Plans for a new Dr Who series are in crisis as the show approaches its 50th birthday, The Sun can reveal. Boss Steven Moffat wants to make two "specials" of the hit instead of a long run.

[Yesterday a 13-part Series 7 was confirmed, plus a Christmas special.]

Rumours about the BBC1 show's future circulated after one of its three main producers, Piers Wenger, quit last month.

[Just because someone left for another job doesn't mean anything. People do leave for other jobs. Always have, always will.]

The Beeb yesterday played down ideas of a rift between Moffat - who axed the Daleks - and BBC controller Danny Cohen. A BBC source said: "Steven's the boss. At this stage we have no idea if there will be two episodes or if there will be ten."

[We have already covered why the Daleks are taking a break, and it sounds like a good reason to me!]

Bosses have commissioned 14 new episodes with Matt Smith as the timelord. But they've been given no timeline as to when they will air, despite 2012 being Dr Who's 50th anniversary.

[It's NOT "timelord", it's Time Lord. 2013 is the Doctor's 50th anniversary, NOT 2012. Don't you just despise amateurs? It seems the gutter press can't even use Wikipedia. Quote— "Doctor Who first appeared on BBC television at 17:15 GMT on 23 November 1963." If The Sun look at their masthead, they can see the date. Here is a calculator so they can work out the 50th anniversary. And we don't have a transmission date for Series 7 yet, as the BBC don't work them out a year ahead, but as always it should premier around Easter 2012.]
