}}'''Series 7''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', sometimes known as '''Season 33''' to avoid confusion with the original [[Season 7]], was broadcast on [[BBC One]] between [[2012 (releases)|2012]] and [[2013 (releases)|2013]]. Like [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]], it was split into two parts. The BBC first announced the new series, which contained fourteen episodes, on the official ''Doctor Who'' site on [[8 June (production)|8 June]] [[2011 (production)|2011]].

'''Series 7''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran from [[6 December (releases)|6 December]] [[2011 (releases)|2011]] to [[24 September (releases)|24 September]] [[2013 (releases)|2013]]. It starred [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Karen Gillan]] as [[Amy Pond]], [[Arthur Darvill]] as [[Rory Williams]] and [[Jenna Coleman]] as [[Clara Oswald]]. The regular series was preceded by {{cs|The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (TV story)}}, opened with {{cs|Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)}} and concluded with {{cs|The Name of the Doctor (TV story)}}, with the gap between parts one and two of the series being bridged by {{cs|The Snowmen (TV story)}}.


Series 7 began its run on [[1 September (releases)|1 September]] 2012 with five regular, stand-alone episodes which aired between 1 September 2012 and [[29 September (releases)|29 September]] 2012 and a [[Christmas special]]. These were followed by the remaining eight episodes, which aired between [[30 March (releases)|30 March]] 2013 and [[18 May (releases)|18 May]] 2013.  
== Overview ==
 
It consisted of fifteen stories and episodes. This series was broadcast on [[BBC One]] between [[2012 (releases)|2012]] and [[2013 (releases)|2013]], and, like [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 6]], it was split into two parts. The BBC first announced the new series, which contained fourteen episodes, on the official ''Doctor Who'' site on [[8 June (production)|8 June]] [[2011 (production)|2011]] It was followed by a series of [[2013 specials]], in honour of the programme's 50th anniversary. This was the last full series with Matt Smith's [[Eleventh Doctor]].
Series 7 was followed by the mini-episodes ''[[The Night of the Doctor]]'' and ''[[The Last Day]]'', the former of which saw [[Paul McGann]] return as the [[Eighth Doctor]] and marked the formal debut of [[John Hurt]] as the [[War Doctor]]. These stories led up to the premiere of the fiftieth anniversary special for the series, ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'', where Hurt made his one and only full appearance as the War Doctor, and the origins of [[Christopher Eccleston]]'s [[Ninth Doctor]] were revealed. The anniversary special also featured an early cameo of [[Peter Capaldi]] as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] before his full debut, and the return of [[Tom Baker]] in another cameo role as the [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|Curator]]. Series 7's story arc was brought to a close with the 2013 [[Christmas special]], ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]'', [[Matt Smith]]'s final story as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and Peter Capaldi's entrance as the new Twelfth Doctor.


== Overview ==
Series 7 has been described as being a series of "movies" squeezed into forty-five minutes, although {{cs|The Snowmen (TV story)}} was sixty minutes. The first half is about the Doctor deleting himself from the universe to hide from the deadly [[The Silence|Silence]], who attempted to assassinate him in [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 6]] to stop him from answering [[the Question]]. During this time, the Doctor regularly visits [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]] and also meets his grandfather-in-law [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian Williams]]. The Doctor meets his wife, [[River Song]], in the final episode of the first half of the series, which involved the Weeping Angels who separated him from Amy and Rory forever.

As established in ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', in ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'' and thousands of other encounters with the Doctor before, echoes of [[Clara Oswald]] were sent through time with the purpose of saving the Doctor, dying in at least the lives in ''Asylum'' and ''The Snowmen''. The Doctor, not knowing who Clara was, realised that both incarnations of her were the same woman and believed there would be more versions of her somewhere in the universe. He found and travelled with the original Clara from [[2013]], determined to solve the mystery of the "impossible girl". To save the Doctor from having his victories undone by the [[Great Intelligence]], Clara followed the Intelligence into the wound of the Doctor's timeline from his tomb on [[Trenzalore]], sacrificing herself to save the Doctor many times over.

== Cast ==
== Cast ==
[[Matt Smith]], continued to play the [[Eleventh Doctor]] throughout all of series 7.
[[Karen Gillan]], who played [[Amy Pond]], and [[Arthur Darvill]], who played Amy's husband [[Rory Williams]], returned for the first five episodes, departing in ''The Angels Take Manhattan''. This episode also featured [[River Song]], played by [[Alex Kingston]], who again returned for the season finale.
[[Jenna Coleman]] debuted as the original, 21st century version of [[Clara Oswald]], the Doctor's newest companion, from ''The Bells of Saint John''. Prior to this episode, echoes of Clara spread through time, known as Oswin Oswald in the [[Dalek Asylum]] and Clara Oswin Oswald in [[Victorian era|Victorian]] [[London]], appeared in ''Asylum of the Daleks'' and ''The Snowmen'' respectively, also played by Coleman, and dying at the end of each story. Other versions of Clara existing at various prior eras of the show were also played by Coleman in ''The Name of the Doctor''.

=== Episode notes ===
=== Episode notes ===
* This is the first series in the [[BBC Wales]] era of Doctor Who not to begin in the spring. In fact, the show would not see a spring series premiere again until [[Series 10 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 10]].
* The [[BBC]] justified the decision to split the series into two blocks starting in the fall by citing [[Steven Moffat]]'s commitments to Sherlock as well as the upcoming [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|50th anniversary]]. Steven Moffat disputed this, insisting that Sherlock had nothing to do with the decision.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/jun/16/doctor-who-bbc1-2012 Guardian Article]</ref>
* This is the first series to have special "movie" posters made featuring titles, cast and credits.
* This is the first series to have special "movie" posters made featuring titles, cast and credits.
* For the first time in ''Doctor Who'', this series had no two-parters in it. ''Asylum of the Daleks'' through ''The Angels Take Manhattan'' form a loose story arc involving Amy and Rory, whereas the mystery of Clara is a background arc contained in the remaining episodes of the season.

* This is the second series of Doctor Who in which all the stories have the same number of episodes, the first being [[season 18]].
* Series 7 stands as one of only three seasons in ''Doctor Who'' history in which each story of the season has consisted of the same number of episodes - with this series consisting entirely of one parters - the others being [[Season 18 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 18]], with entirely four-part serials, and [[Series 11 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 11]], with one-parters. If the unfinished ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'' is discounted, then this number is raised to four, with [[Season 17 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 17]] also entirely consisting of four-part serials.
* During Series 7, Matt Smith appeared as the Doctor in a non-canonical spoof titled ''[[One Born Every Minute]]'', aired on 15 March 2013 as part of the annual [[Comic Relief]] appeal.

Series 7 of Doctor Who ran from 6 December 2011 to 24 September 2013. It starred Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. The regular series was preceded by The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe [+]Loading...["The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (TV story)"], opened with Asylum of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)"] and concluded with The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"], with the gap between parts one and two of the series being bridged by The Snowmen [+]Loading...["The Snowmen (TV story)"].

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

It consisted of fifteen stories and episodes. This series was broadcast on BBC One between 2012 and 2013, and, like Series 6, it was split into two parts. The BBC first announced the new series, which contained fourteen episodes, on the official Doctor Who site on 8 June 2011 It was followed by a series of 2013 specials, in honour of the programme's 50th anniversary. This was the last full series with Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor.

Series 7 has been described as being a series of "movies" squeezed into forty-five minutes, although The Snowmen [+]Loading...["The Snowmen (TV story)"] was sixty minutes. The first half is about the Doctor deleting himself from the universe to hide from the deadly Silence, who attempted to assassinate him in series 6 to stop him from answering the Question. During this time, the Doctor regularly visits Amy Pond and Rory Williams and also meets his grandfather-in-law Brian Williams. The Doctor meets his wife, River Song, in the final episode of the first half of the series, which involved the Weeping Angels who separated him from Amy and Rory forever.

As established in The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"], in Asylum of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)"] and The Snowmen [+]Loading...["The Snowmen (TV story)"] and many other encounters with the Doctor before, echoes of Clara Oswald were sent through time with the purpose of saving the Doctor, dying in at least the lives in Asylum and The Snowmen. The Doctor, not knowing who Clara was, realised that both incarnations of her were the same woman and believed there would be more versions of her somewhere in the universe. He found and travelled with the original Clara from 2013, determined to solve the mystery of the "impossible girl". To save the Doctor from having his victories undone by the Great Intelligence, Clara followed the Intelligence into the wound of the Doctor's timeline from his tomb on Trenzalore, sacrificing herself to save the Doctor many times over, influencing the outcomes of his many battles, and even making sure he stole the right TARDIS from Gallifrey when he originally left.

Before the airing of series 7, it was announced that both Beth Willis and Piers Wenger would step down as executive producers.

Episode notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This is the first series in the BBC Wales era of Doctor Who not to begin in the spring. In fact, the show would not see a spring series premiere again until Series 10.
  • The BBC justified the decision to split the series into two blocks starting in the fall by citing Steven Moffat's commitments to Sherlock as well as the upcoming 50th anniversary. Steven Moffat disputed this, insisting that Sherlock had nothing to do with the decision.[6]
  • This is the first series to have special "movie" posters made featuring titles, cast and credits.
  • For the first time in Doctor Who, this series had no two-parters in it. Asylum of the Daleks through The Angels Take Manhattan form a loose story arc involving Amy and Rory, whereas the mystery of Clara is a background arc contained in the remaining episodes of the season.
  • Series 7 stands as one of only three seasons in Doctor Who history in which each story of the season has consisted of the same number of episodes - with this series consisting entirely of one parters - the others being Season 18, with entirely four-part serials, and Series 11, with one-parters. If the unfinished Shada is discounted, then this number is raised to four, with Season 17 also entirely consisting of four-part serials.
  • During Series 7, Matt Smith appeared as the Doctor in a spoof titled One Born Every Minute, aired on 15 March 2013 as part of the annual Comic Relief appeal.
  • The series had two opening sequences. From Asylum of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)"] to The Angels Take Manhattan [+]Loading...["The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)"], the opening sequence was the one used starting from The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"]. From The Snowmen [+]Loading...["The Snowmen (TV story)"], a different opening sequence was used and was used for the rest of Matt Smith's tenure.
