Doctor Who Series 6 Speculation/Discussion Spoilers for all aired episodes

[Coco Pops]

Eh....I hope nope. I have heard that so many times that I might actually be really disappointed if that is the case. And Doctor Who never disappoints me. Let someone else be Romana!

Well who else could be Romana unless they get a cameo from one of the proper Romanas?

Having said that I don't want River to be Romana

[DigiFluid]

OH!

Another thing I desperately want to know in series 32! Who the heck was trying to build a TARDIS in The Lodger?!

[DigiFluid]

Were they? I didn't see them in the crowd of assembled aliens..... I guess I'll have to freeze frame it.

I don't blame you, they're a bit hard to spot. I didn't notice them in my first time through.

In The Pandorica Opens, when the Doctor is shouting at the assembled fleet in the sky challenging them, look to the left side. In the shots when he's looking up (as in, when the shot is of the sky rather than the Doctor) you can see one of their ships on the left side of the screen. AFAIK this is the only point that they're in it.

Though I don't have the faintest idea what their beef with him is. He caught an escaped prisoner for them.

But really, very curious is why one of the red fish guys from TW Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is in the crowd

Spoiler:

Totally the thing I'm most looking forward to getting an answer about next season

While i was on holiday this week, my parents got talking to this guy in our resort, and it turns out hes a mechanic and explosives handler (dunno their official name, but his team sets up and manages the explosions) for Doctor Who and Top Gear.
Apparently one of his jobs for them was the water aliens from Waters of Mars, sorting out their mechanics and how they shot their water.
I asked him if he worked/was working on anything for this new series of Doctor Who, but he kept quite tight lipped about the new series and i couldnt get anything out of him.
Hes also met David Tennant, so i was a bit jealous at that lol

Also found these on the BBC website

Hugh Bonneville has been cast as a Pirate King, heres the article

I guess the Atraxi have very big eyes and easily bruised egos. Apparently the Doctor telling them to not bother Earth was enough for them to join the Alliance, despite the fact he helped catch Prisoner Zero for them.

The Doctor hurt their feelings.

Just found this while browsing the internet
So we know that Cordens character is coming back, and that we will see the Tardis from the Lodger again
Start speculating how this will pan out...

Also Moffat will be writing 5 episodes.
The first two episodes are a two parter, and they will feature Alex Kingston and Mark Sheppard. This is set in America.

David Walliams is also staring in this series.

[Coco Pops]

And how the hell were the Silhurians in there? Didn't they go into hibernation?

Will the River Song story be concluded this quickly?

James Corden. Awesomeness. The Lodger was one of my favorite episodes in series 5 and I'm glad there's some follow-up to this. But will there be more football?

Mark Sheppard. This is even better. I'm expecting very good things from Mr. Sheppard, given the many layered and interesting characters I've seen him play in the past.

Silurians? Hmm, that two-parter was about the only thing about series 5 I didn't like. Now what I'm interested in is that green-eyed Ood.

[Ulkesh47]

Now what I'm interested in is that green-eyed Ood.

Ah, indeed; there is something very odd with that Ood. (forgive me for that!) Also, that's not the only thing in there reminiscent of "The Satan Pit"; writing on the flesh reminds me of the Toby possession.

There are so many creepy things in that trailer... a guy in a spacesuit ominously reaching out, a Roswell alien in a dark room, nightmare-inducing animate dolls... this series looks like the scariest and most daring yet, and I welcome that wholeheartedly!

... And the Doctor looks great with a beard.

Just thought id confirm the David Walliam news
Heres the article
Hes playing a character called Gibbis in a spooky episode
Which episode do we reckon?

Also, i dont know if this is the final schedule of episodes, but James Cordens character is returning in the last two episodes of the series.

A guy in a spacesuit ominously reaching out, hmm. The first thing I thought of was the Vashta Nerada but I could be hoping for too much with that one.

That's the very same thing that I thought when I saw the clip. I'm hoping.

It looks like we might have an air date for Season 6.

I'm guessing that the air date will be the same for both the UK and the US like what happened with A Christmas Carol.

Doctor Who fans, your wait is almost over. EW has learned the premiere date of the new season of the international cult hit, plus some plot details and we have a first look at the show’s marketing art.

BBC America will launch Doctor Who on Saturday, April 23 at 9 p.m ET. That’s Part One of a two-part opener penned by showrunner Steven Moffat (who also did the BBC’s Sherlock reboot — rent it if you’re a Holmes & Watson fan and haven’t seen it yet). This season also includes guest star Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica). Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward) is returning for this round too.

Spoiler:

The premiere description has the Brit team filming in North America for the first time: “The Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah — right to the Oval Office in 1969.”

Taken from the News and Interviews thread. Thought Id put it here too as this is news on Series 6
I did not find this, all credit goes to Blencathra

This is great news as Im sure we all need to top up on our Doctor Who fix
Definately a date for the diary!

EDIT: This also came from Blencathra

Quite a nice picture
Whats that hes got in his left hand?
