\"Doctor<\/p>\n

I’m so excited about the start of Doctor Who Season Four!\u00a0 It begins airing in England on BBC One<\/a> next Saturday, April 5.\u00a0 For us here in the U.S.A., it starts airing two weeks later on the Sci-Fi channel<\/a> on April 18.\u00a0 This is really unprecedented for Doctor Who.\u00a0 In the U.S.A. we’ve always been months (sometimes years) behind the British schedule.\u00a0 The last time I can recall the U.S.A. and England sharing a similar release schedule for Doctor Who was for “The Five Doctors” that aired WAY back in 1983 in both countries the same week.\u00a0 That was a special celebrating 20 years of the show (now going on 45 years).\u00a0 We haven’t been that caught up with England since.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty jazzed about this new season.\u00a0 I hadn’t realized just how much I missed the show until I watched the trailer.\u00a0 You can see the trailer currently on the BBC Doctor Who site<\/a>.\u00a0 Since last season ended, we’ve had Torchwood<\/a> Season Two and the Sarah Jane Adventures<\/a>\u00a0to tide us over.\u00a0 I’ve really enjoyed Torchwood Season Two.\u00a0 Admittedly I’m a few episodes behind, but the first seven episodes I’ve watched were really enjoyable.\u00a0 I’m WAY behind on Sarah Jane.\u00a0 I’ve got the episodes, it’s just a matter of finding the time to watch them.<\/p>\n

So things to watch for in Season Four of Doctor Who… the returns of the Sontarans, UNIT, Donna, Martha, Rose, and much more I’m sure!\u00a0 Here’s to another … FANTASTIC … season!<\/p>\n
