I don't know, are you thinking of the director Ben Wheatley? :lol

Ben Wheatley is directing the first two episodes of series 8.

I've read somewhere else that he might have meant that's when his completed (FX, music, etc) episodes would be finalized, not necessarily when they would start airing. I don't know, personally, it sounds like someone trying not to get their hopes up.

The director, yes, of course.

Well, fair enough, but I'm thinking that's his personal dead line, not the release date.

I think his deadline will have to be earlier than July. He starts filming the adaptation of High Rise in June. That isn't to say he couldn't squeeze in doing both, but I would think he'd like to have one done before starting the other.

So I watched the first two episodes of 9th's season... I think I'm going to like this show. :)

One of us, one of us!
So, what do you think of Ecclestone so far? He's one of my favourite Doctors, even though most people I ask seem not to like him so much.

Meanwhile, in other news, Moffat's spoken about an new chacacter:

Dany Pink, a teacher from Coal Hill Schoo. Can't be worse than Clara.

You kidding? Ninth is awesome! He's uddles of fun and I can't wait to see more of him! :D

... You are an amazing human being. As far as I can tell :)

Meanwhile, in other questions: what TARDIS rooms can you think? I'm trying to do some project. At the moment I have:
Console Rooms (1-7/8/9-10/11a/11b/secondary)
Library
Swimming Pool (Classic/New)
Corridors
Companion Rooms
Cloister Room (Classic/Movie/Journey?)
Garage
Laboratory
Auxillary Power Plant/Art room
Zero Room

Bold means it's been built

Seems like they're already on episode four and five... plus I'm loving the inclusion of a new character. Definitely a welcome change.
