BBC America Schedules Doctor Who Specials
October 30, 2009 by Cynthia
With just three episodes to go before a new Doctor moves in, BBC America has added new Who episodes to their December TV schedule.
The next special, Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars airs on BBC America, Saturday December 19, 9:00pm ET/PT. It stars David Tennant and British stage and screen actress Lindsay Duncan (Rome, Langford) as Adelaide, his cleverest and most strong-minded companion. All will be revealed as the Doctor and his companion Adelaide face terror on the Red Planet in one of the scariest adventures yet.
The remaining episodes, starring Tennant, will air over the holiday season as a two-part special. Air dates will be released in early December. Tennant shot a total of four specials before exiting the role – Planet of the Dead was the first one to air, last July, on BBC America.
If you like the shows enough to own them, the BBC will release The Waters of Mars and the two-part finale on DVD and Blu-ray, Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead is already available on DVD and Blu-ray.
