Christmas With The Doctor

December 23, 2011 0 Comments

In all the excitement building up over “The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe” we forgot to mention that it is airing on BBC America day and date with it’s BBC counterpart station overseas.  So, for those of us on the America side of the pond, it will air Christmas Day at 8pm central, and on BBC one in England, 7pm (that’s 1pm our time.)  Space will air the special in Canada the next day.

Also for subscribers of BBC America, you can spend all day with the Doctor, starting at 6am Central when the channel will re-run ALL of series six in it’s entirety, and in order!  Merry Christmas!

A Holiday Delay In Regularly Scheduled Programing

May 19, 2011 3 Comments

The gang at Radio Free Skaro are reporting that due to Memorial Day, BBC America will be delaying the broadcast of Doctor Who that weekend.  You can read their story here.

Series 6 will get a gap between episodes 5 & 6.  As partial compensation for the delay, BBC America will show a Doctor Who marathon on May 28th, featuring the entire run of Series 5 and all of Series 6 to date, including an encore presentation of The Rebel Flesh, but skipping over A Christmas Carol.

Here at Traveling The Vortex, we haven’t had a chance to react to this news, let alone figure out what this means for our current Seven Weeks for Seven Doctors line up with Friday Night WHO.  We’ll keep you posted.

Doctor Who on Xbox LIVE

Here’s a way to get the word out that the new series of Doctor Who is ready to launch soon. Advertise to the millions of gamer geeks on Xbox LIVE.

That is exactly what Microsoft and BBC America are doing.  They are crossing genres to reach a whole other branch of customers.

I, for one, am excited.  Being a fan of DW already, I was aware of the release date.  But, now, I can have my very own TARDIS gamer picture.  I have been waiting for three years, since I fist signed on to the service to have a DW themed picture on my gamertag.  And I can now say that I will probably never change it again.
