Doctor Who - 14 new episodes on the way

The BBC has commissioned 14 new episodes of 'Doctor Who', but it has not been decided how many will air in 2012.

The Guardian reports that the announcement follows a report in Private Eye which claimed that the producers of the show, BBC Wales, had proposed to make four specials instead of a full series in 2012.

The Guardian quotes a BBC spokesman as saying: "The new commission is a big commitment, not many other shows have such a commitment so far in advance. We do not know yet how many will air in 2012."
