Series 9 - Jenna Colemen Confirmed
Steven Moffat confirmed that "Jenna is in all of the next series. There was a certain amount of to-ing and fro-ing. I always think I’m quite good at winding up people on this but Jenna completely outplayed me when she said in an interview ‘I’m not telling you if I’m staying or going because it’s just more exciting’. And it occurred to us all that we don’t start shooting until January so we could actually keep it a secret."
Jenna Coleman said: "It’s wonderful - a whole other series of stories with the Doctor. I couldn’t walk away with the story being unresolved, there’s so much more to do and I think Clara and the Doctor have finally just reached a point where they really understand each other."
Capaldi said: "I think Jenna’s been just fantastic and it’s been such a pleasure to work with her - and especially for me as the new person onto the show, she’s just been fantastic - and so I was so excited and delighted when she finally [agreed to stay]."
Filming for the new series will begin in January and will broadcast in late 2015 on BBC One and BBC One HD.

Radio Times - New Doctor Who-Themed Cover
Doctor Who has previously featured such concepts as killer mannequins, flying sharks and the revelation that the moon is, in fact, a giant egg. Yet even by the sci-fi show's standards, the Doctor coming face-to-face with Santa Claus, and some Alien-like monsters, in the Christmas special is a bit out there.
Fortunately, showrunner Steven Moffat is more than aware of the apparent absurdity, and has assured fans in the latest issue of Radio Times that he hasn't, "completely lose my marbles here."
"I sense that the very people who think they might hate this," he says, "won't hate it at all. Of all the Christmas specials I've done, it's the one most like the paradigm Doctor Who episode."
Last Christmas, which features guest star Nick Frost as Santa himself, will continue from his surprise cameo in the finale of series eight, placing him in a story about a group of scientists that are beset by monsters at the North Pole.
"It does look like the most insane moment when Santa turns up [at the end of Death in Heaven," continues Moffat, "but we haven't gone off our rockers. No, Santa is written in properly, in a science fiction way, into Doctor Who."
He also adds that while the episode does bundle up its festive content in a "big lump of goodness," the rest of the special is, "actually a scary, tense and claustrophobic adventure. It's The Thing meets Miracle on 34th Street - the movie we've all been waiting for. It's certainly the strangest bloody thing I've ever written."
Elsewhere in the interview, Moffat talks about how he came to cast Nick Frost ("how perfect is his name!"), whether the Master is really dead ("she's entirely unzappable!") and the biggest challenge that the show faced after the casting of Peter Capaldi's older Twelfth Doctor.
"[The big challenge] was people freaking out in America about casting an older Doctor because it's simply not part of their tradition. It isn't here either anymore. But there was an increase in ratings, so hooray for the stern older man. We've been thrilled by it."
This issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale from today at all good newsagents priced £1.99 per copy.

THE CRAWLING TERROR - written by Mike Tucker, read by Neve McIntosh
Gabby Nichols is putting her son to bed when she hears her daughter cry out. ‘Mummy there’s a daddy longlegs in my room!’ Then the screaming starts… Kevin Alperton is on his way to school when he is attacked by a mosquito. A big one. Then things get dangerous. But it isn’t the dead man cocooned inside a huge mass of web that worries the Doctor. It isn’t the swarming, mutated insects that make him nervous.
With the village cut off from the outside world, and the insects becoming more and more dangerous, the Doctor knows that unless he can decode the strange symbols engraved on an ancient stone circle, and unravel a mystery dating back to the Second World War, no one is safe.

The series eight premiere was the show’s highest-rated series premiere ever on BBC America, and is the first BBC Worldwide series ever to simultaneously hold the #1 slot in the Main TV Season Charts across all major Electronic Sell-through platforms in the U.S within 48 hours of episode 1’s release on August 24th 2014. In Canada, on the Space channel, the first 10 episodes of series eight have seen a 22% uplift in consolidated audience size on series seven.

2013 Specials Soundtrack - Covers & Details
2013 was an epochal year for Doctor Who and the two specials reflected the series monumental impact as a British cultural icon.
The Day of the Doctor celebrated the 50th anniversary of the series with a story that weaved in many references to its distinguished past and was transmitted to 94 countries, the largest ever simulcast for a TV drama. The Time of the Doctor in the now traditional Christmas Day slot showcased the departure of Matt Smith and Peter Capaldis debut as the twelfth Doctor.
With this 2 CD release, Murray Golds best-selling music for the series extends the catalogue to nine years of superbly crafted themes from uplifting and exciting to reflective and melancholic. Ever since Doctor Who's revival in 2005, Murray Golds incidental music has become as iconic as the theme tune (originally composed by Ron Grainer) he re-arranged. It takes sadness and provokes tears.
"It takes danger and quickens the pulse. It takes adventures through time and space with a mad man in a box and somehow makes it all seem even more weird and wonderful than it already is" - Radio Times.

BBC Worldwide has 70 pairs of tickets to give away for this exclusive event. Fans will be treated to a special screening followed by a Q&A with members of the cast. All they need to do is visit www.doctorwho.tv and correctly answer the multiple choice question, when they will subsequently be entered into a prize draw. The competition opens today and will close at 23:59 on Wed 29th October.
Frank Skinner commented, "When they asked me to host this event I was over the moon. Luckily the space-dragon incubation period is such that I was in no real danger. I have so many questions I want to ask and, when we're all talked out, I'm planning to finish off by crowd-surfing for 10 to 15 minutes, dressed as Chief Engineer Perkins."
