The Gap between series, will it seem like a drag?!

I'm not a 100% sure when the second half of this New Series starts but whether it will be September or later, it still can't be half as bad as the drag between episodes in 2009 when we had this huge gap between Easter and November, that seemed like an eternity, but there again, seeing what was eventually dished up on screen, the hype sort of was overblown for what was three very average episodes.
Hopefully that won't happen too much this time round, but do you think the time will drag for you or has 2009 sort of put the wait into context? For me that really depends on how good the cliffhanger will be, if it's a let-down, time certainly won't drag!

I suspect the second half of the series will start in September, so in between we will have Torchwood, which is due to start July, to keep us going as well. Pretty much solid DW related stuff to look forward to all the way to xmas.....
Good think Muttley, forgot about Torchwood, then I suppose there'll be Sarah-Jane Adventures around sometime in the autumn as well should Doctor Who start later!
Sherlock, too, I presume, to keep the non-TW fans happy.
(McGann weeks):)
Is there definitely a Sarah Jane Adventures? I hope there's an appearance by the Doctor again, if so.

Thanks.
I wonder if they'll eventually revert back to showing it in one but in the autumn this time.
Perfect setup for the 50th anniversary.
As we all know, the viewing figures have all been pretty healthy despite the weather outside.
However there has been a strong argument in favour of positioning the show in the Autumn schedule. The only real conflict for the show during that period comes in the form of ITV's X Factor.
There's sufficient industry rumours that the X Factor could be shifted in the schedules due to the expected success of X Factor USA, bringing it forward to a Springtime slot. So with that in consideration, its altogether possible that what we are seeing in 2011 is experiment in viewing figures and to also prepare in case ITV changes it's schedules for X Factor.
But then, what do I know...
I think I could get used to a yearly split of Doctor Who. Though it's not a drama, it works with Top Gear, which is on 2-3 times a year for a 6 weekly run and that seems to work, so I can see it happening with Doctor Who as well.
yes i agree - if Torchwood maintains the sort of ratings it had for CoE, it would i think be ideal for the BBC to carry on this way (though it'll be 6 episodes in the autumn rather than 7).
It was Moffatt's idea, as there is to be a game-changing cliff-hanger in the 7th episode. Apparently, he wanted that to sink in and let us ruminate upon it before we get the conclusion to it.
Isnt there the summer inbetween where we should all be outside enjoying ourselves
