Although today’s a day full of huge excitement as we wait for tonight’s finale, there’s also a touch of great sadness about proceedings, as its accompanying Confidential will be the last ever.
The BBC has decided to cancel the programme as a “cost-cutting measure”, and it will come as a great loss to the Doctor Who universe. We’d like to thank all the Confidential team for their hard work and for documenting the making of our favourite show since its revival. You’ll be missed!

In tonight’s final episode, When Time Froze, the cast unravel the series climax, there’s a timeline of River’s life with the Doctor, plus the premiere of the brand new adventure, Death is the Only Answer, featuring Einstein, so tune in from 8:35pm on BBC Three!

We’ve almost made it, everyone! This year’s rollercoaster of a series will reach its jaw-dropping conclusion tonight, as we all gather for The Wedding of River Song.
All the way back in April, the Doctor returned to our screens and was shot dead by an impossible astronaut by the shores of Lake Silencio in Utah. Today, time finally catches up with him as he faces his destiny, and there’s plenty of mysteries to be resolved, so it promises to be an absolute humdinger! The whole series has been building up to this!
Last year’s series ended with a wedding, and this one looks set to go the same way, but something tells us things won’t be as simple as they were for Amy and Rory (Big Bang Two and resetting the universe aside…). One thing’s for sure though, tonight’s finale will be a mad, confusing and mind-bendingly exciting ride, so we had all better buckle up…
The Wedding of River Song takes place tonight from 7:05pm on BBC One, and you’ll be able to join us straight after for the reception party as we rate and debate all the action!
Meanwhile, from 8:35pm, the last ever episode of Confidential will be screened on BBC Three. When Time Froze features interviews with the cast, a look back at River Song’s timeline, and the premiere of Death is the Only Answer, a mini-adventure written by the winners of the Script to Screen competition in which the Doctor meets… Einstein!

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!
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.”

In the last few days of his life, the Doctor pays a farewell visit to his old friend Craig, and encounters a mystery. People are going missing, a silver rat scuttles in the shadows of a department store, and close by the Cybermen are waiting.
It’s the penultimate episode of Series 6 (already!?) and the Doctor’s time is running out…
In tonight’s episode, there were familiar faces aplenty for the Doctor, as he paid his chum Craig a surprise visit. He soon found himself caught up in another mystery at the hands of the Cybermen, so the pair joined forces to restore harmony to a normal shopping centre.
The clock’s tick-tick-ticking for our Time Lord, but, with people going missing and a strange silver rat scuttling in the shadows, it was business as usual – with a little help from a baby!
So, did Closing Time live up to your expectations? Were you happy to see Craig back with the Doctor? Were the Cybermen used to perfection, or were the metal morons out of place in the story? As always, rate and discuss the episode for all it’s worth in the comments…
