Wikipedia: Series 8 Airs on 13th October!

[Nitrus]

Ok Wikipedia has just thrown this in my face:

Quote:Series 8

In December 2008, just before the end of series 7, the BBC announced that series 8 would start filming in March 2009 and air in late 2009,[18] with both Hermione Norris (Ros) and Richard Armitage (Lucas) returning for the new series. Filming finished at the end of May 2009, and will start being aired on the 13th October 2009.[19]

I have checked out the citation and reference and there is no evidence to back this up at all.

HOWEVER, the date fits with the confirmed mid-october range, BUT it is on a Tuesday which I believe differs from the two previous series (correct me if wrong).

What do we think? Possible date?
