The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine recently confirmed that the new series will start filming in February next year, but will not begin airing until next autumn.

Speaking to Total TV Guide, Moffat explained: “Our plans are still in flux. It’s not a secret that we’ll be moving to later in the year, but as to how many episodes there are going to be, I simply don’t know.”

He added: “I will absolutely guarantee that you’re not going to feel disappointed or short-changed. It will be a quite remarkable time for Doctor Who.”
