DWM digestion
I got my new copy of Doctor Who Magazine on the way back from work today and here is the new series 6 stuff from it:
Firstly, the Episodes are now changing order:
1&2: Steven Moffat [1960’s America]
3: Steve Thompson (the other guy who wrote for Sherlock)
4: Neil Gaiman
5&6: Matthew Graham’s Rebel Flesh\Gangers
7: Steven Moffat [Cliffhanger]
8: Steve Moffat [Conclusion of Cliffhanger]
9: Mark Gatiss
The reason for this is apparently there was not enough outside and too many torches in the original run of seven
The most curious thing however is that this year they apparently can change the episode order, whilst last year they could not due to Rory’s varying statuses. Apparently indicating they’ll all remain pretty much the same as before until the finale, however...
Plus there are lots of little hints of spoilers:
Episodes 1&2: According to Matt, the monsters may even be scarier the the Weeping Angels, particularly in terms of concept, which is clever and evolved. Plus the way they dress is very interesting.
According to Karen, the monsters are the scariest ones yet, physically and just what it does. There is something about them which feels almost undefeatable. This story as about dark as Doctor Who has ever been, proper full-on scary, dark, dramatic.
Episodes 5&6: dodging pools of acid and battling the rise of a new life form known only as...
& here is an interesting section of the interview with Matt:
Matt Smith:There's an great twist in Episodes 5 and 6 [Blocked for huge spoilers]
Benjamin Cook: Literally?!
Matt Smith: Yes! She [Blocked for more huge spoilers]
Episode 7: Moffat was so worried about the cliffhanger being revealed he has sent out different endings on all the scripts so it doesn’t get spoiled. [Which I think means we can prepare for some pretty insane internet rumours fairly shortly
Overall: Rory and Amy have many interesting beats
Moffat only tells the actors what their characters would know right up until the script read through. Therefore Alex knows pretty much everything, Karen knows some things and Matt knows nothing.
Moffat did tell Alex exactly what to whisper into David's ear in Silence in the Library but they are sworn to secrecy.
Amy is going to be involved in many things this seasons, one of which is the most traumatic thing.
Other: Karen has been doing some research for another job she has coming up but she is not allowed to say anything about it.
