Here’s an updated summary of the original post we did about the writers and directors who are working on the 2010 series of Doctor Who. We’ve managed to find proof of the involvement of at least two more writers, as well as the possible involvement of acclaimed director Euros Lyn. Here’s what we can confirm:

Writers:

- Steven Moffat (six episodes)
- Gareth Roberts (two episodes)
- Richard Curtis (one episode)
- Chris Chibnall (two episodes)
- Mark Gatiss (one episode)
- Jack Thorne(Skins) (probably 2011 series)

Directors:

- Adam Smith (Block One and Block Three); IMDB profile
- Andrew Gunn (Block Two – two episodes) Agency profile
- Ashley Way (Block Four – two episodes) IMDB profile
- Jonny Campbell (unknown episodes) IMDB profile

Proof of directors is difficult to find until after they’ve wrapped up their particular block of filming, but we can tell you this :

- Euros Lyn was sighted on set (but not working) during Block Four (warning: link contains spoilers), and the crew is shooting in Trogir, Croatia for a second time (the first trip was back in August) to film scenes for Block Five.

A new logo, new location pics, and confirmation that the BBC is indeed going along with the madness of referring to Matt Smith’s junior outing as the Doctor as “Series 1.” The Three Who Rule also engaged in a spirited discussion about the possibility of an international iPlayer, as well as devoted the ever-popular Miniscope to the work of David Maloney, one of Doctor Who’s finest visualists and a gentleman director to spare. Allons-y!

We at Radio Free Skaro have rarely been keen to spread plot spoilers for upcoming episodes of Doctor Who (apart from that brief time a few months ago when Spoilor went on a rampage), but we’re always interested to see who the key people are behind the production of the show. With production of Series 5/1/31 (or, if you look at this non-spoiler, recent filming pic, it is officially known as Series 1) well underway, tiny details have come to light regarding the identity of the various writers and directors who will bring Matt Smith’s debut series as The Doctor to life. A lengthier confab, including supposition and discussion beyond what can currently be confirmed, is available in Radio Free Skaro Episode #161.

Here’s what we can confirm so far:

Writers:

- Steven Moffat (six episodes)
- Gareth Roberts (two episodes) (updated November 6)
- Richard Curtis (one episode)
- Chris Chibnall (two episodes)

Directors:

- Adam Smith (Block One and Block Three)
- Andrew Gunn (Block Two – two episodes)
- Ashley Way (Block Four – two episodes) (updated November 11)

The BBC has at long last unveiled the new Doctor Who logo for Matt Smith’s foray into time and space travels. The Doctor Who blogs and the Twitterverse asploded.

So…………….. what do we all think of the new logo for Series 5/1/31?

A “DW” TARDIS shape. Lens flares. No title sequence to put it in perspective or context. BIG BLOCK LETTERS.

Is it too soon to say we’re underwhelmed? No? Right then.

Update: YouTube has a copy of the (previously) UK-only video clip that accompanied the logo launch:
