New Who trailer

And here is a look at the next Doctor Who special set to air in the UK at Easter.

planetofthedeadAnd here is a look at the next Doctor Who special set to air in the UK at Easter.

“Planet of the Dead” includes scenes shot in Dubai, including with a double decker London bus.

The special guest stars Michelle Ryan and Lee Evans.

Yesterday the UK TV Channel confirmed it would fastrack Torchwood to Aussie viewers. Now we cross our fingers the ABC might move swiftly on this…?

After all there’s not much point holding on to it given there is no full series this year.

  1. Trailer looks really good.

    As someone who is up to date with all the Whoniverse episodes I hope the ABC fasttracks this before UKTV shows Torchwood season 3.

  2. “The first of the 2009 specials, ‘Planet of the Dead’ will air on the ABC over Winter this year. An exact date will be announced closer to broadcast.”

    They, err, do know the internet savvy of this show’s audience, right?

    I’ll be seeing it when it airs in the UK as well. Without a bloody great big blue watermark stain.

  3. Agree with astrogirl… looks like a cross between
    “Midnight”& Pitch Black… even down to a very similar
    looking actress in the former case

  4. Yeah they would be really silly to hold this over for too long. More likely to be downloaded yada yada yada. Maybe once the Easter non-ratings period is over they could put it back in the Tuesday night 8.30 spot.

  5. Exactly, David … time for the ABC to put their lame excuses aside and give the viewers what they want … after all, they are supposed to be “Our ABC” !!!!

    I will be watching it on 12April regardless!

    Jack!

  6. It reminds me of the episode “Midnight” and also the movie Pitch Black to some degree. Still looking forward to seeing it though.

    I’m hoping that the ABC will show it sooner rather than later. I don’t want to see them hold onto all the specials until the end of the year!
