I shall wait for more details before reaching for my M4.
I'm hoping that, if true, we're looking at a run of specials, ala the 10th Doctor, to celebrate the anniversary. That might be enough to placate the fans.

2012, not 2013. The wording could mean we have .5 a season at the end before Part Two in 2013, which'd work wonderfully with a oh god look Paul McGann twist.
Heh, US and AUS have the movie individually but because it was such a big deal it was the price of a 3-disc release, so I just netflixed it and will buy when it's cheap.
Oh, I listened to a few audios-
Bloodtide - Meh.
Bernice Summerfiedl and the Criminal Code - Cool.
Seasons of Fear - Extra meh.
First half of Embrace the Darkness - *hides under covers*
But... Seasons of fear is awesome! It has jokes about king caractacus!
As for no full series next year, I think this is appropriate:
I though a full series was a given when the confirmed 14 new episodes.
In other news, maybe they're building up and going to give every doctor an episode of his own in 2013? That would be awesome, if unlikely.
Although not as awesome as McGann.
And isn't the classic series DVD range due to be finished next year? If so, the drought will be even harder to bare!
Not until November 2013, which is probably when Tenth Planet comes.
Edit: So DVDPlanet raised the price of Revenge of the Cybermen. Oh well, I'm picking up The Time Warrior and Timelash instead, meaning I will soon have 8/11 the Colin Baker era.
Are you guys just making up references to Paul McGann because it would be awesome (it would), or did I miss some kind of rumor to that effect?
Well rumours have beem flying round ever since 2005. Moreso now than ever (given the Moff has previously said he would love to write for him, and with the 50th anniversary coming up).
Trouble is, given the fact he only had 40 minutes on the screen 14 years ago, your average viewer wouldn't recognise him. Plus, he doesn't fit in either the classic or new eras, which could be problematic. If they do do a multi-doctor episode, they'll either go for 9 onwards, or grab a few of the more recognisable ones (4,5 and 7)
Someone pointed out to me that the reason most people think the Ponds are leaving this season is that Karen and Arthur picked up other things to do when they were supposed to be filming for Series seven - now that they're only filming the Christmas special in that time, maybe the ponds will stick around?

I don't know if I want them to (from a narrative standpoint). Being with the doctor cost them their child. Surely that's as good a reason as any to leave?

...But they go on adventures for the rest of the series anyway! Leaving six months after the fact would not do you any good!
Also, because I like pointing out flaws in Russell T Davies' logic: Nine and Ten travelled with Rose less then eight months. The Doctor has spent nine months since the start of series six with Amy and Rory, and a few months with Amy as well for Series Five. In addition, there are companions like Benny who travelled with the Doctor for Decades and he never once showed anything near love towards.
Well, it looks like the iplayer version the rest of the world is getting soon is going to be awesome. It features a mixture of "old and new programming". So basically there'll be some classic who episodes available on it. Lucky you...

For $10 a month? No thanks. I can go through why I validate Netflix as a purchase, but it has the near-entirety of NuWho, the entirety of Power Rangers, a bit of OldWho, all of The Office, Cheers, 30 Rock, Park and Recreation, Firefly, Lost, Heroes, 24, and will soon have the complete series of all the Star Treks as well. In other words, Netflix is the best bang per buck and I refuse to pay for more then one of the Internet Streaming service. Also, if it's anything like Netflix, they'll be rips of the VHS' and the 60s stuff is nigh-unwatchable in that state.
Heh, I somewhat exploited a audible promotion to get the Soundtrack to what I've heard is the best Missing Story (and I'm inclined to agree based on the basic summary I read), Evil of the Daleks. If y'all want, http://www.audible.com/t1/30dgft_plusone_TV is the link for signup with 2 free audiobook credits, of which I'd reccomend getting The Evil... and The Power...
I saw that a while a go, but I think I might just have to give it a try (I only saw the new-who audiobooks beforehand, I didn't realise they carried classic episode soundtracks!).
In other news, I thought I saw christopher Eccleston on the bus the other day. If it wasn't for the fact he was wearing really raggedy football clothes, and was on a bus in wiltshire of all places (getting off at my stop too!) then I would have been uber excited. He had the beard and everything!

Yeah, the soundtracks are definately worth signing up for - just sign up, add the 2 credits worth of stuff to your account, and then be sure to remove it before they start billing you. What's more convenient is it ties to your amazon account, so you don't have to type in all that debit card information. I'm quite considering picking up a few soundtracks off audiogo, they're at quite the reasonable price (most are ~£6), and I enjoyed the one episode of Evil of the Daleks I listened to.
No sooner have I organised my entire audio collection, then does my computer start playing up. The internal circuitry responsible for carrying the charge from my charger to the battery is "On the edge of destruction". I now have to hold the charger at a dodgy angle to do anything. Here's hoping it lasts until I can back-up my iTunes library!
If not, I think I may just shoot myself. ¬_¬
Okay, so my library is now all backed up. But it's renamed all the files. All my tracks now have numbers after them ("Part One 3" for example). Grumble...

Heheh, how is it you still don't have a External Hard Drive in 2011? I got a 2TB for $80 a few months back, and it's changed the way I download things.
Started listening to Project: Twilight. It's pretty good. The bad guy is very bad.
Also: Tetris is my new thing to do while listening.
I do have an external drive (as of 3 months ago!), but before now it's soul purpose has been to create a backup of all the family photos (including ones pre-digital. I'm still only 10% of the way through doing those!) and home videos. I really should get into a habit of backing things up more often..
Oh yeah, I watched the first two parts of "The ark" last night. They were pretty awesome, and worked very well on your own. It's basically just a futuristic version of "European men land in americas, kill off natives with diseases". However the rest seems to be completely different.
And the aliens have zippers in their costumes. That's always a good sign.
Oh, I watched Revelation of the Daleks. It was pretty bad. I am really surprised that people say it's Colin's best story, every other story I've seen has been better. Also; State of Decay, 7/10 potatoes.
Next I'm on to Warrior's Gate, which is apparently one of the best stories. After that, the Mind Robber.
Final review of Project: Twilight. 10/10. Wonderfully dark in all the right ways. Not in a whimsical way. As in really, really dark. Also really complements one of the stories I mentioned above.
Warrirors gate, one of the best? Really? I thought it was pretty lousy.
Well, you certainly got my hopes up there. Now I'll look up where it is on the DWM 200 - my key is if it's within 10 of Terminus it's bad to the point where I'd rather shoot myself then watch but not so bad it's funny, based entirely off Terminus. Aand it's at 81, just 9 short of Enlightenment, so my hopes are high.
Listened to first two bits of Master - it's very 'My Dinner With Andre The Master', and I'm quite enjoying it. McCoy is a delight to hear, as always.
random thought... i'm just about finished with "The Ark" How is it that the doctor knows everything about history before the 1960's, but he seems to know absolutly NOTHING about history past the 1960's... you can't honestly tell me he's explored all these past pieces of history, and not managed to hit on some of the future history, especially with a malfunctioning tardis, heck he landed in the ark twice in a row...

I'm watching that one! As for his historical knoeledge, you could argue that its because he spent so long in 1963, so him and susan had plenty of time to study/pickup on the history of that period from people around them, the school history lessons etc.
Or maybe he's just daft'

It's just a show, you should really just relax, as MST3K would say.
And I finished Master this morning: quite enjoyable. 9/10. Actually, the ending line leads brilliantly into the new series' arc with the Master.

He does know about the future! He just doesn't tell everyone about it. Spoilers...

I'm three parts of the way into "The one doctor", and it's become my favourite audio, I think. Unless the last part does something monumentally horrid!

Heh, I didn't care for it. Then again, you said you disliked Master and I didn't care for Seasons of Fear.
Does he need a surname? "The Rory" will suffice. Or possibly Kenny.
Yes. We must all bow in awe to The Rory. He's like The Many, only more awesome.
Anyone know when Torchwood is gonna start airing? It'll make a good stop-gap while we're waiting for more Who, and the BBC's having a hissy fit over when to start showing it. The week after the States?

Le sigh, I'll go get the revolver.
I think I may cry in a corner. A very dark corner invested by Vashta Nerada.
But seriously, this is horrible news! I really hope this is the BBC trolling the Who fans. Really.

As for no full series next year, I think this is appropriate:
I though a full series was a given when the confirmed 14 new episodes.
If the lead-in to 2013 doesn't have a 'Paul McGann, I need you!' moment I shall be disappoint.
In other news, maybe they're building up and going to give every doctor an episode of his own in 2013? That would be awesome, if unlikely.

As for the ponds being in part two, I was under the impression that they wouldn't be in a few.
Yeah, no idea where you got that idea. Amy and Rory are definately staying at least until Episode
Also: I just realized that the Fake Baby could be referred to as a Jelly Baby.
You just made my day. Gives a new meaning to that awesome 'Would you like a jelly baby'-callback from The Almost People.
Yes, and the eyepatch lady really did reverse the Jelly baby! Ribs, you are a genius. Well, for tonight anyway.
So I signed up for the Audible trial for the free audiobook, which I promptly used on Logopolis.
