Steven Moffat also confirms – Doctor Who will return in the Fall
by Doc on Nov.28, 2011, under Television
Just in case you were still holding out hope that everyone was wrong, Steven Moffat chimed in to say that Doctor Who will return in the fall. He mentions that one reason is that traditionally it was a Fall show, not aired with “All those barbecues and children playing outside, while on the telly there are green monsters seething in their CGI-enhanced lairs? It’s just not right is it?” But he also adds, “But it’s not the whole story.”
Sounds like there were still production reasons at work.
