BBC America confirmed today that key scenes of the 2011 season premier will be filmed in Utah. The season will open with a 2-part story set in the late 1960s with the Doctor, Amy and Rory on a "secret summons" that leads from the deserts of Utah all the way to the Oval Office.
The story will also guest star Alex Kingston returning to the role of River Song.
So, not only are we getting a mid-season break, but we're also starting on a 2-parter, something that no season has done before. And major US filming. Looks like Moffat's pulling out all the stops to make next season one to remember.
