Just saw this on Facebook (The Doctor Who Hub) and thought of you, though I have no idea what the source is, nor what is actually official…
"Doctor Who Series 8/34 begins filming in December/January with 12 episodes due. We have been promised a full series in 2014, but a split of 6 episodes during 2014 now looks likely, with a Christmas Special in 2014 being the 13th Episode. Steven Moffat is currently writing the first episode with Peter Capaldi as The Doctor, and many stories are already handed in, ready to go and be filmed.
Peter has already filmed his first scenes as The Doctor for the 2013 Christmas Special, will return with Jenna-Louise Coleman as Companion, with Strax, Madame Vastra and Jenny also returning. It's possible we might get a Spring/Early Summer 2014 block of 6 episodes, with Autumn/Winter 2014, the remaining 6 episodes."
