Well it’s that time of year again, Doctor Who time.

Three important things to start off with:
1) It’s terribly sad that this season of Doctor Who starts off on a down note, with the death of Elizabeth Sladen. She was, for many, the definitive companion and her passing is a loss to both fans old and new of the show. How this will effect the show, and the Sarah Jane Adventures, is uncertain, but whatever the outcome the show has lost one of it’s best companions and actresses. There will be a short tribute to her at 6:45 on the CBBC channel, in-between the show and Confidential
2) The show is now being shown on the same day in both the US and the UK. That means that the episode that’s being shown on BBCAmerica tonight is the same episode that was shown on BBC1 only a few hours earlier. This is a good thing.
3) This series is being split into two halves. The first 7 episodes now, the next 7 episodes in the Autumn. This is also a good thing.
THE EPISODES:
The first half of the series will be:
The Impossible Astronaut and The Day of the Moon by Steven Moffat
The Curse of the Black Spot by Steven Thompson (this episode was originally going to be shown in the second half but was swapped with Mark Gatiss’ creepy doll episode)
The Doctor’s Wife by Neil Gaiman. Yes, that Neil Gaiman
The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People by Matthew Graham. (who has previously written… ugh… Fear Her)
A Good Man Goes to War by Steven Moffat (the end of this half of the season with A BIG CLIFFHANGER)
SPOILERS:
Let’s put spoilers in spoiler tags. Yes, okay, the Radio Times might have “LOOK AT THE RETURN OF MARTHA JONES… AS A ROBOT??” on every news stand but that’s still a spoiler and some people don’t want to read them! (that’s not a real spoiler)
Apart from that, just watch Doctor Who.
