One Month Later - Doctor Who Series 4 Update

On the 23rd April we uploaded a blog post about Doctor Who Series 4. In the April podcast which was uploaded on the 15th April we discussed the same subject.

Now a month later, what new have we learnt?

The Series will have 7 episodes. Not 9
In our last Doctor Who blog post we said "Series 4 will have 5 to 6 episodes" but we have now decided that we will have 7 episodes and each episode already has a writer.

Adam Burrows, Ben Durrant, Tom Skinner
Mark Bray & Samuel Moore in 2014

Episode 1 & 2 will be written by Tom Skinner, he is replacing Mark Bray as head writer and will open the new Series. Episode 1 and 2 will NOT be a two parter special which we originally said in our last blog post

Episode 3 will be written by Mark Bray. So far Mark has said that his episode will come straight from the heart and will be based on real events in his life with an alien twist.

Episode 4 will be written by Samuel Moore & Graham Bray. Both previous writers but this time paired up. There is no information about the episode yet.

Episode 5 will be written by Tom Ford. This will be his second episode for Doctor Who, his first last year called "The Men of UNIT"

Episode 6 will be written by Colin Bray. His first script for Doctor Who. There is no information about the episode yet.

In our blog post we said that Jordan Crowther-Russell would help write an episode, he has since withdrawn the request and will supervise script development.

Samuel Moore WILL remain as The Doctor
Last month is was uncertain whether Sam would return but we now know that he is happy staying for one more series.

New Companion for the majority of the series
In Series 3 the companion changed nearly every episode unlikely Series 2 in which Ben Durrant played Daniel Jefferson for all episodes apart from one. This actor has been casted!!! but no information as to who they are.

Building Tardis Interior
It will begin the last week of May until the last week for June. Then it will restart the beginning of August until the end.

When will filming begin?
No date is definite yet but we are hoping the 1st July. Booking and renting has already begun and some days are written in stone during July and August.
