"Steven Moffat has revealed that the upcoming seventh series of Doctor Who will have standalone episodes. The showrunner explained that the latest series will prioritise several separate stories over a long-running story arc or two-part episodes. &amp;quot;As ever, there&amp;#039;s a bit of both,&amp;quot; he told the Radio Times at Tuesday night&amp;#039;s RTS Awards. &amp;quot;But this time we&amp;#039;re moving closer to stand-alone stories. At this point, we&amp;#039;re not planning any two-parters. So, every week is going to be like a different mad movie.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;We went quite &amp;#039;arc&amp;#039; last time and we&amp;#039;re going stand-alone this time around. But that doesn&amp;#039;t mean that there aren&amp;#039;t those things creeping in. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve got to find a way to make the last episode special, and by God that worked ratings-wise last year. We don&amp;#039;t want to abandon that idea.&amp;quot; When asked for any extra teasers for the new series, Moffat revealed: &amp;quot;Watch out for the title of episode two. I think that&amp;#039;s a belter. It&amp;#039;s one of my favourite titles ever.&amp;quot; Moffat has also played down the possibility of Sherlock&amp;#039;s Benedict Cumberbatch appearing in Doctor Who in the near future. Jenna-Louise Coleman has been rumoured to be replacing Karen Gillan as the new Doctor Who companion. Doctor Who will return to BBC One and BBC America in the autumn. &amp;gt; Doctor Who: Who will be the new companion? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
