'''Series 6''' of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ran from [[25 December (releases)|25 December]] [[2010 (releases)|2010]] to [[22 November (releases)|22 November]] [[2011 (releases)|2011]]. It starred [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Karen Gillan]] as [[Amy Pond]] and [[Arthur Darvill]] as [[Rory Williams]]. The regular series was preceded by {{cs|A Christmas Carol (TV story)}}, opened with {{cs|The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)}} and concluded with {{cs|The Wedding of River Song (TV story)}}.


==Cast==
== Overview ==
It has been confirmed that [[Matt Smith]] will return as the [[Eleventh Doctor]]<ref name="2011 confirmed"/>. Producers also confirmed that [[Karen Gillan]] will return as [[Amy Pond]]<ref name="broadcastnow">[http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/broadcasters/bbc/matt-smith-confirmed-for-more-doctor-who/5011933.article Broadcast - Matt Smith confirmed for more Doctor Who] <small>accessed 10th may 2010</small></ref> and Arthur Darvill will stay for the full series as [[Rory Williams]], the first male companion to do so since [[1975]]. Alex Kingston will also return as River Song, with her character revealing her true identity to the Doctor.
It consisted of twelve stories and fourteen episodes. This series was the first since [[Season 26 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 26]] to not introduce any new lead cast members; [[Matt Smith]] continued on as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], still joined by [[Karen Gillan]]'s [[Amy Pond]] and [[Arthur Darvill]]'s [[Rory Williams]], from the [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|previous series]]. This series was split into two parts and dealt with overarching elements such as [[the Silence]], the identity of [[River Song]] and the Doctor's [[22 April|death]] at [[Lake Silencio]].

*[[River Song]] - [[Alex Kingston]]


===Guest cast===
For the first time since the 1970s, the version of the series syndicated outside the UK contained a major difference: the opening credits of most episodes of Series 6 broadcast in Canada, US, Australia, Germany and Israel were preceded by a special introductory narration by Karen Gillan (as Amy Pond) explaining the concept of the series, with footage taken from Series 5 episodes.

The story arc of this series involves [[River Song]]'s [[Melody Pond|true identity]], revelations of the mysterious [[The Silence|Silence]] referenced in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]] and the apparent death of the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
*[[Captain (A Christmas Carol)|Captain]] - Pooky Quesnel
 
*[[Kazran Sardick]] - [[Michael Gambon]]
Series 6 began with the Eleventh Doctor inviting [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]] and River Song to a picnic in [[Utah]] using blue envelopes, where a figure clad in an Apollo spacesuit shoots the Doctor and kills him before he can regenerate. After burning the Doctor's body, the companions find the Doctor alive and well in a diner; the Doctor that was shot and killed was a future version, and he apparently invited his companions and past self to instigate a plan in [[1969]] [[America]]. The rest of the series makes references to the future Doctor's plan and his apparently final death.
*[[Abigail Pettigrew]] - [[Katherine Jenkins]]
 
*Co-Pilot - Micah Balfour
The Silence was also revealed in this series; they are a religious order dedicated to eliminating the Doctor before he can answer "[[the Question]]".
*Eric - Nick Malinowski
 
*Older Benjamin - Steve North
Finally, River Song's true identity was revealed, a mystery that has been present ever since her introduction in {{cs|Silence in the Library (TV story)}} in [[2008 (releases)|2008]]. Whilst there have subtle clues and plot points concerning a mysterious little girl, Amy's seemingly failed pregnancy and a [[Kovarian|lady with an eye patch]] throughout the first half of the series, the mystery was finally revealed in {{cs|A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)}}; River Song is Amy and Rory's daughter, raised and indoctrinated by the Silence for the sole purpose of assassinating the Doctor. Because she was conceived within [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] during flight she absorbed the energy of the [[Time Vortex]], making her [[human]], but with a [[Time Lord]]'s capability of regenerating. Her Time Lord-like physiology and abilities also made her the perfect assassin for the Doctor.
*Chief Servant - Tim Plester
*Mrs Rossiter - Leila Hoffman<ref>http://tardisspoilers.blogspot.com/2010/09/another-s6-casting.html</ref>
The series concluded with the final outcome of the Doctor's plan throughout the series; the spacesuit-clad figure who killed the Doctor was River Song, with the Silence-modified spacesuit forcing her to commit the deed. However, the Doctor had faked his own death and made it a [[fixed point in time]] in order to trick the Silence, getting them off his back at least for a while. Whilst most of the universe is convinced that the Doctor is dead once and for all, a handful of individuals including his companions know otherwise.
*Mrs Rossiter (China Doll) - Louise-Marie Bowmen<ref>http://www.uk.castingcallpro.com/view.php?uid=247819</ref>
 
*Mr. Purcell - Andrew Tiernan<ref>http://doctorwhospoilers.ueuo.com/wp/?p=912</ref>
However, there were still unresolved matters following the conclusion of the series; the Silence, whilst their numbers have fallen, are still present and they may still learn later that the Doctor was not killed. This series has also addressed a mystery that has been part of ''Doctor Who'' since its creation and one that head writer Steven Moffat has mentioned in at least two episodes ({{cs|The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)}} and {{cs|Forest of the Dead (TV story)}}). The oldest question in the Universe is revealed to be "Doctor who?"

Series 6 of Doctor Who ran from 25 December 2010 to 22 November 2011. It starred Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams. The regular series was preceded by A Christmas Carol [+]Loading...["A Christmas Carol (TV story)"], opened with The Impossible Astronaut [+]Loading...["The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)"] and concluded with The Wedding of River Song [+]Loading...["The Wedding of River Song (TV story)"].

You may wish to consult Series 6 for other, similarly-named pages.

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

It consisted of twelve stories and fourteen episodes. This series was the first since season 26 to not introduce any new lead cast members; Matt Smith continued on as the Eleventh Doctor, still joined by Karen Gillan's Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill's Rory Williams, from the previous series. This series was split into two parts and dealt with overarching elements such as the Silence, the identity of River Song and the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio.

DWM 419 confirmed that it had been commissioned by the BBC, and producer Piers Wenger also announced the same at the BBC Press Launch for series 5 in March 2010.

Filming began in July 2010, and concluded 29 April 2011.[1] The main run of this series was preceded by a 2010 Christmas special written by Steven Moffat, A Christmas Carol [+]Loading...["A Christmas Carol (TV story)"]. The series was split into two sections, with the first episode, The Impossible Astronaut [+]Loading...["The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)"], airing on 23 April 2011. It paused after the seventh episode, A Good Man Goes to War [+]Loading...["A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)"], was aired on 4 June 2011. The series picked up with the eighth episode, Let's Kill Hitler [+]Loading...["Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)"], on 27 August 2011 and ran through to the final, thirteenth episode, The Wedding of River Song [+]Loading...["The Wedding of River Song (TV story)"] on 1 October 2011. Short prequels were released on the Doctor Who website to publicise the series, the first time such brief productions had been made since the Tardisodes of series 2.

For the first time since the 1970s, the version of the series syndicated outside the UK contained a major difference: the opening credits of most episodes of Series 6 broadcast in Canada, US, Australia, Germany and Israel were preceded by a special introductory narration by Karen Gillan (as Amy Pond) explaining the concept of the series, with footage taken from Series 5 episodes.

The story arc of this series involves River Song's true identity, revelations of the mysterious Silence referenced in series 5 and the apparent death of the Eleventh Doctor.

Series 6 began with the Eleventh Doctor inviting Amy Pond, Rory Williams and River Song to a picnic in Utah using blue envelopes, where a figure clad in an Apollo spacesuit shoots the Doctor and kills him before he can regenerate. After burning the Doctor's body, the companions find the Doctor alive and well in a diner; the Doctor that was shot and killed was a future version, and he apparently invited his companions and past self to instigate a plan in 1969 America. The rest of the series makes references to the future Doctor's plan and his apparently final death.

The Silence was also revealed in this series; they are a religious order dedicated to eliminating the Doctor before he can answer "the Question".

Finally, River Song's true identity was revealed, a mystery that has been present ever since her introduction in Silence in the Library [+]Loading...["Silence in the Library (TV story)"] in 2008. Whilst there have subtle clues and plot points concerning a mysterious little girl, Amy's seemingly failed pregnancy and a lady with an eye patch throughout the first half of the series, the mystery was finally revealed in A Good Man Goes to War [+]Loading...["A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)"]; River Song is Amy and Rory's daughter, raised and indoctrinated by the Silence for the sole purpose of assassinating the Doctor. Because she was conceived within the TARDIS during flight she absorbed the energy of the Time Vortex, making her human, but with a Time Lord's capability of regenerating. Her Time Lord-like physiology and abilities also made her the perfect assassin for the Doctor.

The series concluded with the final outcome of the Doctor's plan throughout the series; the spacesuit-clad figure who killed the Doctor was River Song, with the Silence-modified spacesuit forcing her to commit the deed. However, the Doctor had faked his own death and made it a fixed point in time in order to trick the Silence, getting them off his back at least for a while. Whilst most of the universe is convinced that the Doctor is dead once and for all, a handful of individuals including his companions know otherwise.

However, there were still unresolved matters following the conclusion of the series; the Silence, whilst their numbers have fallen, are still present and they may still learn later that the Doctor was not killed. This series has also addressed a mystery that has been part of Doctor Who since its creation and one that head writer Steven Moffat has mentioned in at least two episodes (The Girl in the Fireplace [+]Loading...["The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)"] and Forest of the Dead [+]Loading...["Forest of the Dead (TV story)"]). The oldest question in the Universe is revealed to be "Doctor who?"
