Doctor Who Could Go On Forever

Doctor Who could "go on forever" according to show supremo Steven Moffat.

He told an audience at the Edinburgh International Television Festival that the new series would be a "blockbuster".

Moffat said: "I truly believe it is a show that could outlive everyone in this room. I truly believe that. The TV show is the mother ship of Doctor Who and it will go on forever."

The new series which starts next month will see the Timelord, played by Matt Smith, take on his old enemies the Daleks and feature guest appearances by stars including Steven Berkoff and Jemma Redgrave.

It will also see the exit of his sidekicks Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan, and her on-screen husband Rory played by Arthur Darvill.

No More Gavin And Stacey

Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones said there are “no plans” to do another series of the show any time soon.

The Welsh writer and actress is currently filming a second series of her Sky show Stella and has signed on for a third series.

Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, she said reports the show was coming back started when her co-star James Corden was “misquoted”.

She said: “I think what he said was ’It would be a shame for me and Ruth not to write again together’ but there are no plans to do any more at the moment.

“He’s really busy, I’m really busy”.

Jones also said the idea of writing for the stage had “crossed” her mind, adding: “It frightens me a bit if I’m honest, maybe because it’s not the medium I’m familiar with as an actress”.
