Subject: Do you know when the new series will air? (August 2014)

The following was in response to an off air question posed when I was on ABC 891, Monday 5 August 2013, ~21:05. the question was "Do you know when the new series will air?", I add it here as it's the best summary of expected airings and I want it to live on beyond that dialogue!

No, and this is exactly the kind of thing people ask ABC Audience and Consumer Affairs year round which drives them to distraction!
But ...
Anniversary special BBC 23/11/2013 ABC ~4.00am 24/11/2013
Christmas special (regeneration) BBC 25/12 ABC ? (probably 26/12)
An Adventure in Space and Time (docudrama) BBC ? 2013 ABC ?
Doctor Who series 8 filming from September 2013 BBC ? August 2014 ABC ? August 2014
There is no guarantee ABC will buy An Adventure in Space and Time at this stage; it may not come under the single BBC/ABC contract Doctor Who is covered by (the BBC Worldwide output contract is being allowed to expire in June 2014). But as a tip; it is exactly the kind of behind the scenes meta-fiction which seems popular with broadcasters now.

Yes, should have said ... He says he proposed it for the 40th anniversary, and there was a similar proposal for the 30th!
