Notes

  • During an interview with Neil Gaiman on BBC breakfast he revealed that his episode is "Very spooky" and that fans "Are likely to be biting their nails off by the end".
  • Steven Moffat has said that the Christmas Special will be the most " Christmassy Christmas special ever." and " We're going for broke with this one. It's all your favourite Christmas movies at once, in an hour, with monsters and the Doctor and a honeymoon and – oh, you'll see. I've honestly never been so excited about writing anything. I was laughing madly as I typed along to Christmas songs in April. My neighbours loved it so much they all moved away and set up a website demanding my execution. But I'm fairly sure they did it ironically."
  • Controller of drama commissioning Ben Stephenson revealed that the episode, which guest stars Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins, will be based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novel A Christmas Carol. [47]
  • On August 20th 2010, The One Show on BBC1 showed a behind the scenes picture from the Christmas special for five seconds, confirming that there would be snow.
  • Karen Gillan confirmed that viewers would get to see a glimpse of Amy and Rory's honeymoon in the Christmas Special.[48]
  • On his blog, writer Neil Gaiman released a short conversation between Amy and the Doctor that did not meet the final cut in the episode wrote, also confirming that he had finished it. [49]

Rumours

  • The Sun published a rumour that Matt Smith would leave after the 2011 series [50], a rumour which was picked up by several other media sources [51][52]. This has been denied by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan[53] Another BBC insider said that Smith will stay until the 50th anniversary of the show, in 2013.[54]
  • It has been rumoured that Karen Gillan is leaving the series and Amy Pond will be killed off at the climax to the spring half of the series.[55]
  • The Daily Star has reported that the villain for the christmas special has been confirmed by the BBC to be a CGI "Flying Shark". [56] This looks more positive now filming pictures have emerged from filming showing a door with a bite mark in [57] and a model sculpture of what appears to be a CGI Shark's head [58].
  • The Sun published a statement by Matt Smith that he was being measured for a new outfit.[59] He was later seen on set donning a new tweed jacket, and there were no major changes to the outfit, though the elbow patches were gone.[60]
  • It has been rumoured that Series 6 will be broadcast in the Autumn of 2011 rather than the spring. This is false as it was later proved that one half of the series will be shown in spring and the other in autumn.
  • There are numerous rumours about Neil Gaimans story being set in a giant doll's house[61][62] this also seems more likely due to the previous title of his story being named "The House of Nothing". There will also be another 2 earlier stories, one with an Egypt theme [63][64] and another possibly set in an Ice Base. [65]
  • The Doctor will pose as The Ghost of Christmas Past.[66]
  • River Song will be "killed off", even though she died in Forest of the Dead.[67]
