Hm. That will make things interesting when releasing the DVDs.

The Guardian has video of Moffat announcing this at a TV festival here.

Hm. That will make things interesting when releasing the DVDs. It's going to make things a bit trickier for the box set of the entire season, certainly, if they keep the schedule for the individual DVD releases. Perhaps they'll delay the season box sets to the following year and include the Christmas special? On the other hand, The Moff did say "The wrong expression would be to say we are splitting it in two. We are making it two separate series." ... so if that's actually the case and not just hyperbole maybe the DVD schedule will be thrown completely off.

It did work really well for BSG - I remember the months of waiting after the cliff hanger of the Pegasus...

I have no comment other than it's nice and refreshing to see TV schedules and format following artisitc lead rather than the other way around.
Everything else will depend on execution. Last season had a few flaws, but it earned enough trust from me to think the split-format must have some good reasons behind it.

I think this is a great idea for all the reason's Moffet stated. I'd imagine the DVD box sets will be split as well. However would this split effect international screening/scheduling though? I've no idea how successful the likes of Being Human or Life on Mars, that have 6/7 episode seasons, are as exports. Also, for a bit of internet speculation, could this year's split facilitate a cleaner change in TARDIS crew than an assistant leaving mid-season? I hope not.

Having crew leave mid-season? Not like it hasn't been done before. Just ask Susan and Adric ;D.
