In an interview in the new Radio Times, Doctor Who star Matt Smith has confirmed categorically that he is committed to Doctor Who for the next year – taking him through the recording of series eight – and that he is taking the show on a year by year basis.

There have been rumours that the 50th anniversary special would conclude with the Doctor regenerating, but this would seem to put a stop to those.

The Radio Times includes a wraparound cover featuring the various monsters to be featured in the eight episodes about to be aired, and confirms the titles of all bar the finale: The Bells of Saint John; The Rings of Akhaten; Cold War; Hide; Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS; The Crimson Horror; and Nightmare in Silver. Moffat’s finale, featuring the return of River Song, will be revealed later, with the head writer explaining, “You’re about to learn something about the Doctor that you never knew before. And I think you’re in for a shock…”

Doctor Who returns this Saturday at 6.15 on BBC One.
