I just found out through the Chicago Tribune that new episodes of Dr. Who will not be made until 2010. There are supposed to be special episodes, but no American TV station has yet picked them up I would hope that either Sci Fi Channel or BBC America or somebody would pick them up. The show is great and David Tennant makes a GREAT Dr. Who. If you haven't seen the show, the first three seasons of new shows are out on DVD(Christopher Eccleston played the Dr. for one season, then Tennant took over), and are really good.

Yessss! I don't wanna wait that long for the new ones...T__T But wasn't there a Christmas special coming out this year? I'm actually watching a lot of Second Doctor eps on Youtube...but most of them are reconstructed from old pictures and stuff on account of the originals being junked by the BBC...so far Patrick Troughton is probably my other favorite Doctor besides David Tennant. And maybe Peter Davison. ^o^ Speaking of Eccleston...do you read this? dietennant.livejournal.com One of my favorite LJ communities ever! XD

Yes, there is a Christmas special, but according to the Tribune, it's not scheduled to be broadcast on US television.

And it's always possible that Sci Fi Channel or BBC America might pick it up. Sci Fi has broadcast the show in the past and BBC America showed repeats.

Well, as evidenced by my avatar, I am a BIG Doctor Who fan, so I'm glad I found this post. ;D
I'm not sure how the 2009 specials will be aired here in the States, but I'm sure they will at some point.
The saddest thing is that when the show returns for it's 5th Season in 2010, David Tennant won't be in it. Yup, he's declared that he will leave after the specials. I was hoping he'd stay on and do at least one season with Steven Moffat behind the helm, and he says he almost did, but he chose to go out while he's on top (not that he ever couldn't be).
And now the speculation as to who will replace him has started in earnest.

Yep, near the end when he realizes River's data ghost was saved in her sonic screwdirver. *instantly proves geek status* Glad to hear you're getting into the classic series. I grew up on it back when it was a PBS staple, so if you ever have questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
