After nearly three months without new programming, Doctor Who will return for a new season beginning April 23, 2011 on BBC America.

The first episode, penned by showrunner Stephen Moffat, kicks off a two-part story that reunites eleventh Doctor lead Matt Smith and his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) after a special summons takes them on an adventure that starts in a Utah desert and leads all the way back to the 1969 White House in Washington, D.C.

There’s no doubt that Law & Order is one of the more popular TV franchises to ever be produced. Even so, the question remains: how can American audiences enjoy the British version of the show, Law & Order: UK, if they happen to have access to it?

A special and quite informative little video was created by Joe Sabia for BBC America to help our nation’s viewers learn the UK ways, enabling them to better enjoy the latest episodes of Law & Order: UK…which also stars Battlestar Galactica alum Jamie Bamber, by the way.

The Doctor Who Christmas Special is only a few weeks away, and BBC America are continuing promotion of A Christmas Carol with the release of a short video featuring cast members Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill discussing the special and the guests acting in the show.

View the “inside-look” video below.

Directed by Toby Haynes, the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special picks up where Series 5 left off, and also features Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins.

Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol will air on both the BBC in the UK and BBC America in the USA on December 25.

It hasn’t even aired on television yet, but BBC has announced that Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 15, 2011.

The Christmas special premieres on BBC AMERICA on Christmas Day at 9PM EST in both the U.S. and the UK, making it the first time the series has aired in both places on the same day [read “˜Doctor Who’ Christmas Special To Air In The US On Christmas Day].

In this tale, inspired by the Charles Dickens holiday classic, Matt Smith returns as the 11th Doctor with Karen Gillan as his companion along with special guest stars Michael Gambon (Harry Potter) and opera diva Katherine Jenkins.

The DVD and Blu-ray will include bonus features such as the behind-the-scenes feature Doctor Who Confidential and the live concert, Doctor Who at the Proms 2010, featuring stars Smith, Gillan and Arthur Darvill as hosts.
