Here is some news about Doctor Who 600 The Christmas Episode, some is rumour, some confirmed fact, but are subject to change, just in case a pinch of salt though please;Filming for the Christmas Special will begin July 12-16 in Swansea. The episode is written by Steven Moffat and will feature both a former cast member of British soap Eastenders and a Hollywood actor. There are also rumors of a big, big name playing a massive role, which likely describes one of those two other people. Silence, the major story arc of series 6, is mentioned at least once in the special, and we hear again from the voice first heard in the TARDIS during 512 The Pandorica Opens - apparently this voice still has some control of the TARDIS!The story was originally thought to be set in 1500s England, possibly involving Henry VIII. However, the lines about the Egyptian goddess and the Orient Express in space at the end of 513 The Big Bang were an absolute last minute addition, so they may represent the new direction for the special?There are rumors the special will have undertones of A Christmas Carol - something thats been rumored since at least The Runaway Bride - complete with a possible appearance by a past Doctor as the Ghost of Christmas Past! Those Doctors under consideration for this are supposedly Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, and David Tennant, which makes sense when you consider the other Doctors ages, appearances, or total unwillingness to ever have anything to do with the show ever again (and 3 of them are dead also). This may be nonsense anyway, but heres hoping for a little multi-Doctor Christmas goodness.Onto series six, Rory will remain the Doctors companion, and have loads more to do. Amy has a biiiig secret to get off her chest (nothing bad)! Obviously we are meant to think she is pregnant from this statement. Most importantly, River Song is definitely back, but with a big difference when we see her in series 6, it'll be the first time she meets the Doctor.And the confirmed writers for series 6 include; Steven Moffat, Neil Gaiman (probably Episode 3), Paul Cornell, Tom MacRae, Phil Ford (probably the non-Moffat two-parter), and Rob Shearman.Source.And remember the Yeti graphics for the Christmas show, here, I wouldn't worry about the silly missing script story though, these days everything is backed up :)Remember the pinch of salt for some of it please!This post started off on my blog - http://lifetheuniverseandcombom.blogspot.com - there are so many features on there that are not in the newsfeed, or posted elsewhere, you really need to check it out! Thanx!
