'''Series 5''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran from [[3 April (releases)|3 April]] [[2010 (releases)|2010]] to [[26 June (releases)|26 June]] 2010. It starred [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Karen Gillan]] as [[Amy Pond]] and [[Arthur Darvill]] as [[Rory Williams]]. The series opened with {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}} and concluded with {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}}.


{{pre-broadcast spoiler}}
== Overview ==
It consisted of ten stories and thirteen episodes. With the start of this series, the show was now helmed by new [[head writer]] [[Steven Moffat]].


=== New production team ===
[[File:Doctor_Who_Producers_Landscape.jpg|thumb|right|[[Beth Willis]], [[Steven Moffat]] and [[Piers Wenger]] in a publicity shot for Series 5.]]
[[Executive producer]] and head writer [[Russell T Davies]] and executive producer [[Julie Gardner]] officially left production on ''Doctor Who'' at the end of filming of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 4]]'s special episodes in 2009. Their last story, {{cs|The End of Time (TV story)}}, aired on 25 December 2009 and 1 January 2010. In May [[2008 (releases)|2008]], [[Steven Moffat]], a multi [[Hugo Award]] winning ''Doctor Who'' writer for this outgoing production era, was announced as the ''Doctor Who'' head writer and executive producer.


[[Image:Who Logo Eleven.JPG|center|250px]]
Although he was not involved with the fifth series or any series involving Moffat as head writer, Davies returned to the series when he became head writer of the [[2023 specials]], having also written episodes of spin-off shows ''[[Torchwood (series)|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', along with involvement in the ''[[Doctor Who: Lockdown!]]'' event and the 2018 revival of the [[Target novelisation]]s, during Moffat and [[Chris Chibnall]]'s eras on ''Doctor Who''.
'''Series 5''', also known as '''Season 31''' for clarity over [[Season 5]], will begin in Spring [[2010]]. Following the [[2009 Specials (Doctor Who)|2009 Specials]], there will be a full 13-episode season to be broadcast; filming began in July [[2009]].  


According to Issue 410 of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', the BBC intends to begin the numbering of seasons over again to reflect the change of production team; thus, as far as the BBC is concerned, the 2010 season will not be known as Series 5, but rather, once again, Series 1.<ref>"New Companion Confirmed!", ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' #410 (22nd July 2009), p.5</ref> What this may mean for marketing and availability of the 2005 to 2008 seasons (particularly the previous "[[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]]" starring [[Christopher Eccleston]]) remains to be seen. A December 2009 announcement by the BBC regarding the show filming in [[Croatia]] also refers to the upcoming season as Series 1.<ref>[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/12/series-one-in-croatia.html "Series One in Croatia"], The Doctor Who News Page, 1 December 2009</ref>
Moffat stated that no characters from the first Russell T Davies era would return in series 5.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com.au/british-tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a210070/no-past-characters-in-new-doctor-who.html|title="No past characters" in new 'Doctor Who'|author= Mayer Nissim| date of source=Tuesday, March 23 2010| website name=Digital Spy|accessdate=2nd August 2011}}</ref> This did not prove entirely true. [[River Song]], a Moffat-created character from the Russell T Davies era, returned in four episodes of this series.


In the spring of 2008, it was announced that [[Steven Moffat]], who has written Hugo Award-winning or nominated scripts for the revived series in each of its first four seasons and whose association with ''Doctor Who'' dates back to his writing of the [[Comic Relief]] parody ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'' in the early 1990s, will succeed [[Russell T Davies]] as head writer and producer of the series.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/production/080520_news_01 Official website's bulletin about Steven Moffat's accession]</ref> Davies has announced he will officially retire from involvement with the series after the 2009 specials are completed and at present has no plans to retain any direct connection to the series once Moffat's tenure begins. <ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/07/11/nosplit/bvtvwho11.xml BBC News] Q&A session with RTD. 4 July 2008.</ref> However, Davies has announced that he plans to remain involved with production of ''[[Torchwood]]'' for the foreseeable future, and hopes to see further crossovers with ''Doctor Who'', indicating he may not completely sever his ties with the parent show.<ref>[http://www.denofgeek.com/television/266944/torchwood_series_4_ready_to_go.html Den of Geek: Torchwood Series 4 'Ready to Go'], accessed 26th July 2009.</ref>
Gardner was replaced by her successor as [[BBC Wales]] [[Head of Drama]], [[Piers Wenger]]. [[Beth Willis]] was added as a third executive producer — giving the show three execs for the first time since [[Mal Young]] left at the end of [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 1]]. The line [[producer]] of the series — a position once held by [[Phil Collinson]] — was split between [[Tracie Simpson]] and [[Peter Bennett]], two members of the production staff who had risen to prominence during "the specials". For the first time since 2005, the series also credited a [[co-producer]], [[Patrick Schweitzer]], for episodes 6 and 10, the two episodes filmed in [[Croatia]]. Other senior members of the production staff, such as [[production designer]] [[Edward Thomas|Ed Thomas]] and composer [[Murray Gold]] remained at their posts.


Also departing at the end of 2009 is co-executive producer [[Julie Gardner]]. She will be replaced by [[Piers Wenger]]. [[Beth Willis]] replaces Phil Collinson as the third executive producer.  
Several departments underwent big changes beginning with {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}}. [[director of photography|Directors of photography]] [[Rory Taylor]] and [[Ernie Vincze]] — who between them had fairly evenly split responsibilities since [[2005]] — left, along with Davies and Gardner. They were replaced by a series of individuals, each handling only one or two episodes of the series.


During his acceptance speech for the award for Best Drama Performance at the National Television Awards on 29 October 2008, [[David Tennant]] announced that he would not return for the 5th series. On 3 January 2009, during a special episode of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' entitled "The Eleventh Doctor", the BBC announced that [[Matt Smith]] would be playing the [[Eleventh Doctor]].<ref>BBC: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7808697.stm New Doctor actor is youngest ever]</ref>
The costume department came under the leadership of [[Ray Holman]], who replaced [[Louise Page]], the longest-serving designer since the [[William Hartnell|Hartnell]] era [[costumes|costumer]] [[Daphne Dare]]. The change, however, was not just the replacement of one individual with another, as Holman brought in members of his design company to fill junior positions in the costume department.
[[File:Mattsmithcostume.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith.]]


==Cast==
Series 5 also saw a subtler behind-the-scenes change, especially for the more junior members of the production team. Combined with the general economic downturn that saw an across-the-board cut in jobs, it was also the first year since 2004 that ''Torchwood'' was not in some stage of production at BBC Wales. This meant there was some job competition at the [[Upper Boat Studios]]. Some long-term members of staff left the studios completely, while others took effective reductions in rank to remain. [[Arwel Wyn Jones]], for instance, went from being the [[supervising art director]] for the previous two series to alternating [[set decorator|set decorating]] duties with [[Julian Luxton]]. Still, others remained in Wales, but shifted to Moffat's other Welsh production, ''[[Sherlock]]'', or found placement on {{wi|Merlin (TV series)|Merlin}}, {{wi|Being Human (British TV series)|Being Human}} or other BBC Wales programmes.


===Primary Cast===
=== Series numbering ===
*[[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] - [[Matt Smith]]
While [[DWM 410|issue 410]] of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' initially reported that the series' numbering would be reset to series 1 like [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|the first Russell T Davies series]] had done before,<ref>"New Companion Confirmed!", [[DWM 410|''Doctor Who Magazine'' #410]] (22nd July 2009), p.5</ref> by the time of the DVD, Blu-ray, and soundtrack releases, this series was officially known by [[2 entertain|2|entertain]] and [[Silva Screen Records]]' cover design as series 5, with the following series being [[Series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 6]], and so on. {{as of|2023|11}}, [[BBC iPlayer]] officially listed this series as series 5 of "''Doctor Who'' (2005–2022)".
*[[Amy Pond]] - [[Karen Gillan]]


===Confirmed Guest Stars===
=== New TARDIS team ===
*[[River Song]] - [[Alex Kingston]]  
During his acceptance speech for the award for Best Drama Performance at the National Television Awards on 29 October 2008, [[David Tennant]] announced that he would not return for the fifth series. His successor, [[Matt Smith]], was announced as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] on 3 January 2009 during a broadcast of a special episode of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' entitled ''[[The Eleventh Doctor (CON episode)|The Eleventh Doctor]]''.<ref>BBC: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7808697.stm New Doctor actor is youngest ever]</ref> [[Karen Gillan]] was cast as the Eleventh Doctor's companion, [[Amy Pond]].

=== Enemies/Aliens ===
=== New icons ===
*[[Dalek]]s
In addition to the cast and crew changes, many of the other continuing elements of the show also underwent major redesigns at the start of the series. Most conspicuous was the [[6 October (production)|6 October]] [[2009 (production)|2009]] unveiling of a new [[Doctor Who logo|series logo]] — the first significant departure from the one that debuted on {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}. Likewise, the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] itself got a noticeable exterior and radical interior make-over. British tabloid media reported the switch was due to the show's switch to high-definition production,<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/4926350/Dr-Who-Tardis-to-get-interior-makeover.html Dr Who Tardis to get makeover]</ref> although ''Doctor Who'' had already started broadcasting in HD since April of that year.
*[[Weeping Angel]]s
*Vampire like humanoids in tudor dress
*Armed reptilians


==Production==
[[File:DW-Logo-2010.png|thumb|The logo for Series 5 as it was originally unveiled in late 2009 and as it is used on merchandise]]
===Writers===
A new [[Doctor Who theme|''Doctor Who'' theme]] arrangement was introduced, replacing the version introduced for the 2007 Christmas special. Like that version and variations of the theme introduced in {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, [[Ron Grainer]]'s theme was arranged by [[Murray Gold]].
Aside from Steven Moffat, who is writing six episodes of the season: other confirmed writers for Series 5 are:
*[[Richard Curtis]], best known for co-creating and writing the ''Blackadder'' series for [[Rowan Atkinson]] and for writing films such as ''Four Weddings and a Funeral''.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8244450.stm BBC News: Curtis to pen Doctor Who episode]</ref>
*[[Phillip Pullman]], writer of The Dark Materials book series.


====Notes====
== Cast ==
*After Moffat was announced as new show-runner, speculation began to appear in the media about possible writers for Series 5. The most frequently published speculation is that Moffat had discussed the matter with noted fantasy author and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman, although as of late November 2009 there has been no indication that Gaiman will actually write an episode.
* [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] - [[Matt Smith]]
<!---Please do not add Neil Gaiman or any other names. Around 30 September 2009 a list supposedly of Series 5 writers was circulated, including Gaiman and others. Gaiman has denied he is writing an episode. Only after the BBC or reputable media (i.e. Doctor Who Magazine) confirms should additional names be added here.-->
* [[Amy Pond]] - [[Karen Gillan]], [[Caitlin Blackwood]]
*No details regarding possible storylines have been revealed, although given the events of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|Series 4]] there is widespread speculation about the possible return of [[Jenny]] (a character Moffat is known to have prevented from being killed off). The return of River Song appears to have been confirmed as British media published photos showing [[Alex Kingston]] filming scenes for the 2010 series. At the 2008 San Diego Comic Con, Moffat claimed that he had only started writing the season on the plane en route to the convention<ref>Zap2It.com: [http://blog.zap2it.com/scifi/2008/07/funny-business.html Funny business for 'Doctor Who' and 'Torchwood' at Comic-Con]</ref>.
* [[Rory Williams]] - [[Arthur Darvill]]


===Filming===
=== Recurring ===
* The BBC has confirmed that at least one episode will be filmed in [[Croatia]].<ref>[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/12/series-one-in-croatia.html "Series One in Croatia"], The Doctor Who News Page, 1 December 2009</ref>
* [[Atraxi]] - [[David de Keyser]]
*It was confirmed in DWM that this series will be known as series 1 from a '''production''' standpoint; it is unknown what it will be publicly known as, though it will likely be series 5 in order to avoid confusion with the fairly recent series 1.
* [[Elizabeth X|Liz 10]] - [[Sophie Okonedo]]
*A number of websites have reported a rumor that the BBC is considering splitting Series 5 into two halves, the first half to air in the spring of 2010, and the second half to air later in the year.<ref>[http://scifipulse.net/?p=9028 SciFiPulse.net: Will the Beeb Split Season 5 of Doctor Who in Two?], 7 June 2009, accessed 2 August 2009.</ref>
* [[Winston Churchill]] - [[Ian McNeice]]
*According to the online resume of one of the show's crewpeople, part of one episode has been filmed in Croatia.<ref>[http://www.johnbennett.uk.com/uploaded_files/JOHN%20BENNETT%20%20CV.pdf John Bennett CV (PDF file)]</ref>
* [[Edwin Bracewell]] - [[Bill Paterson]]
*Soon after production began on Series 5, images of the new cast on location began to appear in the British media, revealing the Eleventh Doctor's costume, and apparent exterior changes to the TARDIS (most notably the reinstatement of a St. John Ambulance logo which once adorned the TARDIS during the [[First Doctor]] era. The media also revealed in July 2009 that [[Alex Kingston]] will again portray [[River Song]]. <ref>[http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2544807/Filming-begins-on-new-Doctor-Who.html Filming begins on new Who]</ref> It was later said that she will appear in two episodes. <ref>[http://www.digitalspy.com/cult/a166258/alex-kingston-returns-to-doctor-who.html Alex Kingston returns to 'Doctor Who']</ref> Given the out-of-order nature of filming on ''Doctor Who'', however, it is not yet known where in the season these episodes will be placed.

==Series Changes==
== Production ==
*On 6th October 2009, the BBC unveiled a new [[Doctor Who logo|series logo]] which will be launched with Series 5.
{{section stub}}
* It is speculated that the opening credits/theme arrangement will be changed. The introduction of a new series logo increases the likelihood of this occurring, but the BBC has yet to officially confirm such a change.
=== Crew ===
*British tabloid media have reported rumours that Moffat plans a "radical redesign" of the TARDIS interior, both to mark the new era and also because of the show's switch to high-definition production.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/4926350/Dr-Who-Tardis-to-get-interior-makeover.html Dr Who Tardis to get makeover]</ref>

==Confirmed Rumours==
==== Writers ====
* [[Richard Curtis]] has confirmed that Series 5 (Series 1) will be broadcast in February 2010 and that he is to pen an episode featuring [[Vincent van Gogh]] stabbing a yellow monster".<ref>http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s7/doctorwho/news/a181313/curtis-reveals-who-episode-details.html</ref>
''to be added''
* In [[DWM Issue 397]], [[Steven Moffat]] wrote the "Production Notes" feature. This consisted mainly of an anecdote about how he became the head writer but he also touched upon his plans for Series 5. In particular he wrote "[[Piers Wenger]] and I are hard at work on Series 5. I can tell you nothing of our plans (except, obviously, THEY'RE BACK!)". Some have interpreted "they" to refer to the [[Time Lord]]s, who had been "killed off" as a race during the Davies era. However, others have interpreted this as simply referring to the [[Dalek]]s, who have become notorious for returning at least once a series since the revival. In a radio interview on 15th December 2009, Steven Moffat confirmed the return of the [[Weeping Angel]]; whether these are the species in question that are back is unknown.
**It could well mean Time Lords as they were brought back in [[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]. Yet killed off near the end so it may just be reffering to the [[Daleks]] return.
* The speculation as to whether "They're back" refers to the Time Lords may intensify with the announcement in September 2009 of a ''[[Blue Peter]]'' contest in which entrants are being asked to design "'''a''' TARDIS console" to be used within the series, which could be interpreted as referring to a TARDIS other than the Doctor's.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/2009/wk40/tue.shtml BBC Press Announcement]</ref> At the time of the contest's launch in early October, however, the contest description suggested that the console should look like "something the Doctor put together" suggesting a different storyline possibility.<ref>[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-details-of-blue-peter-contest.html Doctor Who News Page: More Details of Blue Peter Contest]</ref>
* Daleks, Weeping Angels and Vampires are confirmed aliens in the series. They were seen in the trailer for Series 5.

You may wish to consult Series 5 for other, similarly-named pages.

Series 5 of Doctor Who ran from 3 April 2010 to 26 June 2010. It starred Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams. The series opened with The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"] and concluded with The Big Bang [+]Loading...["The Big Bang (TV story)"].

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

It consisted of ten stories and thirteen episodes. With the start of this series, the show was now helmed by new head writer Steven Moffat.

New production team[[edit] | [edit source]]

Beth Willis, Steven Moffat and Piers Wenger in a publicity shot for Series 5.

Executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies and executive producer Julie Gardner officially left production on Doctor Who at the end of filming of series 4's special episodes in 2009. Their last story, The End of Time [+]Loading...["The End of Time (TV story)"], aired on 25 December 2009 and 1 January 2010. In May 2008, Steven Moffat, a multi Hugo Award winning Doctor Who writer for this outgoing production era, was announced as the Doctor Who head writer and executive producer.

Although he was not involved with the fifth series or any series involving Moffat as head writer, Davies returned to the series when he became head writer of the 2023 specials, having also written episodes of spin-off shows Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, along with involvement in the Doctor Who: Lockdown! event and the 2018 revival of the Target novelisations, during Moffat and Chris Chibnall's eras on Doctor Who.

Moffat stated that no characters from the first Russell T Davies era would return in series 5.[1] This did not prove entirely true. River Song, a Moffat-created character from the Russell T Davies era, returned in four episodes of this series.

Gardner was replaced by her successor as BBC Wales Head of Drama, Piers Wenger. Beth Willis was added as a third executive producer — giving the show three execs for the first time since Mal Young left at the end of Series 1. The line producer of the series — a position once held by Phil Collinson — was split between Tracie Simpson and Peter Bennett, two members of the production staff who had risen to prominence during "the specials". For the first time since 2005, the series also credited a co-producer, Patrick Schweitzer, for episodes 6 and 10, the two episodes filmed in Croatia. Other senior members of the production staff, such as production designer Ed Thomas and composer Murray Gold remained at their posts.

Several departments underwent big changes beginning with The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"]. Directors of photography Rory Taylor and Ernie Vincze — who between them had fairly evenly split responsibilities since 2005 — left, along with Davies and Gardner. They were replaced by a series of individuals, each handling only one or two episodes of the series.

The costume department came under the leadership of Ray Holman, who replaced Louise Page, the longest-serving designer since the Hartnell era costumer Daphne Dare. The change, however, was not just the replacement of one individual with another, as Holman brought in members of his design company to fill junior positions in the costume department.

Series 5 also saw a subtler behind-the-scenes change, especially for the more junior members of the production team. Combined with the general economic downturn that saw an across-the-board cut in jobs, it was also the first year since 2004 that Torchwood was not in some stage of production at BBC Wales. This meant there was some job competition at the Upper Boat Studios. Some long-term members of staff left the studios completely, while others took effective reductions in rank to remain. Arwel Wyn Jones, for instance, went from being the supervising art director for the previous two series to alternating set decorating duties with Julian Luxton. Still, others remained in Wales, but shifted to Moffat's other Welsh production, Sherlock, or found placement on Merlin, Being Human or other BBC Wales programmes.

Series numbering[[edit] | [edit source]]

While issue 410 of Doctor Who Magazine initially reported that the series' numbering would be reset to series 1 like the first Russell T Davies series had done before,[2] by the time of the DVD, Blu-ray, and soundtrack releases, this series was officially known by 2|entertain and Silva Screen Records' cover design as series 5, with the following series being series 6, and so on. As of November 2023, BBC iPlayer officially listed this series as series 5 of "Doctor Who (2005–2022)".

New TARDIS team[[edit] | [edit source]]

During his acceptance speech for the award for Best Drama Performance at the National Television Awards on 29 October 2008, David Tennant announced that he would not return for the fifth series. His successor, Matt Smith, was announced as the Eleventh Doctor on 3 January 2009 during a broadcast of a special episode of Doctor Who Confidential entitled The Eleventh Doctor.[3] Karen Gillan was cast as the Eleventh Doctor's companion, Amy Pond.

New icons[[edit] | [edit source]]

In addition to the cast and crew changes, many of the other continuing elements of the show also underwent major redesigns at the start of the series. Most conspicuous was the 6 October 2009 unveiling of a new series logo — the first significant departure from the one that debuted on Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]. Likewise, the TARDIS itself got a noticeable exterior and radical interior make-over. British tabloid media reported the switch was due to the show's switch to high-definition production,[4] although Doctor Who had already started broadcasting in HD since April of that year.

A new Doctor Who theme arrangement was introduced, replacing the version introduced for the 2007 Christmas special. Like that version and variations of the theme introduced in Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Ron Grainer's theme was arranged by Murray Gold.
