 Sat Jan 14, 2006 12:01 pm SCI FI To Air New Doctor Who |
|
| Quote: | SCI FI Channel announced Jan. 12 that it will air the first season of the BBC's hit SF series Doctor Who, starting in March. The 13 episodes, starring Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, will air as part of SCI FI Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The series, from head writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies, ran originally in the United Kingdom last year and was one of the network's biggest hits ever. An update of the classic Doctor Who show, the series continues in the U.K. with an upcoming second season that will star David Tennant as the Doctor.
"The Doctor's made all sorts of journeys in time and space, but this is one of his most exciting yet!" Davies said in a statement. "I'm a huge fan of the SCI FI Channel, and I'm delighted that Doctor Who is appearing on a channel that supports and enhances the entire genre."
"With its rich history of imaginative storytelling, Doctor Who is a true sci-fi classic," Thomas P. Vitale, SCI FI's senior vice president, programming and original movies, said in a separate statement. "We're excited to add the show to our lineup."
Meanwhile, BBC Video announced that it has moved the proposed U.S. release date of the Doctor Who first-season DVD set to July 4 from its originally planned February launch. |
Americans WATCH this. One of the best Sci-Fi shows out of the UK since.... Well the Old Doctor Who. Make sure you watch it, you'll love it!

I've watched it and it's certainly very enjoyable. I do wish people wouldn't compare it to the Doctor Who episodes from the 60s, 70s and 80s, though. It's not ethical to compare shows from different eras. In some ways, the current Doctor Who series is better, in other ways, the vintage episodes are better.

TrekkieMage, have you ever watched any vintage Doctor Who from the 60s, 70s or 80s?
