Due to Steven Moffat’s commitments with Sherlock, rumour has it that Doctor Who will not air a full series in 2016.
This is according to Private Eye Magazine, who wrote: “Not long now till the return of Doctor Who, which arrives back on screens for the ninth series of its latest incarnation on 19 September. Fans should make as much as they can of this 12-part run, as BBC staff have recently been informed that showrunner Steven Moffat’s commitments to his other hit show Sherlock mean that there will be no full series of Doctor Who in 2016.”

Sherlock last filmed a full series of three episodes back in 2013, with a full series of Doctor Who not being broadcast that year. Instead, two feature-length specials were produced.
However, a BBC spokesperson said: “It’s too early to confirm the schedule for future series at this point, but the new series starts on Saturday, September 19.”
