DOCTOR WHO’s Epic Win in Ratings
Pix Princss | 6/8/2010 12:09:22 PM

You were watching Doctor Who last weekend weren’t you? Because this past Saturday, more viewers prescribed to DOCTOR WHO than any other program in its time slot on Canadian television. Nearly 400,000 viewers clocked in at 9 p.m. ET for SPACE’s signature series, beating out competing Canadian conventional and specialty networks. W00t!

This is a big, awesome deal for us – we are thrilled that so many of you are loving the new Doctor. In the upcoming episode of DOCTOR WHO, “The Hungry Earth” it’s 2020 and the most ambitious drilling project in history has reached deeper beneath the Earth’s crust than man has ever gone before – but now the ground itself is fighting back. The Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive in a tiny mining village and find themselves plunged into a battle against a deadly danger from a bygone age. Episode 8 premieres Saturday, June 12 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

We like to engage in Timelord Talk in the SPACE offices, and as you might know, Teddy and Ajay have a theory about The Crack that has been following Amy and The Doctor around space and time. They theorize that The Doctor created a crack by going back into his own timeline, thus creating two doctors in the timeline. What do you think of this theory?

With only six episodes of DOCTOR WHO remaining, fans can celebrate the season finale of this critical and ratings hit with an INNERSPACE live-to-air special Saturday, July 24 at 10 p.m. ET. From SPACE headquarters at 299 Queen St. W in Toronto, hosts Ajay Fry and Teddy Wilson cap off the season finale in front of a live studio audience. More details about this live-to-air special are to be announced, including guest panelists and live web chats.]]>
