Doctor Who Gives BBC America Its Best Night Ever

Did you remember to watch last Saturday night?


No Caption Provided

As we approach the final Doctor Who episodes/specials with David Tennant, BBC America has announced that last Saturday's airing of Doctor Who: The Waters Of Mars gave them their highest ever primetime rating.  Over 1.1 million viewers watched on Saturday, December 19, which pushed the BBC America to #13 in coverage rating during the premiere among ad supported cable networks for ages 25-54.

“The final specials starring David Tennant have opened the door for new audiences to this iconic series while taking longtime fans on an incredible journey,” says Richard De Croce, Senior Vice President Programming, BBC AMERICA. “Tennant’s remaining two specials, The End of Time, Part One and Part Two, are the most anticipated episodes in the history of the series – which is why we’re airing them just a day after their UK premiere.”

The final two End Of Time specials premiere on BBC America December 26 at 9:00 pm ET/PT and January 2, 8:30 pm ET/PT.  Don't forget to tune in this Saturday or at least set your DVR.

I really liked it. Tennant does a great job of adding humor and then being completely serious and then having good 'F-Yeah' moments.

@inferiorego: Did you set it to BBC America or is it still set for Sci-Fi (SyFy)?  I almost missed it myself because of that.  I'm sure they'll re-air this ep.

In Canada they're going to have a marathon of the Tennant Dr. Who specials on the Space channel up to the airing of End of Time on Jan 2nd.

That's probably the problem. I'll rectify this situation later today.

@Emperor Gonzo Noir: Just check your cable guide or maybe even BBC America's website.  I'm sure they'll show it again.  Especially if the ratings were that great.  Maybe they'll air some episodes Christmas day or something.  All the specials will be released on DVD/Blu-ray early next year as well.

Sadly, I don't get BBC America. I'll just have to wait for it to show up on dvd or something.

Did everyone watch The End Of Time (part 1) last night?  If you missed it, there will be a marathon on New Years Day (on BBC America).  As it continues on Saturday, they will show part 1 before part 2.
