This is from today's New Zealand Herald (11 April, 2013). There are some
small spoilers for New Zealand viewers with the first new episode starting
tonight, but none for anyone else who has seen the episode ...


Doctor Who's biggest secret to be revealed
------------------------------------------
Doctor Who is back, with a new foe and a new assistant, writes
Jennifer Cockerell.

Actor Matt Smith says Doctor Who fans can look forward to it
being the "biggest, best, most inventive and most exciting
year for the show" as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The first episode of the new series screens tonight [in New
Zealand] and see the Time Lord defy gravity by roaring up the
side of London's Shard building on a motorbike.

A special 3D anniversary show, which gathers some former
Doctors and companions, will also be broadcast in the UK in
November but Smith and co-star Jenna-Louise Coleman, who plays
his latest assistant, are remaining tight-lipped about what
viewers can expect.

Smith said he clapped when he read the script.

"It sort of does what it says on the tin, you won't be
disappointed," he said.

"I think it's hilarious, I think it's epic and I think it's
fast and I'm telling you nothing more, but you will not be
disappointed. I think it's going to be the biggest, best, most
inventive and most exciting year for the show and I think this
script delivers on all those points that you want it to for
where the show is at this time, it's brilliant."

Coleman said, "It pays homage to the last 50 years of the show
and kind of really celebrates that, but at the same time as
looking forward."

The Bells of St John is described as a modern day urban
thriller and sees the duo battling a new adversary, the
Spoonheads, against a backdrop of London landmarks including
Westminster Bridge and the Shard as they discover something
sinister lurking in the wi-fi.

"It's sort of Doctor Who meets the Bourne Identity with
motorcycles," SMith said.

"We've got Celia Imrie being saucy and sexy, we have got aliens
in your wi-fi, Westminster, the Shard, London - present day,
with the Tardis in the middle of it."

He said he though Coleman had made a "brilliant" start in her
role as Clara Oswald. "She's inventive, she works tirelessly
hard. And I'm really proud of what she's achieved.

"After the Ponds I think the Doctor was a little blue, and I
think she's reignited his curiosity in the universe and her
impossibility has sort of awakened his mind and his soul, and
I think that's something that we'll see grow and evolve as the
series continues."

Coleman said, "It's such a unique job. I can honesty say there
really is no job like Doctor Who. You can be a big kids at work
and run down the corridors being chased by monsters and the
scripts are just absolutely fabulous."

On Smith, "He's just an absolute genuine joy, he's been
absolutely so supportive and totally and utterly there for me
and he's a really good friend."

Executive Producer and Lead Writer Steven Moffat said the new
series would see Doctor Who's biggest secret revealed. "We're
not kidding, we are actually going to do it, we're going to
reveal his biggest secret."



The "biggest secret" which will be revealed can be seen by the title of
the season's final episode ...
