  1. Didn’t UKTV fast track Torchwood (Children of Earth)? Same channel and production company as Doctor Who. Although I think BBC owns UKTV, which might make a difference.

  2. @Matthew See – thanks for the reminder but like other I think they should be aired on ABC asap, this is one show targeted by downloaders as fans want it now! and with the months of waiting that has made it worse. I was hoping the xMas one would air sooner.

    I mean with high speed Internet and satellite connections it’s not like the physically have to send out tapes/discs, they could release it the moments it finishes airing and have it to other broadcasters with-in hours at the most.

  3. Marena Manzoufas, the Head of ABC Programming had this to say about scheduling Doctor Who here on TV Tonight over two months ago:
    http://tvtonight.com.au/2009/08/abc-timing-the-time-lord.html

    “For the special [Waters of Mars] this year we would be showing it within 4 weeks or so and I would hope the Christmas and New Year special we would show in a 4-6 week period.””

    This means that Waters of Mars could be on the ABC around December 13.

  4. I suspect, when it comes to Doctor Who, the ABC *can’t* “fast track” it.

    There has got to be some reason behind them delaying all the recent Who seasons for months. I suspect it’s money.

    And they already know the fans are not going to wait even a single day regardless.

  5. Seeing Tennant in Sarah Jane Adventures this week has whet my appetite for new Who. I didn’t realise how much I’d missed him. And come January we’re gonna miss him an awful lot more!

  6. It will definitely be worth the wait!
    As well, last week’s episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures in the UK also featured another appearance by David Tennant as the Doctor … it was brilliant, as usual!
