More interesting news:

"In announcing the new companion this morning, the Doctor Who production team also confirmed the “split-season” theory that has been making the rounds on the message boards and elsewhere. According to the press conference, six episodes will be transmitted later this year, including the Christmas Special, followed by eight more episodes next year. The Ponds, Amy and Rory (Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill) will bow out of the series in episode five, which will feature the return of the Weeping Angels. According to the show’s head writer, Steven Moffat: “Amy and Rory will leave in a final encounter with the Weeping Angels in episode five. Not everyone gets out alive and I mean it this time.”

The 2012 run of episodes will conclude at Christmas with the introduction of the new companion played by Jenna-Louise Coleman and the rest of the series will follow in 2013. No information was given today concerning what we can expect for the remainder of 2013, Doctor Who‘s fiftieth anniversary, but it is possible that more will be revealed at this weekend’s first official Doctor Who convention.

[UPDATED]: It was announced that Daleks are also set to return sometime during the 2013 run of episodes."

Yes, she is. Quite how her character wil play off the Doctor is something we'll have to wait and see for. I have confidence that the Moff will deliver.

I'm not so confident at the prospect of another Weeping Angels episode but it could potentially be quite a cruel story. Amy had an Angel in her consciousness or something, in the last Angel story - sorry, my mind's hazy about it. So, it could be linked to that. Moffat could make her the villain of the piece, similar to Peri in the Trial of a Timelord. That would be cool.

It's a shame they're not involving the Daleks in the departure of the Ponds. Having them kill either one or both of them off would have been a great way to re-establish them as the Doctor's deadliest enemy.

According to Doctor Who mag, the Daleks are back in the Autumn.

So thats Daleks, Angels and Zygons - lovely.

Are the Zygons confirmed as returning, or is it just a rumour?...

Just a rumour, but a strong one, from BBC sources, the production team actually.

I don't want to admit to having seen the odd bit of Emmerdale, but I remember JLC. The 11th Doctor has impeccable taste in female companions.
