DOCTOR WHO Series 31 - What We Know So Far...

So as the weeks keep coming the hints about what we'll see in the next series of Doctor Who dribble out. THE FOLLOWING POST FEATURES BOTH SPOILERS AND SPECULATION FOR THE UPCOMING SERIES! BE WARNED!

SO! thanks to the brilliance of key individuals on Gallifrey Base and the efforts of the Commando-like set reporters who keep those individuals topped up with information and sightings from set, we know a fair bit about each episode of Series 31. The basics, obviously, are that there is a new Doctor in the shape of Matt Smith and a couple of new companions, namely Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and, some of you may NOT be aware of, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams! We have a new, 60s looking TARDIS with a brand new interior (spotted briefly in the trailer) and a new sonic screwdriver (as seen on the cover of the latest Doctor Who Magazine.
