Class Season 1 Wraps Filming
Filming has wrapped on the first season of the Doctor Who spin-off, Class. To celebrate, the BBC has released a new image showing Ms. Quill and April. (This is the same picture that was in Empire Magazine. I was waiting for them to release a good quality version of it.) The show will debut on BBC Three and BBC America sometime next month.
UPDATE: Filming actually finishes tomorrow. They just tweeted it a bit early

First Three Books Featuring Clara Oswald
The first three books featuring Clara Oswin Oswald have been announced, and are to be released on April 11th.
The Shroud of Sorrow
The Dalek Generation
Plague of the Cybermen
Pre-order here
23 November, 1963Pre-order here
It is the day after John F. Kennedy’s assassination – and the faces of the dead are everywhere. PC Reg Cranfield sees his late father in the mists along Totter’s Lane. Reporter Mae Callon sees her grandmother in a coffee stain on her desk. FBI Special Agent Warren Skeet finds his long-dead partner staring back at him from raindrops on a window pane.
Then the faces begin to talk, and scream... and push through into our world.
As the alien Shroud begins to feast on the grief of a world in mourning, can the Doctor dig deep enough into his own sorrow to save mankind?
"The Sunlight Worlds Offer You A Life of Comfort and Plenty. Apply now at the Dalek Foundation."Pre-order here
Sunlight 349 is one of countless Dalek Foundation worlds, planets created to house billions suffering from economic hardship. The Doctor arrives at Sunlight 349, suspicious of any world where the Daleks are apparently a force for good – and determined to find out the truth. The Doctor knows they have a far more sinister plan – but how can he convince those who have lived under the benevolence of the Daleks for a generation?
But convince them he must, and soon. For on another Foundation planet, archaeologists have unearthed the most dangerous technology in the universe...
‘They like the Shadows. You know them as Plague Warriors…’
When the Doctor arrives in the 19th-century village of Klimtenburg, he discovers the residents suffering from some kind of plague – a ‘wasting disease’. The victims face a horrible death – but what’s worse, the dead seem to be leaving their graves. The Plague Warriors have returned…
The Doctor is confident he knows what’s really happening; he understands where the dead go, and he’s sure the Plague Warriors are just a myth. But as some of the Doctor’s oldest and most terrible enemies start to awaken he realises that maybe – just maybe – he’s misjudged the situation.

Ultimate Jenna Theory - Revision 1
This is basically a theory that's been floating around on the internet for a while, but is now confirmed by The Snowmen.
What we know:
In the theory, Clara is somehow splintered through time, like Scaroth in the Tom Baker episode, City of Death (available on Netflix if you want to reference it). Scaroth was splintered in time due to an accident on a spaceship. What's unclear is if Clara was splintered sometime during her lifetime, or if all of her incarnations were born separately. Neither of her incarnations that we've seen so far appear to be aware of the others, unlike Scaroth, who would slip into unconsciousness and wake up in another splinter of himself. Also if she was splintered during her lifetime, where/when is the original and have we met her already/will we ever?
<speculation>
I like the theory that Clara is Captain Jack's daughter. Perhaps some of the time energy that caused him to be a fixed point in time and space went into her, and she's slightly less fixed. Any time she dies, another version of her crops up somewhere else in history. Time then proceeds to rewrite so that new version has its own life and memories. Both her and Jack can be killed, but they won't stay dead for long. Jack comes back as his own self in his own body, but due to the time energy being more diluted in Clara, she comes back at a random point in human history with a new past.
This might also be the work of the White Guardian. He appeared to have influence in The End of Time, transporting the Doctor's mom in and out of the time lock so she could save his life. The White Guardian needs the Doctor to survive until a certain point in his future, so he intervened to save the Doctor there. The White Guardian created Oswin to save the Doctor at the Asylum. When the Doctor became a recluse after the events of The Angels Take Manhattan, the White Guardian needed the Doctor to keep going as he was before, so he created a different version of Oswin to motivate the Doctor to continue to travel the universe. He knew the Doctor would notice the similarities and go off to find another version of her. The White Guardian basically used Clara to keep the Doctor on track to a certain point in his future.
The previous theory also integrates nicely with the whole thing with The Question. Perhaps the thing that the Doctor's name unleashes is only bad in the eyes of the Silence and the Doctor and is actually needed by the universe. Alternately, maybe it is something terrible and evil and Clara was created by the Black Guardian instead of the White. The Black Guardian would want the Doctor to unleash whatever terrible thing his name unleashes.
</speculation>
Whatever the explanation, we're probably not going to get much further information until episode 7 airs in April. We might get a tiny glimmer of information in any new trailers they release, but those probably won't come out until February at the earliest, more likely March.
What we know:
- Oswin and Clara have the same physical appearance and voice
- They are around the same age
- They both had the same last words, said to the Doctor, "run you clever boy, and remember"
- They both (seemingly) had the same name, Clara Oswin Oswald
- They both died shortly after meeting the Doctor
- Christmas Special Clara and spring series Clara are both governesses (filming spoiler confirmed by multiple blogs)

2013 Details in Doctor Who Magazine
The new issue of Doctor Who Magazine reveals that Series 7, Part 2 will not air until April, along with some other exciting clues
- Episode 7: "A proper urban thriller, starring a man in a frock coat and a bow tie and quiff from space!"
- Episode 8: "Set on an alien planet, an 'epic, overwhelming, boiling, red-orange planet'. The brief was: 'You know how the Doctor always promises amazing, awesome wonders to his companions, then gets them stuck down a tunnel being attacked my mutant slugs. Let’s deliver some awesome and amazing!'"
- Episode 9: "Mark Gatiss is about to explode fanboy hearts. This is a cracker of an episode, in the grand tradition."
- Episode 10: "Spooky and clever and even a little bit romantic."
- Episode 11: "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS! Will do what it says on the tin."
- Episode 12: "A title to die for. Tread carefully, there are some dreadful things in there!"
- Episode 13: "Gaiman’s new spine-chiller. You already know there are Cybermen – what you don’t know is there is something else. A Cyber-something else. They are disgusting."
- Episode 14: "'One that will thrill you a bit, and worry you more. Yes, I think you’ll be just a tiny bit worried where we might be going with this one. I’d say more, but then you’d be less worried, and frankly, what’s the point in that?' Vastra, Jenny and Strax return."
- 50th Anniversary: "'A love letter to the fans, and an absolute romp and a thrill to the casual viewer.'"
- The 50th Anniversary is set to begin filming in April
