BBC America will launch Doctor Who on Saturday, April 23 at 9 p.m ET. That’s Part One of a two-part opener penned by showrunner Steven Moffat (who also did the BBC’s Sherlock reboot — rent it if you’re a Holmes & Watson fan and haven’t seen it yet). This season also includes guest star Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica). Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward) is returning for this round too.
The premiere description has the Brit team filming in North America for the first time: “The Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah — right to the Oval Office in 1969.”

It's about damn time. It seems like forever since the end of season 5.
ReplyDeleteHow soon is it after the UK air date? Do we know when it premieres there?
ReplyDeletenot yet I'm afraid :(
ReplyDeleteshouldn't be more than 1 or 2 weeks tho
According to doctorwhotv.co.uk, the new issue of Doctor Who magazine says that the new series premieres Easter weekend (April 23rd). I believe it is the intention of BBC and BBCA to air all new episodes of Doctor Who on the same day.
ReplyDeleteIt also should be noted that Doctor Who will be airing (still unconfirmed though) both parts of the opening two-parter that weekend. One on Saturday, one on Sunday.
Shouldn't the air date be announced in the UK already then? Seems the BBC is taking their time.
