I actually think that Moffat could be referring to the/a new Dalek paradigm. But by that I don't mean brand new Daleks, but a more developed version of the Daleks from S5. Because there were so many complaints about the new Daleks, Moffat could have easily have improved them with out it effecting the plot of Asylum of the Daleks.
Reading DWM 450, there's some more interesting bits to behold.
- Matt says that there's stuff his Doctor can do/say with Clara that he couldn't with Amy.
- There will be an eighth series but in 2014 in which Moffat teased Matt to 'prepare to cry'.
Did anyone think there wouldn't be an eighth series*? Also does that mean he's leaving :eek:
*assuming this country is not entirely screwed in a new Great Depression or worse by 2014

Reading GB, this is correct. Matt Smith has said that Moffat has done the Daleks up a bit. He also said that he didn't feel the Daleks were scripted well in Victory of the Daleks, but that Moffat has fixed that in the script for episode 1.
And if it hasn't been mentioned here yet, DWTV seems to think that next year's schedule is episodes 7-14 of series 7 followed by multiple anniversary specials.

As the christmas special is being broadcast in the middle of series 7, it is being generally acknowledged that sepearting it from the rest of series 7 numbers wise doesn't really make sense.
But it isn't - according to the episode-by-episode hints.
Then Moffat and the BBC should stop being so dim and give Doctor Who a proper place in the schedules for once. Since Moffat took over, the show has been moved around so much that I really can't tell which way is up any more. And it looks like the show won't get a proper place in the schedules til 2014 at the very earliest -- even then I worry, cos with Moffat still at the helm in 2014, even though I know I will enjoy the series, I am afraid DW will be shifting to another time of year
The way I see it, we're getting fourteen episodes for Series 7, six airing in 2012, the remaining eight in 2013, plus some specials that will be filmed next for the 50th.
I don't like the ever changing start date for the series as a whole. I hope moffat makes good his promise to keep it in the autumn in future cos then I know when to look forward to each year
Anyone want to have aguess at what the series finalie going to be
I think it going to centre around an enemy from the doctor past, now with ice warriors getting a mention, this looks a good bet, or seeing episode 1 starts with the daleks, does it also end with the daleks in some way, maybe they once more have scaro, and the galifrey exsists once again
Extract from Matt Smith interview in Entertainment Weekly:
The first show of the new season features the dreaded Daleks. What was filming that like?
Wonderful! Because I got to meet my favorite Daleks, which are actually from [Patrick] Troughton’s era, I think. They’re the sort of pale blue and whitey ones. They’re a bit smaller actually. I think they’re groovy! I mean, we’ve got every Dalek that exists in the world [in the episode].
Groovy? The Daleks are supposed to be frightening!
Oh yeah, I mean they are frightening. But you can’t help but go, “God, there’s 20 Daleks in a room moving around me!” It’s exciting!
I understand the people operating them have to go to “Dalek school.”
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. People have to go and learn how to be a Dalek. Rule 1: Be evil! Rule 2: Don’t eat chips, don’t drink soda.
DWM: Episode 1 is full on sci-fi. It has spaceships, alien planets and Daleks.
Episode 2 is sci-fi with a hint of historical.
Episode 3 is a historical with a slice of sci-fi.
Episode 4 is a good old fashioned alien invasion of earth.
[note multiple alien planets for ep. 1 - I hope it isn't just a glimpse!]
I don't like the ever changing start date for the series as a whole. I hope moffat makes good his promise to keep it in the autumn in future cos then I know when to look forward to each year
Once our 50th anniversary is gone it ll be back to mar - july.

7-14?
Episodes 7 to 14
Yeah I understood that part, but the numbers don't make sense.
Episode 5 is the final episode of the series in 2012. Then the Christmas Special.
2013 should be 6-13. There is no episode 14.
Episode 6 is the christmas special, then to complete the 13 episode series + 1 Christmas Special we need 8 more episodes.

Unless it is.

Then it isn't. Have the other Moffat Christmas specials even been given a production code, btw?
Could be wrong, but I do not believe so.

So I've kind of got through it, but I got so used to 6 years of an Easter start, it feels so odd by it's absence this time around.
About blooming time as well:D

Erm, what? Source please.
