Just for those who were unaware, the first/twenty-seventh season of
Doctor Who will be hitting screens stateside in March on the Sci-Fi Channel, and they've taken an option on the second season (no mention of the Christmas special, but I expect we'll hear soon enough). The bad news is that anyone who was hoping to buy the DVDs of the first season will have to wait a little longer as it's been set back from February to early July.

Of course, there's no mention of anything happening with the classic series, but hopefully if the new series proves a hit it won't be away from US screens for too long.
