Doctor Who fans to get another 13 episodes in 2011
Doctor Who fans will be treated to another 13 episodes next year.
A spokesman confirmed the sixth series would be the same length as previous runs of the new version.
Steven Moffat, who took over from Russell T Davies as main writer and executive producer, says he will write five of the episodes plus the Christmas special for Matt Smith's second run as the Time Lord.
Moffat explained he had continued to follow the writing schedule of his former boss.
"Having worked out how Russell does it, I thought that's a perfect way of doing it," he said But he admitted he was struggling to balance his workload between Doctor Who and producing new BBC drama Sherlock.
"The last year has been extraordinary. I've had about four days off, and that includes Christmas day," he added.
