Doctor Who Returns!

by E-G August 10, 2006

One of the best shows on SCI FI is coming back this September. The second season of Doctor Who will begin with a two-hour premiere that will include the “Christmas Invasion” special in which David Tennant was introduced as the tenth Time Lord. I totally blanked and didn’t even realize that David Tennant was the dude from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (the one who keeps sticking out his tongue, Voldemort’s bitch, any more clues may ruin the flick).

The rest of the announcement is a click away.

SCI FI Channel and BBC Worldwide Americas today announced a major licensing agreement for the second season of Doctor Who. The series will return to SCI FI in September 2006, kicking off with a two-hour premiere that will include the “Christmas Invasion” special in which David Tennant (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) was introduced as the tenth Time Lord.

Billie Piper returns as the Doctor’s feisty young companion, Rose Tyler, and together they will travel through time and space battling new and returning aliens and monsters.

Chris Regina, Vice President of Programming, SCI FI Channel, said “Our audience has clearly embraced ‘Doctor Who’ and it has delivered a significant increase in viewers in the time period. We are looking forward to keeping the momentum going with David Tennant as the new Doctor.”

Executive Producer and Lead Writer Russell T Davies says, “We were delighted by the first season’s success in the US, and can promise new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak, and some terrifying new aliens in Season Two.”
