Real World

Warning! Spoilers. This page contains spoilers with plot and/or ending details about episodes which have not yet been broadcast. Caution is advised.

• The fifth series of Doctor Who is scheduled for broadcast on the BBC this year, consisting of 13 episodes with Steven Moffat taking over from Russell T Davies as executive producer, and Matt Smith taking over the role of the Doctor from David Tennant. Filming for the season began in July 2009, and is expected to carry over into 2010 per the precedent of previous seasons. Although precedent holds that the new season will likely air starting in the spring of 2010 (possibly March or April), until the BBC announces an actual date, this cannot be confirmed. There have also been media reports that the 2010 season may be split into two halves due to conflicts with coverage of the FIFA World Cup; as of September 2009, this too can only be seen as conjecture. It is also not yet known whether a Christmas special will be commissioned for 2010.
• Related to the above, international broadcasters such as BBC America in the US and Space in Canada are also expected to broadcast Series 5 in 2010, however scheduling is not possible until the BBC confirms its broadcast plans.
• Series 5 will introduce (among other expected changes), a new Doctor Who logo, although the logo itself had been unveiled in October 2009.
• Assuming it is renewed, production of Series 6 of Doctor Who will presumably begin in the second half of 2010, for broadcast in 2011.
• BBC America is expected to broadcast the final three David Tennant specials at some point after their UK showing, meaning likely early 2010.[1]
