It's been ages since I topped this up so expect some stuff to seem a bit out of date, but it is now at least up to date. Updates are in red.
Episode 1 - Asylum Of The Daleks
Writer: Steven Moffat
Director: Nick Hurran
Plot Outline: Based on scenes shown in the trailer this story will be set in a snow covered landscape. Versions of the Daleks dating back to 1963 will appear. A pre-screening in August hints at a September launch. Titles rumoured for the episode include Extermination of the Daleks and Asylum of the Daleks. Scenes seen while filming include Rory and Amy arguing, with Rory apparantly serving Amy with divorce papers. Caroline Skinner confirmed in Doctor Who Magazine that this episode will feature over 30 different types of Daleks, including Special Weapons Dalek, from every era of the show. This story has also been filmed on the biggest set that Doctor Who has ever used. This was also previously said of episode 2, but has now been outdone according to DWM. Most of the episode was filmed in the studio but outside scenes were also filmed on a bus where a bus driver was seen holding a Dalek eyestalk and another showed Amy and Rory arguing at their house. Moffat has revealed that with this episode Amy and Rory are no longer living in the TARDIS but will instead be picked up and dropped off again for their adventures.
Confirmed Cast: Nicholas Briggs as the voice of the Daleks, David Gyasi will play Harvey, Matt Doman
Episode 2 - Dinosaurs On A Spaceship
Writer: Chris Chibnall
Director: Saul Metzstein
Plot Outline: Filming for this episode began at Dunraven Bay in south Wales, previously used as Bad Wolf Bay. Other location filming took place in Penarth at the house used for the Ponds home. Scenes from the trailer shows the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. According to DWM this episode will be very CGI heavy and feature robots as seen in the early trailer. The title for the episode is Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. The episode features lots of time travelling as the Doctor puts together a team of people, one of which is a game hunter from 1901, Nefertiti and Rory's dad. David Bradley's character is modelled on Peter Stringfellow and has two robot servents. The bulk of filming took place on studio sets for the spaceship. Brian, Rory's dad, has been described by Chibnall as 'a bit brave, a bit crap'.

Episode 3 - A Town Called Mercy
Writer: Toby Whithouse
Director: Saul Metzstein
Plot Outline: Filming for this episode has taken place at locations in Almeria, Spain. Oasys Theme Park, an old western themed town has been used for filming. Matt Smith was pictured riding a horse for filming. The episode will be a western. It has a holding title of The Gunslinger. Ben Browder confirmed via Twitter that the episode was set in the 1870s. The main bad guy, The Reckoner, is apparantly trying to take over the town and the Doctor is drafted in to help. Some characters were seen with odd tattoos on their face and other baddies were seen wearing black hats. A clip shown at SDCC revealed the episode will open with the Doctor entering a saloon and asking for 'Tea. The strong stuff. Leave the bag in.' There will also be a nod to Back to the Future Part III to look out for. The two characters played by Adrian Scarborough and Dominic Kemp have been confirmed as aliens and Matt Smith has said that Scarborough 'steals the show'.
Confirmed Cast: Ben Browder, Rob Cavazos as Walter, Adrian Scarborough as Kahler Jax, Dominic Kemp as Kahler Mas, Joanne Mcquinn as Sadie, Andrew Brooke as The Reckoner
Episode 4 - The Power Of Three
Writer: Chris Chibnall
Director: Douglas Mackinnon
Plot Outline: This title of the story was announced as The Power Of Three. It is the last story filmed with Karen and Arthur. UNIT soldiers have been seen on set and filming has taken place in Caerphilly Castle, Neath Abbey and St. Cadocs Hospital as well as the exterior of the Ponds home in Bute Esplanade. The story will also feature King Henry VIII. According to set reports, the scenes including Henry VIII are for a humourous pre-credits sequence where we find the team escaping from a past adventure and he will not feature in the main bulk of the episode. The main plot revolves around mysterious black cubes that have suddenly appeared everywhere around the world. Set pictures show them stuck over windows and cars, in trees and on pavements. Characters appeared to begin acting strangely and ill if they got too close to them. UNIT are called in to investigate and seem to be focusing their attention on the Ponds home. They are using a castle as their base. Caroline Skinner confirmed in DWM that this episode will focus heavily on Amy and Rory's relationship. Dialogue heard at filming confirms that this episode takes place during Amy and Rory's wedding anniversary party. Jemma Redgrave's character is called Kate Stewart and works for UNIT. Speculation is that she is the daughter of the Brig. Rory is confirmed to be working back as a nurse, but at a different hospital. Some of the script was revealed to be 'There is so much to see, Amy - and I don't want to miss it. Any of it. Because it goes so fast. I'm not running away from things. I'm running to them. Before they flare and fade forever'. Chibnall revealed that he got the indpiration for the story when the MSC Napoli ran aground near his home and the people went to the area and started taking things that had washed up. This episode, more and any other, will be set from the point of view of Amy and Rory and how the Doctor pops in and out of their lives. Mark Williams agreed to star in the episode without even seeing a script.
Confirmed Cast: Jemma Redgrave has been cast as Kate Stewart (rumoured to be the Brigs daughter), Stephen Blything will play Henry VIII, Mark Williams returns as Rory's dad Brian Williams. Other actors include Elliot Barnes-Worrel, Ruthie Henshall, Steven Berkoff as Mr. Shanks, Selva Rasalingam as Ranjit and Alice O'Connell as Laura.
Episode 5 - The Angels Take Manhattan
Writer: Steven Moffat
Director: Nick Hurran
Plot Outline: Episode 5 will see the departure of Amy and Rory as companions to the Doctor. The story will be at least partly set (or at least filmed) in New York throughout April. The Weeping Angels have been confirmed to be making their return in this story. Alex Kingston also returns as River Song. Filming locations included Central Park in New York, Bristol University, Box Cemetary in llanelli and various locations around Cardiff, including the university campus and King Edward VII Avenue. The story will see Rory zapped back in time to the 1930's by an Angel and will see the first outing of the Cherubs, thought to be foot soldiers of the Angels. Funeral scenes were filmed in a cemetary in South Wales, apparantly Rory's funeral. We will also see an old Rory in this episode. The 'contemporary' scenes of the episode are set in September 2018, as seen on the newspaper Amy is reading during filming. A much larger, darker Angel was used for scenes in Cenral Park. This larger Angel was erected on top of a fountain. Amy and River were seen having an upsetting conversation and a couple of characters remark that there is something odd about the Statue of Liberty. River is seen driving around in a vintage car during the 1930s scenes, with Amy and the Doctor with her. Scenes filmed in the cemetary show that the TARDIS appears to have been badly burned at some point. The mob is also apparantly involved in the story, with one of their gangsters apparantly mugging Rory after he lands in the past. The angels in this episode reportedly cause the New York blackout in order to make the Statue of Liberty to move, and will attempt to turn the TARDIS to stone to render it useless. River is undercover during the episode going by the name Melody Malone and has a book written about her. Moffat has called the episode the 'final showdown with the Weeping Angels', so this could, though it's unlikely, be the last we see of them. He has also stated that one character will definitely die.
Confirmed Cast: Alex Kingston as River Song, Mike McShane as Doctor Grayle, Rob David as Sam Garner and Bentley Kalu
Episode 6 - Christmas Special - Title Unconfirmed (rumoured to be The Snowman)
Writer: Steven Moffat
Director: Saul Metzstein
Plot Outline: Doctor Who Adventures has reported that this story will include ghosts. Moffat has previously said that he wrote an audition scene for Jenna that included ghosts that he liked so much he wanted to include in a story, though this may prove to be false. Moffat has promised that this will be the 'most unusual introduction' for a companion ever. Filming reports have shown the cast in Victorian clothing and evil looking snowmen have been seen on set. Filming has taken place in areas of Bristol, Brecon, Monmouth, Cardiff and Newport. Strax, apparantly dead at the end of A Good Man Goes To War, appears to be working as a butler for Madame Vastra. Scenes were also filmed of Jenny and Vastra attending a funeral.
Confirmed Cast: Jenna-Louise Coleman will debut in this story as the new companion (though she appeared as Oswin in Asylum of the Daleks), Neve Macintosh and Catrin Stewart are returning as Vastra and Jenny and Dan Starkey will return as Strax.

Brendan Patricks will play a dual role of twins, and one of them faints a lot whenever he sees Vastra or Strax. Jenny, Vastra and Strax all reappear for a third time in this episode. Rachael Stirlings character was seen on set with red paint patterns around her eyes.
