th anniversary of the sci-fi series. Talking to The Sun, Smith said that head writer and current show mastermind Steven Moffat has already been talking ideas for the next series. €œHis first episode sounds great," the actor said. It hasn't been written yet but the idea is as brilliant and as mental as you'd expect from Steven. So there's a lot to look forward to. When Steven was going to pitch the next season to me not long ago, he said, 'Are you ready to cry?'" He also promised that fans will not be disappointed by the 50th anniversary celebrations when they finally arrive. €œWe want to do 50 years - and everyone that's been associated with the show - justice," he added. "We want to go, 'Look, world, here is Doctor Who. It's 50 years old, a science fiction show, still going and going from strength to strength'. "Steven will do something brilliant. He'll do something grand, or maybe something very simple, but he'll come to it as a fan. "He'll go, 'What would I want to see?'" The 7th series of Doctor Who is expected to debut on the 25th August.
