Since we're a little more than a month away from the new season, I figured I'd start a new thread.

To whet everyone's appetites, here's a mini-episode they just aired for Comic Relief:

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RkmiefoRcfU?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RkmiefoRcfU?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

And yes, starting this season the show will air on BBC America the same day as on the BBC (although with the time difference the Brits still get it first).

We also know this season will be split in two, with a hiatus in the middle.

I felt mixed about the scripts last season. Loved the New Doctor and Amy and Rory but the scripts needed some work.

Ranger

Cool clips!

I'm really digging Matt Smithy as the Doctor so I'm looking forward to this season.

Also, BBCA is currently the previous seasons on Mon-Fri at 10AM and 5PM. It's a great way to revisit old episodes. But it reminds me why I miss Rose Tyler so much.

EDIT: After watching both clips, I'd love to be the meat in an Amy Pond sandwich.

Oh. My. God.

Pond.

Any chance we could discuss these one episode at a this time around, rather than one long monster thread?

So what's the delay between when these air on the BBC and when they'll air on BBC America?

wmansir

That sounds good. I think there is enough interest and it will be easier without the delay.

Hours? BBC usually airs them around 6, 7pm, which is about 2 or 3pm EST. We'll get it the same day, just a few hours off. It'll be worth it if you're used to downloading it if you have BBCAmerica in HD.

rfduncan

Which with DirecTV I do not.

Shazam

I wonder if they'll be cut.

Superman07

We don't have it on FIOS yet either.

Palaver

Another vote for this. I usually don't watch these shows as they air and it's always risky reading the mega-thread, not knowing where the spoilers start.

I'll just leave this here (don't watch in the dark)

I do not have.BBC-A, but I will be renting each episode on either iTunes or Amazon.

Superman07

I think that link is UK specific. Here is the one BBCA put up: http://videos.bbcamerica.com/video/2...n-6-Episode-1/

I'll second that though - don't watch in the dark!

wmansir

Didn't really work for me...maybe if I had watched it in the dark.

Josh-da-man

The title of Neil Gaiman's Doctor Who episode is pure geek bait.

Groucho

I won't spoil myself, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time...

Supermallet

I actually got to ask Neil Gaiman for details about his episode. He told me, but I had to pinky swear not to reveal what he said. So, sorry losers!

RocShemp

I purposefully watched it in the dark. No reaction from me whatsoever.

Shazam

Motherfucker almighty

rfduncan

Oh please... if it was THAT much of a spoiler, they wouldn't have posted it to all WHO fans on Facebook the way they did today...

Nth Power

Those were great clips! I'm excited for the new season!

Meglos

Meh.
