Only Two Weeks Until Doctor Who Season 6!

The new season of the nearly fifty year old TV show premiers on Saturday April 23rd! For the first time ever, the show is being taped in the United States (specifically in Utah) for a two part episode. Other stories include one written by fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, and another one rumored to feature the return of the original Cybermen.

Matt Smith will be reprising his role as the Eleventh Doctor, while Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are returning to play his companions, Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Alex Kingston (of "ER" fame) will return in a recurring role as Dr. River Song. Season 6 will be aired in two parts, with seven episodes airing in Spring, and the remaining six airing in Autumn.

The BBC America trailer looks intriguing, complete with (among other creatures) pirates, nazis, and secret service agents. The equally interesting prelude to episode one features the President of the US (who may or may not be Richard Nixon) apparently getting a call from an alien.
