I don't think it would hurt the BBC to just say 'budgets have been cut and we want to keep making the show, so we are doing the best we can', but it seems that they are just making stuff up instead. Moff made a big song and dance about how we would have a bit of a longer wait before series 7 because he wanted it to air in the Autumn/Winter so it could be seen on dark nights as intended. That's all well and good, but now we have to wait again until April, when we will be back to when episodes were airing before the change and back to the light nights. It doesn't make sense. It's obviously a budget thing. We usually would have 14 episodes per year, but by the end of this year we will have had 16 in two years. They may be saying that the season are now split and then selling the DVDs with the total amount under one season, but essentially the seasons have been reduced and we are getting the equivilent of 2 seasons in three years.
