Disappointing news for Doctor Who fans as the BBC announce that a full series of Doctor Who will not air next year, only a select number of episodes will be shown through the year.

Reporter Lizo Mzimba tweeted: “There will not be a full series of Dr Who in 2012! BBC confirms that BBC One Controller said this earlier today”. BBC Editor Wayne Clarke suggests the reason for this is so there can be “a special run” of the show for the 50th anniversary in 2013.
