Next Doctor Who series will not be all in 2012

So although the BBC has confirmed that Matt Smith will return as the Doctor for 14 more full episodes of Doctor Who, BBC journalist Lizo Mzimba is tweeting that amid some confusion at a conference where BBC One controller Danny Cohen was speaking and remarked that there wouldn’t be a “full” series of Doctor Who in 2012. Apparently he made a comment that show runner and writer Steven Moffat was busy with the next Sherlock series, which wasn’t meant to be serious, but apparently the BBC is having to follow up on the comment and is saying that the next series will be split up between 2012 and 2013 – but no idea on how and when at this point.
So it looks like there will be a long wait for our next fix, after this year’s Christmas special.
