The BBC has sent out a press release that is under embargo until midnight, so we've got a little under five hours until we get the news. And it's apparently big poo poo. So, it's either that cache of missing episodes, or ... bye bye, Matt.

pgroce posted:What about the recent lying bothers you more than the lying the production staff has done since the beginning of the show? Yeah, it's not like RTD and staff didn't repeatedly say, "No, seriously guys, Chris Eccleston isn't leaving, he isn't leaving, David Tennant hasn't been cast, we love Chris and look forward to having him as the Doctor for many years to come."

awesomepanda posted:Something must of happened to push Matt Smith out of show. His departure seems so sudden and unexpected. It may be many years before we find out. There was a rumor that Smith and Moffat had a falling-out over the plans for the 50th, as in Smith going, "loving seriously? That's it?" But, rumors are rumors. In any event, my guess is that Smith made his decision sometime between the end of filming on Series 7 and the filming of the 50th special. That he's been so cagey about it for months (and that even the BBC announcement of Series 8 didn't specifically mention him in the cast) says to me that the decision was made a while ago, and they were trying (and failing) to keep it under wraps, so the BBC did what they did regarding Eccleston and said, "Yep, sorry, he really is leaving." Porkchop Express posted:So how is this gonna work now? It says he is only going to have a few specials, but I thought the newest season started well before Christmas, and the Christmas special is to be one of his episodes. Filming of the Christmas special takes place this summer. They won't begin shooting Series 8 until either late this year or very early 2014.

Gangringo posted:The next doctor isn't likely to be anyone we've heard of. I mean look at what David Tennant and Matt Smith were up to before they got the role. Eh, Tennant wasn't the known commodity that Eccleston was when he was cast, but he had Casanova and Blackpool under his belt, so he wasn't totally unknown, unlike Smith, who was a "who the gently caress is that guy?" choice.

Yes, Moffat is confirmed to be doing Series 8. Also: quote:I'm bummed we won't get to see what a better show-runner could do with Smith. I remember everyone saying the same thing about Tennant / RTD.  Metal Loaf posted:I think the split seasons were out of Moffat's hands, though. It's probably six of one, half-dozen of the other. Budgets have definitely been an issue, but there have been multiple reports that Moffat is notoriously slow at writing scripts / revising other people's scripts (he supposedly got the 50th special script in only a few weeks before filming, which gave the design and costuming departments very little time to do their thing), and that between Sherlock and Who, he's just in over his head. I have a hunch that the reason Gatiss and Stephen Thompson wrote the first two episodes of the next run of Sherlock was to give Moffat time to focus on the 50th / Christmas specials and get working on Series 8.

thexerox123 posted:Isn't the 50th special still more than a few weeks away from filming? The 50th wrapped shooting on May 5. Location filming with Hurt, Tennant and Smith was done in the first few weeks of April (which is when we saw photos of all three, plus the Zygon), and then they moved to soundstages. Post-production will take a while, surely, and there's no reason they can't shoot a bit for the 50th while they film the Christmas special this summer (like how they shot the Hurt piece for The Name of the Doctor while they were making the 50th special) but the actual, "official" filming portion is in the can.

Tomtrek posted:I'd assumed that because Rose was coming back, we would be getting Series 2 Tenth Doctor, but if they're including all the Queen Elizabeth stuff then it must be post-Waters of Mars Tenth Doctor. So where does Rose come into it? Based on the hairstyle and the suit and Rose's outfit, it's definitely Series 2 Tenth Doctor. I'm guessing Queen Elizabeth is just Moffat handwaving.

PriorMarcus posted:Does he? It isn't meant to air until next August (!) so that's a lot of downtime for him between filming and the airing. Doesn't it usually take six or seven months to produce a full 13-episode run, due to British union regulations? I seem to recall both Tennant and Smith citing the schedule (and the crimp it put on them taking other work) as the primary reason for them leaving.

Coq au Nandos posted:You're all over-analysing. It's going to be Tennant. That thought crossed my mind, considering they did do some filming with Tennant in Smith's TARDIS on The Day of the Doctor, and it wouldn't be the first time this year they've gotten creative on that front -- The Night of the Doctor was filmed during the last two days of production on the 50th, and they shot the Smith / Coleman / Hurt sequence from the end of The Name of the Doctor during 50th filming, as well. Of course, that would have required Moffat to have had the Christmas special script written all the way back in April (the 50th was shot in April / May, and I believe they filmed the Christmas special in September), which would be unlikely.

PriorMarcus posted:It's not meant to air until August. That's going to be a lot of downtime. Not as much as you might think. While US television shows will often knock out a 40-minute episode in five or six days, it's a lot longer for British productions, due to union crew rules and the like. A thirteen-episode run of Doctor Who can take as long as nine / ten months or so to shoot (which is why none of the cast members stick around for more than a few years -- it severely crimps their ability to take on other work). When Series 8 starts airing, they'll still be filming the last few episodes.

The article also confirms that filming will run through August, which feels just a touch short for 13 + Christmas. I wonder if they're going to put production of the Christmas special into a Series 9 production run.

Sydney Bottocks posted:Exactly this. I forget the exact saying, but there's an old Hollywood saying that goes something like "Many a bad movie has been made from a good script, but there's never been a good movie made from a bad script." I believe the adage is "if it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage." That being said, after reading the first few, I really have no problem with them. People are bitching about the Doctor battling Robin Hood with a spoon after they fawned over Tennant making a big dramatic speech and trying to make his Zygon detector go "ding" at a rabbit.

Irish Joe posted:Moffat is all over this season. He did six episodes in Season 5, too. I wonder if he's so involved because it's a new Doctor again. I also wonder if they've adopted American-style credits, in that if the showrunner comes in and does a rewrite, he gets a credit, too. (Sort of like how RTD rewrote Phil Ford on The Waters of Mars.)
