length or better, after those rumors a while back about an abridged season.  Another long wait, but as always, bound to be worth it.

    Very excited for this season but really can't wait to hear the plans for the 50th anniversary next year.

    Come on, the cryptic-ness is getting boring now, it's not like he's giving away huge plot details! Why can't he just be clear on when it's coming back and how many episodes exactly will there be! Or has the bloody BBC messed the show around again, I wouldn't be surprised! They'll sooner put it on at noon on a Sunday than spare it from the budget cuts (whilst bollocks shows like Eastenders are unaffected)

    Autumn? Another 9 months, that is brutal!

    Seeing as how there's always 13 episodes plus a Christmas special every season, "At least 14" seems like an empty statement meant to placate fans annoyed by the long hiatus.

    Yep exactly.  It does seem that certain 'fans' and the Daily Fail newspaper has helped spread rumours of trouble at Who as much as they can recently.  I think it's important that Moff keeps us up to date thou, it's nice to have this confirmation from him so that it stops one of the vicious rumours about the 'demise' of the show can be stopped :D

    I never got how those cancellation rumors could ever get traction.  Doctor Who is the most successful and profitable show that the BBC has.  It's crazy that Moffat feels that he has to constantly update fans and quell rumors because so many Who fans are so obsessive and nutty.

    I think much of the problem stems from the show having run for so long, some fans don't get behind how it changes from time to time and confuse their negative feelings with how they imagine most other people *must* be feeling about it :s  

    Plus there is a rather large amount of people, esp in the media (and esp Murdock media), who hate the BBC.  Therefore a show as successful as Who (and Top Gear) will always be used in a negative way as a tool for trying to turn others against their competitor :(

    And finally, the show was cancelled in the 80s after some poor mismanagement (imo) and some older fans will always worry that their favourite show will be discarded in much the same manner as then.
