    Videos on the site are for Canada only, not sure why. I'll miss Tennant's WHO, not to mention Rose and his other tag-a-longs. I watched part of an episode last night, after watching the 39 Steps. More than likely here in the far southern part of Canada (MN receiving Iowa PTV) we are getting old episodes. I started watching when my son, Ken was quite small back in the early 80's. Ken thought the Dr was so cool. I don't remember who played the Dr but he wore a really long black and yellow scarf.

      Nobody played the Dr. better than Tom Baker IMO. I like the newer guys all right but Baker is in a class all by himself.

        Has this started in GB yet, or is this starting both places the same time?

        EDIT: Nevermind, just found the first episode played last night. Probably going to be 6 months before I can see it here.

        She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

          Alright, thanks to an internet site, I just watched it. Really had a good chuckle at the end, the only thing I was disappointed with (not a spoiler) was what the new tardis looked like. (always hoping they would go to something similar to my favorite, wooden inside, like Tom Baker used, again)

            For those of us south of the border, the new season also starts on BBC-America on 4/17.

              PBS also Has the modern Dr. I don't know how if it's the current season though.

                Thanks for the heads-up. I just set my DirecTV HDDVR to record the series.

                  According to PBS.org, "Doctor Who" (they write it "Dr. Who") carriage is determined by your local affiliate. I haven't seen it on our affiliate, UNC-TV, in a while...quick search of their TV schedule doesn't seem to find it.

                  This is probably the trend as contracts expire and BBC gives US distribution exclusively to BBC-A. It also appears that with BBC-A, we'll no longer be a year behind the UK...BBC-UK is currently promoting "The Eleventh Hour" as the latest episode on their site; the same episode we'll get on 4/17.
