Steve, please don’t joke like that. I have a low blood sugar at the moment and I don’t want to pass out before I can rectify the problem, LOL!

@TWWL Sorry, did not misread my message - "I have yet to meet someone who liked last years season." - "yet to meet" being the basic point! @Grace As per my message to TWWL - We don't know that Moffat is changing his style for the next season. For all we know it could be another year of Soap Opera and babies again! Oh, with the odd attempt at a story line added.

All I’d say is that I’d like to feel the same way about Doctor Who as I used to. I used to really enjoy it and look forward to it, but I haven’t really been that bothered about watching Series 5 and 6 and that’s quite a big change.

I still don’t know what’s wrong. All I know is that for me, Doctor Who felt right with the 9th and 10th Doctors, but with the 11th Doctor, something’s wrong or missing, but I can’t say specifically what it is, as much as I’d like to.

I didn’t hate Series 6……..I just didn’t care, which of those is worse?

@Professor Zed Unless, of course, the Christmas Special is the mid-series finale which would be cool if it was like A Good Man Goes To War.

@Steve

While I’m sure not EVERYONE hated (there’s bound to be one or two) I’d say enough people did “HATE IT” to matter! Why else would Moffat make a point of changing his style for the following season? I don’t think he would have done so if you and I would have been alone.

@TE HOW DARE YOU upstage me by accessing the facts! What can I say? I got that completely backwards. Hey, at least when I'm wrong, I'm really wong! So right. What are they gonna do about a 2012 Christmas special? Perhaps it's time for the Doctor to take a Christmas vacation?

@Steve Yeah, everyone hated it alright. (P.S. Not everyone hated it)

@Professor Zed Not according to The Writer’s Tale. The production code for The Christmas Invasion was 2.X which is why it was filmed alongside Series Two. Also, the announcement that there would be 14 episodes for Series Seven said that the 2011 Christmas Special was included in those 14 episodes.

@TE The Christmas specials have always been attached “production-wise” to the previous series. Then they get attached to the next series on the DVD releases. That’s so that the previous series can be released on DVD in time for Christmas gifts.

So “The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe” was the 14th episode produced for the 6th series, just as “The Christmas Invasion” was the 14th episode produced for the 1st series. “TD, TW and TW” will eventually be released on the 7th series DVD.

Whether or not there will in fact be a Christmas 2012 special, I don’t know for certain. There are 14 episodes that will be produced for series 7. So there should 15 episodes total on the next DVD release.

That’s my theory and my theory is what.
