BBC announces Doctor Who return

Hi All,

Just a short entry to let you know that the BBC has announced that Doctor Who will return to BBC One in the UK and BBC America on Saturday March 30th:

The date for the BBC America screening was obtained from the BBC America website.

Last year Prime TV in New Zealand screened the first six  episodes of Series 7 two weeks after they had been transmitted in the UK, so one should reasonably expect the same or smaller gap this time around (One would hope!). The latest Christmas special, The Snowmen, was screened in New Zealand on Boxing Day, just hours after the UK transmission.

Anyway, here is the trailer for the upcoming run:


Bye for now,
Nick.

  1. With any luck, Prime will have learned from the Xmas special and play the show within a day or so of the UK.

    Cheers,

    Stan.

  2. Here's hoping. I asked on their official facebook page if they could give us any clue on when we were going to see it over here. The response I got was:

    "Hi Nick, as always with the Doctor we'll do our best to get it on Prime as promptly as we can. We can't confirm our date just yet though!"
