When does it start in Britain?
Thanks Omaha
Awesome.
By that, do you mean that BBC America will air both parts of the 2-parter on that night or just part 1?
hopefully before BBCAm does.
I expect Space to follow suit and have the episodes a couple weeks after they air on BBC America.
Thankfully, I think the BBC is realizing that the only way to curb Doctor Who piracy in the U.S. & Canada is to reduce the lag-time between the British air date & the North American air date as much as possible. Doing that while still giving the British 1st look shouldn't be too hard considering the time zone difference. Show the show at the same time on the same date and the U.S. will still get it a minimum of 5 hours after the BBC. (Plus, BBC America can get away with showing it in a later time slot here since in the U.S. it's more of a cult show than a kids show.)
^ There was talk of S6 being on the same day in Britain & BBCA, like the Christmas special was, like you said, to curb the piracy.
But does the BBC show it on Saturday in Britain?

Doctor Who is always* shown on a Saturday in Britain.
DWM confirms that the current schedule is that the series start over Easter weekend. However BBC schedules aren't confirmed until two-weeks before broadcast. However just before Christmas CNN ran an article that suggested Series Six would air on the same day in the US as it did in the UK.
*Except Seasons 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, any Christmas/New year special when Christmas Day or New Years Day doesn't fall on a Saturday and The Waters of Mars.
They're probably afraid Channel 4 will air my big fat gypsy wedding opposite it if they do!
I do wish they'd be a bit more open with start dates, it's really frickin annoying!

Well, ITV have already announced a Coronation Street Easter Special to air on Easter Sunday.
I hope this is true, get Who on before the summer hits and everybody is outside enjoying the weather.
^^Seven episodes, than the mid-season break, followed by the rest of the six in the fall.
