Steven Moffat Teases Series 6 ''enormous, game-changing" cliffhanger

Everyone knows by now that upcoming the series 6 of Doctor Who will be split in two next year with the first part made of 7 episodes airing in the spring, and the second part of 6 episodes airing over the fall. And mostly everyone also knows that the split will be marked by a huge cliffhanger (I don't know about you but I really, really hate those).

In an article with Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat revealed that:

BBC Confirms Guest Stars for the Doctor Who Christmas Episode!

The BBC has issued a press release teasing the fans about what's coming up for the Christmas episode of Doctor Who.

Production starts today (Monday 12 July) on the 2010 Doctor Who BBC One Christmas Special in which the thrilling adventures of the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and newlyweds Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) will continue in a fun-filled and heartfelt festive story.

In the grand tradition of Doctor Who Christmas specials, this year the show has once again attracted stellar guest stars as veteran actor Michael Gambon (Harry Potter, The Singing Detective) and opera diva Katherine Jenkins, in her first acting role, join the Time Lord for what might be his most Christmassy adventure yet!

And so, Amy and Rory will be joining the Doctor in the Christmas fun, the first time since the 2005 Christmas episode The Christmas Invasion, which marked David Tennant's first episode as the Doctor.

The addition of Michael Gambon for the Christmas episode is an awesome casting coup, and I can't wait to see which character the actor will play. Apparently, he and Katherine Jenkins will play major roles in the special episode.

Doctor Who: Arthur Darvill Talks Rory and Confirms Smith and Gillan's Return for Series 6

In an interview given to Digital Spy, Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory Williams - Amy's fiancee, confirmed that  both Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will indeed be back for Series 6 (Smith's return was a given since the actor signed a 3 series contract). However, Darville doesn't know if Rory will be back at all. Still, the actor got to say some interesting things about his character for Series 5.

Doctor Who to have Two Companions or Three!

Seems that not only will the Eleventh Doctor (played by Matt Smith) travel with known companion Amy Pond (played by Karen Gillan) but he will also have another companion in the form of Amy's own fiancee, a chap named Rory Williams (played by Arthur Darvill).

The Daily Star reports that:

He (The Doctor) is completely unaware she’s actually a stripogram girl. But the newly-regenerated Doc whisks her away in his police box and the pair are even seen sharing a snog.

It’s only later he discovers Amy was about to marry fiancé Rory Williams, played by Arthur Darvill, 27. Horrified he has split them up, he whizzes back to Earth, gatecrashes the lad’s stag do and bundles him into the Tardis

What is more, they hint that a third companion will join the group later in the series. My money is on River Song.

This will be a very crowded Tardis but it's not unusual for the Doctor to be accompanied by many companions at once. There was a time when the 5th Doctor was accompanied by Nyssa, Tegan and Aldric.
