"Ep 1 of s8 is being planned as an Easter Special, but nothing will be announced until it is certain. If it can't be done in time it will...
...simply become the first of the s8. It WILL be at least 60 minutes long, one way or another"
He then makes a few more comments about the rest of the series.
For the record, Outpost Skaro are full of it.
As in, categorically! It's a fan-site, and a slightly delusional one. They don't have sources, but they like people to think they do. ISTR one of the admins getting banned from Outpost Gallifrey for constant and deliberate misinformation. Prattling on about the Meddling Monk in series four or some such - claimed to commute to Cardiff from Motherwell? Something like that, specifics lost to time, but yeah, iffy stuff! Doesn't mean they're necessarily wrong, a stopped clock is right twice a day, but they're pure tabloid. Take a pinch of salt.
Would like it to be true, though, cos it's a cracking rumour! But that'd be rather a quick turnover. A lot of stress on the production team. Then again, they managed it for Planet of the Dead!
Nah, can't see it as being at all likely we'll have anything until the late August bank holiday when the full run with Peter C is probably going to start. (Yes, admittedly that is a guess!)
'Planet of the Dead' in Easter 2009 was a completely different scenario as obviously there was no full series in production at the time. I had read that was quite a rushed shoot which might explain the finished result! (IMO one of the most forgettable stories of C21 'Who'. Indeed I *had* forgotten it until mentioned up thread!)
Now a 2015 Easter Special fitting into the 10th Anniversary of 'Rose'...interesting. (Also...agree with above post RE: OS!)
