Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
A combination of things no doubt, but it also has the benefit of exposing it to a larger audience. It was always sad to see the last 3-4 eps attracting lower ratings due to them being screened in the summer.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
Did anyone spot a few things in the trailer?
Specifically the shot of the tenth Doctors console room? Rory and Amy were also there with a big ball of energy.

Because the American TV industry is geared that way, and the BBC will do whatever is required to give their shows the maximum exposure over there?
Given how the complete series (already broadcast in the UK) would be available on the net before the show's even returned from the notorious mid season break, it would potentially jeopardize the viewing figures, level of success and as such any revenue streams.
Although I've never watched BBC America (Maybe they run UK shows from start to finish?) i would guess the BBC would love to sell their programs to as many networks as they can, so will bend over backwards to make them as US friendly as possible.
Which of course means, at some point, we'll probably have to suffer another American doctor 
Regarding the upcoming series..

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
I can't decide whether to watch it or record it and then watch both parts back to back. I know I will enjoy it but having to wait a week to see what happens is the pits.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
Good ep.
Also nice to see SF/cult TV regulars W. Morgan Sheppard & Mark Sheppard in the same show.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6
So...
- The control room thing in the tunnels reminded me of the ship in "The Lodger". Was it the same?
- How can Matt Smith's Doctor truly die? Wouldn't that mean that Matt Smith would have to be the last one, & so mean that the Doctor couldn't regenerate again if Smith left the show? Must be a way around it...
- The Silence... can someone remind me which ep they/it were in in the previous series?
