Doctor Who is coming to America in a spectacular two-part season premiere on Space. The mysterious time traveler, the Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah – right to the Oval Office in 1969. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks about this two-parter penned by ‘Who supremo’ Steven Moffat (Sherlock) and featuring guest star Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica). Also set to return this season, Alex Kingston (ER, FlashForward), as the irrepressible River Song. Part One of the Doctor Who premiere event, “The Impossible Astronaut” airs Saturday, April 23 at 9:00 PM. Part Two, “Day of the Moon” airs Saturday, April 30 at 9:00 PM.
Being able to launch the series across parts of the world on the same day is indeed a wonderful thing, and we couldn’t be happier that SPACE is able to bring the new Doctor Who series to Canadians with minimal delay. Kudos to the team for giving Canadian Doctor Who fans what they wanted the most!
