BBC America Announces A Christmas Carol Broadcast Date
<
BBC America, earlier today on Twitter announced a Christmas Day broadcast of the 2010 Christmas Special, A Christmas Carol. Speculation had been rampant about the lag time between the UK and North American broadcasts, and now we have the answer – a handful of hours. BBC America will air A Christmas Carol at 9PM EST. Further details are still forthcoming from Canada’s home of Doctor Who, SPACE.
UPDATE: The full BBC America press release also states that the network will air the Doctor Who Prom from this past summer, in addition to a Doctor Who marathon on December 24. Click below to read the full text of the BBC America press release:
Matt Smith On The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson
<
As we at Radio Free Skaro first discussed earlier this year, Matthew Graham has indeed been confirmed as a writer for Series 6. Doctor Who Magazine 428 reports that Graham will be penning episodes 5 & 6, which comprise a two-part story.
On a (likely) related note, Doctor Who Spoilers is reporting the casting of Sarah Smart for an upcoming two-parter to be directed by Julian Simpson. The first filming block comprising episodes 3 & 4 has wrapped and the current filming block comprising Episodes 1 & 2 is underway, and currently filming in America, so we anticipate episodes 5 & 6 to comprise the next filming block. (UPDATE: Graham has himself confirmed this on Twitter.)
Graham, whose previous Doctor Who credit is 2006’s Fear Her has also had great success with Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. While Fear Her may not be a lauded classic for most, having Graham on the Series 6 writing team definitely excites the Three Who Rule!]]>
Dalek on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson
< The Series 5 commentary series resumes again after an intermittent past few weeks (but you surely didn’t mind all the interviews, did you?) with the Three Who Rule’s take on The Hungry Earth, the first part of the retro-themed Silurian story from this past year. Also, news of Christmas episode titles and another impressive Sarah Jane Adventures story help pass the time before the Children in Need preview later this week and Doctor Who’s impending 47th anniversary. Good fun! |

2010 Christmas Special Title Revealed
<
Earlier today, the BBC revealed that the title of this year’s Christmas Special, long known to be a take on A Christmas Carol, will be… A Christmas Carol. Doctor Who has a long tradition of having story titles describing exactly what happens with key plot elements or inspirations (The Dalek Invasion of Earth and The Shakespeare Code to name but two), so it shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to have this title used. While a bit underwhelming in our estimation, the bottom line is we’re coming ever closer to new Doctor Who, and really, isn’t that the best Christmas present we can ask for?
SPACE to Air 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special
<
SPACE has announced it will continue to be the Canadian home of Doctor Who, and will be broadcasting the 2010 Christmas Special this holiday season during its annual 12 Days of Space-mas event. The news was formally announced this week on InnerSPACE though as yet no definite date or time has been released. Radio Free Skaro will of course bring you updates regarding the broadcast as details are known, and keep tuned to the SPACE Podcast for our contributions after each and every Doctor Who episode!
With thanks to Melissa DeBruyn for the initial heads-up.]]>
