I am – Hercules!!

Doctor Who Magazine now confirms the long delay between this year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas special and the arrival of season seven.

Airings of the sci-fi series will not commence until Autumn of next year.

The series traditionally launches its seasons in the spring.

Still no reason has been given for the delay, but my money’s still on the idea that series showrunner Stephen Moffatt wants to put a big-screen “Who” adventure into cinemas next summer.

The website doctorwhotv speculates the seventh season could unfurl in two parts, just as season six did:

2012

Easter Special

Autumn – Series 7 Part 1

Christmas Special 2013



Spring – Series 7 Part 2

Autumn – Series 8

Christmas Special

By the way, all "Who" fans should tune in to tonight's "Community" for some clips from "Inspector Spacetime," the show Abed likes ever better than "Cougar Town."
