iO9 http://tinyurl.com/7e77msp Doctor Who Episode eleven is reportedly the one currently filming at a Welsh manor — not the Christmas special, as originally suggested — and one fan watching the set claims to have heard the name of the new companion played by Jenna-Louise Coleman. It's reportedly Clara, although it's unknown if she also has a last name, what with there being some totally unsubstantiated rumors that she's playing a human-looking alien who might not have need for surnames. Steven Moffat discusses the impact of Coleman joining the show: It's just very exciting. When a new companion comes in it sort of reboots the show a little bit, it makes you look at the Doctor differently, it makes the show feel different, that's already happening. It's literally a new beginning, you're back to chapter one, in a way it's always a story of someone getting to know the Doctor, and now it's Jenna's character. There's a lot of ways (her character) will be different, but I'm not telling you what they are! Jenna is just wonderful and spiky and salty and clever: again - just as Doctor Who always does - it becomes a different show, and I'm thrilled with her, everyone's going to be. He also assures everyone who will listen that the show's long-term prospects are just fine: You're not getting shorter and shorter seasons, we're just splitting it over Christmas; we're making the same number of episodes as usual - I can tell by the grey hairs on my head - but we delayed it a few months to start it later in the year, that's all that's happened. There's no chance of the BBC giving up on Doctor Who: it's a huge money spinner, it's doing better than ever abroad, the global number of people watching Doctor Who has just gone up and up and up, it was the most downloaded show on American iTunes last year - not a chance of the BBC giving up on Doctor Who, not at all. Elsewhere, he discusses further the show's new transmission schedule, which splits the series between the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013: "I've been well up for anything that we can do to shake up the transmission pattern, the way we deliver it to the audience and how long we [make] the audience wait, simply because that makes Doctor Who an event piece." -- 給 end 的人整理: 1. 新伴侶應該叫做 Clara 但是姓還未知 2. 擔保 BBC 不會放棄 DW 而且每季的集數也不會變少 3. 第七季會由聖誕節特輯切為前後兩半橫跨 2012 到 2013 -- "It's very simple: Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock and, as it always has, rock crushes scissors." - Sheldon Cooper @ TBBT --
