==Amy and Rory Leaving==


According to the BBC, Moff has confirmed their exit in series 7:
==14 episodes, not 13==
Despite Moffat stating in DWM and other BBC sources stating this, the article continues to treat The Snowmen as a standalone, whereas Moffat, etc have said it was considered a "regular" episode. I'm aware there are rumors that Snowmen might not be in included in the Part 2 DVD/Blu-ray release, but that's beside the point. The episode count should be adjusted accordingly. (And in an earlier thread, now archived, I also questioned whether the 2011 Christmas special, which we now know is not being released or circulated in any way with Series 7 shouldn't be moved to the Series 6 article instead...

==The Night of the Doctor==


Can someone update the article?
Should ''[[The Night of the Doctor]]'' be considered part of this run or Series 8? [[User:Silent Hunter UK|Silent Hunter UK]] [[User talk:Silent Hunter UK|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:28, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

== No "doctor2" in this series ==


== Christmas Special ==
For those who think that the [[War Doctor]] should be added to the infobox in the "doctor2" field, here is an explanation why it must not be done:
{{quote|The doctor2 variable is only for Doctors who actually had a solo adventure in [the] year. Thus, there is no doctor2 in season 10, season 20, or season 22, but there is one in season 21 and season 4. The doctor2 should be considered the one that has the minority of episodes in the season. So in season 4, doctor2 is the First Doctor.|Documentation for the Infobox Series template|Template:Infobox Series}}

This page really needs to be updated to reflect the fact that the Christmas Special has already aired. The article still refers to it as if it were a future event.[[User:Mandalore74|Mandalore74]] <sup>[[User talk:Mandalore74|talk to me]]</sup> 03:06, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

== The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe ==
 
Why is The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe stated as part of Series 7? The citation that leads to http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/tag/series-7 doesn't say anything about this episode being part of Series 7.
 
I think soemone has misunderstood what the article means. I'm pretty sure A Christmas Carol is part of Series 5 and The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe is part of Series 6.
 
From Steven Moffat's wording it seems Series 7 will have it's own Christmas special. I would urge someone to fic this error.
 
The Christmas Carol was released with Series 6 on DVD.  [[Special:Contributions/214.13.69.132|214.13.69.132]]<sup>[[User talk:214.13.69.132#top|talk to me]]</sup> 11:59, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
 
== Episode Math ==
 
So... I'm a bit confused.  We were told the 14 episodes would include ''DWW'' (as it says in this very article), but the recent companion revelation includes mention of the first half of this series having 6 episodes and the second having 8, meaning ''15'' episodes. Now, that said, they said eight for that year, which could even mean the second 2013 series premiere.  Any thoughts?

::Going by [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_120305_01/The_New_Series this page], made after ''The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe'''s transmission, I'd say it's 14 PLUS ''Wardrobe''. Apart from ''The Next Doctor'' and ''The End of Time'' 1, Christmas specials are rarely numbered with the series. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 21:35, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Uh, in case some haven't noticed, this will be the first time that a companion change has happened in the middle of a season since ''[[Planet of Fire]]'' in [[Season 21]] of the original series. Shouldn't there be an additional line saying "First mid-season companion change since [[1984]]"? {{Unsigned-anon|173.167.179.77}}

Uh, they're still credited and appear? It really didn't seem like they left during the previous season, and as for ''Closing Time'', it seemed more like a companion-lite episode much like ''The Lodger''.  Stand to reason right? If they're still credited, they count. And, litteraly, that didn't count as a companion change. Looking at this season, it introduces a NEW companion instead of using the ones already known.([[Special:Contributions/173.167.179.77|173.167.179.77]]<sup>[[User talk:173.167.179.77#top|talk to me]]</sup> 22:20, April 2, 2012 (UTC))

:We don't really know. Moffat and company are playing their cards very close to their chests on the subject of the 50th anniversary. It's probably safe to assume that there will be some sort of special in November 2013, but so far we don't know what it will be, whether it'll be part of Series 7, part of Series 8, or a stand-alone special, or even whether it'll be an episode or a documentary or something else. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 23:22, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
 
The 50th anniversary itself is a Saturday, so it would cause adverse comment (to put it mildly) if there were not an episode on the day. That doesn't mean, of course, that there couldn't be other celebrations, too, either on that date or at other times during the year. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.69.1|89.242.69.1]]<sup>[[User talk:89.242.69.1#top|talk to me]]</sup> 23:38, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

The Night of the Doctor[[edit source]]

Should The Night of the Doctor be considered part of this run or Series 8? Silent Hunter UK 19:28, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

No "doctor2" in this series[[edit source]]

For those who think that the War Doctor should be added to the infobox in the "doctor2" field, here is an explanation why it must not be done:

The doctor2 variable is only for Doctors who actually had a solo adventure in [the] year. Thus, there is no doctor2 in season 10, season 20, or season 22, but there is one in season 21 and season 4. The doctor2 should be considered the one that has the minority of episodes in the season. So in season 4, doctor2 is the First Doctor.Documentation for the Infobox Series template [Template:Infobox Series [src]]

Please do not use this field of the infobox. Amorkuz 22:15, July 1, 2018 (UTC)

There is another minisode, based during Series 7B. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EONO8pUP-9s
