Americans get the Christmas Special on Christmas Day!!!!

[tomalak301]

I was just browsing my reader feeds of news this morning and found this story and was shocked. For years we've had the special after Easter and it lost so much luster because, well, it wasn't Christmas. When BBC America Got it, things got better having to wait a week or a day, but it still was past Christmas. Well, this year, we're going to end Christmas with Doctor Who. With this news, and that wonderful awesome, amazing interview with Matt Smith that I saw on Youtube, thanks to the Craig Furguson thread, Today has been one hell of an awesome day.

Marry Christmas!!!!!

For years, American fans have been weeks or months behind when it came to airing the “Doctor Who” holiday episode in the United States.
Well, here’s an early present to all of our “Who” fans.
BBC America announced this morning that they will air the upcoming holiday special on Christmas Day.
Yes, that means we’ll get it the same day as it airs in the U.K.
Written by series runner Steven Moffat, this year’s special is called “A Christmas Carol.”
Here’s the press release from BBC America.

Fucksocks! I'll be spending Christmas at my parents, and they don't get BBC America.

About fraking time, why haven't they done that for the rest of the series airing on BBCA? Seriously, that's why some of us in the United States find an alterate means of watching the series instead of waiting a few weeks. Anyway, thats great news and I will be looking foward to it.

Excellent news! If my provider actually adds BBCA HD to the lineup by then it will be perfect.

"Oh this is Christmas!!"

I definitely think that line will be in the special.

Fucksocks! I'll be spending Christmas at my parents, and they don't get BBC America.

You could always give it to them for Christmas.

I just realized...since my son's been born, we've started celebrating Christmas at my parent's house on Christmas night instead of morning...and my parents have a 42" HDTV...and BBC America HD...

Fucksocks!

I love that term, I thought I was the only person who used it though. Unless it's a referrence from somewhere and I have no idea where from!

 

[timelord1010]

It's about time, now if we can get the series to air at the same time as in England life would be almost perfect.
