'DOCTOR WHO': New information revealed on Jenna-Louise Coleman's companion

Doctor Who TV is reporting that Steven Moffat, the showrunner and head-writer for Doctor Who, has released a few tidbits of information regarding Jenna-Louise Coleman's character (allegedly named Clara) in the second half of the seventh series of Who.

According to Doctor Who TV:

• Coleman will play a modern, human girl--despite rumors that she would be from Victorian times, and that she would be alien.
• She's very unique in the way she ends up with the Doctor
• She's got no connections to previous companions OR characters
• "The Doctor has never met anyone quite like her before"
• She's very effective on the Doctor/companion relationship, and her experience in the TARDIS is reportedly life-changing for the Doctor.

We're definitely discussing this on the next episode of the show! What are your thoughts? 

More Series 7 updates for 'Doctor Who'; "Cubed" filming in Wales | Spoilers

A couple days ago, we reported that the fourth episode of the seventh series of Doctor Who would be entitled "Cubed", and cubed it is.

Doctor Who TV has updated us with images from filming of the episode over in Wales, showing Amy and Rory peering out their window to see little black cubes scattered all over the street. The Doctor is also visible near a tree, fidgeting around, and Mark Williams--who can be seen in the teaser trailer for the upcoming season--was also seen on the set.

The pictures are from the Twitter user Mugim0e, and due to copyright issues, they are visible in an intersting slideshow on DWT.

'Doctor Who' Exec Caroline Skinner Talks Series 7 | Spoilers

Just yesterday, we posted about Steven Moffat's spoilers for the seventh series of Doctor Who. Now, it seems another Who exec has spoken about the upcoming series. Doctor Who TV provides an interesting report from Caroline Skinner about what fans can expect from the next season.

Doctor Who TV reports:

Skinner confirms that the Russel T Davies-owned Dalek he loaned for filming on the opener has a "starring role in the climax."


She moves on to talk about the second episode which is being written by Chris Chibnall. Skinner says it has "the best episode title ever" and will be "the biggest VFX episode of the series."


Skinner also stated that the fourth episode is tentatively titled Cubed, and is--of course--the second to last episode starring Rory Williams and Amy Pond, which is in production now, and that it will focus on Rory and Amy's relationship.

Steven Moffat Talks Series 7 of 'Doctor Who' | Spoilers ahead.

Steven Moffat, producer and writer of the BBC drama, Doctor Who, has spoken to Doctor Who TV about the future of the series and what we can expect from the next series, which we already know will consist of the departure of Amy Pond and Rory Williams, the Doctor's current companions.

• Rory and Amy are no longer regular travelers with the Doctor: “If he thinks he needs them, he just pops in on them,” but, “Each time they’ll get a little older.”
• Moffat on killing off companions: “Even if Idon’t think I’ll do it…maybe I will do it!”
• Moffat ponders, “If we did a UNIT story, would Martha be there?”
• The Special Weapons Dalek will definitely appear in the opener
• Moffat reiterates that the New Paradigm Daleks are an “officer class”
• Can the question “Doctor Who?” be answered? “Wait and see”
• We will find out exactly what Trenzalore is all about
• “The Fall of the Eleventh” will also be resolved (perhaps not in Series 7 though)
• Moffat is very keen that the order of the episodes can be swapped around this time
• There will still be a story arc, but it will be “the opposite” of Series 6
• Even though he said no more two-parters, they are still possible if the story requires them
• Jenna-Louise’s companion will be different to the others and is “going to be a shock”
• Filming will continue throughout the rest of 2012 and further into 2013 and beyond

These spoiler-y plot points can be found in tomorrow's issue of the Doctor Who Magazine and its interview with Moffat. 

A couple of observations:

• Moffat says that series 7 will consist of a plot arc that is opposite to that of series 6, which [spoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoiler] revolves primarily around River Song and her history and involvement with the Doctor. What, exactly, do you think this means? Will the plot arc revolve around the absence of someone? Perhaps a more light-hearted storyline, whereas River's was very tragic? We know that River will be appearing in the series, so could she be involved somehow? 
• Karen Gillan has said that Amy and Rory's exit will close things up (many people believe they'll be [spoilerspoilerspoiler] killed by Weeping Angels; but will they survive and make cameos later on?
• What is "different" in Steven Moffat's eyes (RE: the Jenna Louise Coleman comment.) How do you think her companion character will act? I've actually started to believe that she'll be very stubborn and resistant on her quests with the Doctor, and that she may even betray him for her own benefit.

What are your thoughts? 

The Doctor's Next Companion is...

Jenna-Louise Coleman (Emmerdale, Captain America) has been cast as the Doctor's next companion in the British television series, Doctor Who. For those who are unaware, the Doctor brings a companion with him as he travels through time in order to successfully...do what he does, I suppose.

More coverage on this casting and the upcoming series of Doctor Who will be taken by Stefanie.
