Finally!
It's been forever (...okay, a little over two months) since our universe was saved from complete annihilation by the Doctor, but thankfully enough, we'll only have to wait a little longer for him to come to the rescue again. That's because it was just announced that the Doctor (and Amy and Rory) will be making their return to television on April 23, 2011. That's a Saturday.
Here's more good news: the premiere date will be the same for the UK and the US, a la "A Christmas Carol." We won't have that annoying gaping continental gap that beleaguered American viewers with series 5. That means, among other good things, that my reviews of Doctor Who will actually be on time (hard to imagine, isn't it?).
The first episode (the first of this year's thirteen episode run in the spring and fall), still untitled, will be the first of a two-part storyline actually set in the U.S. of A. The story will apparently begin in Utah, but according to trailers for the series, it'll eventually reach the Oval Office of the White House. With the Doctor sitting down in the President's chair. Asking for jammy dodgers.
The BBC America premiere will be at 9pm ET.
Who's excited?
Woooooo hooooo! Excited about this and excited about "Outcasts" coming to BBC America as well as part of their Supernatural Saturday. Should be great!
