Head writer and "Who" Messiah Russell Davies had this to say about the next special.
"After the events of Journey's End and The Next Doctor I think it's time to get away from the past and have an adventure with lots of new elements. And lots of fun too!"...."The next Special should be a nice antidote to Christmas, with a bit of sunshine if we're lucky. And with not one but two alien races that you've never seen before."
One alien race that we have seen and that has been name-dropped are intergalactic minotaurs the "Nimons".
POTD airs sometime around Easter.
