Doctor Who Returns

Doctor Who returned on Saturday night on BBC1. The appearance of the Doctor's future companion shocked fans but allowed a glimpse at what is to come after the departure of Karen Gillan. Jenna-Louise Coleman (Emmerdale, Titanic) is set to take over the role of companion when Gillan leaves the show.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill return for 5 more episodes in the new series before leaving to let Coleman take over. The 5 episodes will be shown in the next 5 weeks before taking a break before the Christmas episode in which Coleman reappears airs over the Christmas period. A further 8 episodes then complete the sevenths series of the show.

Whovians are eagerly anticipating the reveal of just how Amy and Rory leave the show, as well as how Coleman takes over the reigns as the Doctor's new companion, Clara Oswin.
