Doctor who - Who's going to get killed off?

The show's chief executive (Steven Moffat) promised to kill off the Doctor (Matt Smith), his companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), her husband Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) or the mysterious River Song (Alex Kingston).

He told Doctor Who magazine he'd been having trouble coming up with a way of getting viewers excited about the new series and decided killing one of the cast in the opener, The Impossible Astronaut, was a sure-fire way of keeping fans' interest.

He said: "We're not lying, we're not cheating. One of those four people is going to die.

"The Doctor's darkest hour is coming. Shows like Doctor Who should have big colourful, memorable moments that make you go, 'What the hell?' Well, this is one of them.

"It's hard to create shock in Doctor Who when we've already blown up the universe a couple of times. What do you do next?"

The writer, who also pens hit show Sherlock, added: "When I came up with this heart-wrenching twist, I thought, 'We kill off one of the leads in the season opener. Who's going to stop watching at that point?' It lures you in."

It won't be the first time one of the show's main characters have been "killed off" only to return thanks to a plot device.

Last series saw the death of Rory, once in a hallucination in the episode Amy's Choice and again after he was shot dead by a Silurian and erased from history in Cold Blood.

But he was later returned to health after being mysteriously reincarnated as an Auton at the end of the fifth series when he shot Amy.

She too is revived by the next episode - in time for the pair to help save the universe and get married.

In the show's fourth series a future incarnation of River "dies" in the episode Forest Of The Dead, penned by Moffat, although the Doctor - then played by David Tennant - managed to save her personality in a computer core.

The Doctor too has been fatally wounded several times throughout the show's history - but usually escapes death thanks to his ability as a Time Lord to regenerate.

Hmm so if you think about it he's already killed Amy, Rory and river off already so could it be the Doctor? please comment!

Drama Showcase 1: Not A Well Woman

Starring KATY MANNING

Freefall with Pansy Maude! From Hollywood parties to African huts and beyond...

Extremely visually challenged, Pansy’s quirky view of life is possibly tinged by the way she sees it - or not as the case may be. Pansy is free thinking, foolish, fearless, feisty and fabulous, but she is wrapped in a sunny world of soft edges and clouds of smiling colours, as she ventures into the dark shadows of menace, violence and self destruction.
