“Meet the Eleventh Doctor and his new companion, Amy Pond, in this dramatic trailer where in a whirling vortex they encounter deadly enemies… ” http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho

Why does it seem to take forever before the US gets to see UK -made television productions?! That’s rhetorical, btw. Just like  for example, American-made (HBO) series True Blood. Season 2 has just gotten underway in Britain while here, across the pond, Season 2 has long since ended and we are looking at Season 3 to begin airing in just a couple of months…I suppose tit for tat, as my mum would say.

BBC America has announced that it will premiere the latest incarnation of venerable sci-fi franchise “Doctor Who” on April 17, 2010.

The new version of the net’s highest-rated show will star Matt Smith as the Doctor (taking over from David Tennant) and will be headed by lead writer Steven Moffat, who wrote for the the show under Russell T. Davies when Davies revived it in 2005. Moffat, whose writing credits include Steven Spielberg’s upcoming “Tintin” film, has enlisted Neil Gaiman, “Pirate Radio” helmer Richard Curtis, and “Torchwood” writers Chris Chibnall and Toby Whitehouse to script the upcoming series, though Gaiman’s contribution is not scheduled to air until the 2011 season.

“Doctor Who” follows an alien called the Doctor and his companion (played this season by Karen Gillan), who travel across time and space searching for adventure. Current season will be set in 16th-century Venice, 1890′s France, and a far-future version of the UK, among other times and locales.
