The SCI FI Channel has announced that it will begin airing Season One of BBC‘s, and the world’s longest running scifi series Doctor Who, beginning March.
The 13 episodes, starring Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, will air as part of SCI FI Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, filling the slot normally filled by Stargate: Atlantis which will be starting its summer hiatus at that time.
Special thanks to Walter Gass and Tara Brady for providing the BBC link to this story.
Damn it, the one thing going for the rest of us was that Dr Who had not shown in the States. Now I don’t even have that!!!!
Hallelujah, WOOHOO, and it’s about frack’en time! Finally some decent SciFi on the SciFi channel other than SG1, Atlantis, and BSG!
Grats , about time America got to see Dr Who on TV.
If you go to the official Dr Who page on BBC website, you will see that the BBC is making a big thing of Sci Fi Channel picking up Dr Who.
Just wish Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) would hurry up & get the Xmas invasion & announce they are getting season 2 of Dr Who;

I really only ever randomly heard about Doctor Who, but I have been watching it ever since it hit Sci-Fi, and I have to tell you it’s great. I love the original doctor.
