2010 Christmas Special to be 90 Minutes?

by Chris

2010 Christmas Special director Toby Haynes’ agent’s website is reporting the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special will be 90 minutes in length. Confirmation of this information from elsewhere, such as a formal announcement from the BBC, has yet to materialize; however, agent websites in past have proven to shed light on details not previously released officially. Radio Free Skaro earlier this year broke the news of an extended run time for The Eleventh Hour and of course both The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang went beyond the usual 45 minute run time so there’s certainly precedent in the Matt Smith era for longer-running episodes. Time will tell if this information proves correct, but we at Radio Free Skaro always welcome more Doctor Who!

Adam Smith, Richard Clark Return To Direct Series 6

by Steven

Doctor Who director Adam Smith
According to the CV of new Doctor Who production designer Michael Pickwoad, Adam Smith and Richard Clark will be returning to the director’s chair for Series 6 of Doctor Who, set to begin filming shortly.

Adam Smith, in our minds, was the directorial star of Matt Smith’s first series as The Doctor, successfully bringing The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, and Flesh and Stone to the screen with great flair and panache. It would appear that Smith will be in charge of one of the first two blocks of filming, which apparently includes shooting on Neil Gaiman’s episode.

Richard Clark returns to Doctor Who for the first time since helming two Series 3 episodes, Gridlock and The Lazarus Experiment.

Both directors join a top notch team which includes Toby Haynes, who is in charge of the upcoming 2010 Christmas Special and who previously directed The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang from Series 5.

Here’s links to both Adam Smith’s and Richard Clark’s profiles on IMDB:
