BBC America Press Release:
New York – March 24, 2010 – The Doctor has regenerated into a brand-new man, but danger strikes before he can even recover, as Doctor Who returns for a new rebooted series from BAFTA-winning writer Steven Moffat (Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Tintin, Jekyll, Coupling). With his time machine, the TARDIS, wrecked and the sonic screwdriver, his most crucial device destroyed, the new Doctor has just 20 minutes to save the whole world – and only Amy Pond to help him. Doctor Who premieres Saturday, April 17, 9:00p.m. ET/PT. The Doctor Who premiere episode is an extended version with limited commercial interruption.
The reboot series has the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his new travelling companion, the enigmatic Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), together exploring sixteenth century Venice, France during the 1890s and the United Kingdom in the far future, now an entire nation floating in space. But, the Doctor’s enemies are never far behind him including old nemeses the Daleks and Weeping Angels, plus new foes such as alien vampires, humanoid reptiles and a silent menace that follows the Doctor and Amy wherever they go.
Definitely setting the DVR for this one. I’m not sure about the new Doctor — but then I remember saying that about the last one, too (and my husband mocked me about that for a year). Guess I’ll give him a try.
Yeah, I’m not crazy about how young he is. :/
Are the “humanoid reptiles” referring to the Silurians? If so, they’re not new at all, just from the old series.
I have no idea! That’s just the wording BBC America sent.
