Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has announced that the show will definitely return next year.

Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine in an interview in the latest issue, Moffat again confirmed that this year’s season, which began filming this week, will “absolutely” air as an uninterrupted run.

He commented: “We’re not going to do splits [in Season 8], and the same format will repeat exactly [for Season 9] the following year [2015] like that. So it will be the traditional form.”

Filming on Season 8 will take place in Cardiff until August.
