Article roundup 1st-6th May 2011

With Day of the Moon's overnights being down, this seemed to upset certain elements of the media, though the consolidated ratings for The Impossible Astronaut showed very healthy results (improved still further with iplayer!). Meanwhile plenty of clips and interviews with the next story The Curse of the Black Spot to tantalise. After misleading articles during the week the BBC formally confirmed that The Sarah Jane Adventures would not be continuing. Meanwhile Matt Smith demonstrates his clumsy side by banging his head at a party!
