Moffat Confirms: No split for season 8

Thank goodness. These split series have always been irritating.

good especially if we have to wait til august

Yay!!

although is the august thing official? idk i heard it on tumblr, the least trustworthy of sources

Hm, well it says August on Wikipedia, and then there's this article

Bless I never actually went looking to confirm

as far as I know there's not been any release date for the first episode?

Not an absolute set date yet, no.

I would guess late August, almost September

Yeah, since they're airing in fall/winter now

because Moffat was like: who's bright idea was it to film ALL WINTER and let it air ALL SUMMER. I mean come on, it was always in the winter before

not to mention it's 1000000000000x more fair on the actors

It always felt like a swipe at RTD when he'd say how stupid it was to have Doctor Who in the spring and summer, instead of the fall when it's dark....as if that made any fucking difference.

Tbh I'd rather have it during the winter when everything else goes on winter hiatus

Doesn't really matter to me, but it was irritating how he acted like it was such a horribly stupid idea. Funny, Steven, how the show was extremely popular the way it was, if it was so stupid.

I didn't much see it as a dig, but fuck if I don't know the backwards filming for the industry is brutal

Yeah filming in the winter... Do not envy.
