Tomorrow night it’s double the excitement for fans! Not only will we finally get to see the Series 6 finale, but we’ll also be treated to a brand new mini-adventure with the Doctor!

Series 6 will reach its thrilling climax tomorrow night, but the journey continues for the Doctor as filming for the Christmas special is ongoing in South Wales as we speak!
You can check out a gallery of intriguing filming photos over at the BBC News website, featuring Matt Smith and Claire Skinner, who will be guest starring as “super-mum” Madge Arwell in the festive episode. The seasonal tale is set during World War II, and it’s been described as a “magical and mysterious” adventure “full of Christmas thrills”.
Written by Steven Moffat, Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir and Alexander Armstrong also star.
It has been confirmed today that this weekend’s Doctor Who Confidential will be the last ever episode of the series.
The behind the scenes programme, which has aired alongside the main series since 2005, has been axed as a “cost-cutting measure” reports the Guardian, who explain: “With the BBC facing budget cuts of up to 20% across its output as part of its Delivering Quality First initiative BBC controller Zai Bennett has chosen to axe the show at the end of its current series”. The final episode, When Time Froze, airs on Saturday.
A BBC spokeswoman said: “Doctor Who Confidential has been a great show for BBC3 over the years but our priority is to build on original British commissions unique to the channel.”
A very, very sad day for indeed! What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments…
