Those of you who have been resisting the urge to read Martin's reviews of the second season of Doctor Who's current incarnation, hoping that the shows will appear here in the States soon, your efforts have been rewarded. According to Comingsoon.net, the BBC and Sci Fi came to a licensing agreement on Thursday that will allow the American cable network to run the show's second season (or series, as the Brits call it). The series premiere will air on September 29 with a two-hour episode that includes the Christmas Invasion special that introduced the tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant.Considering how popular Series One was on these shores, this announcement seemed like it would be a foregone conclusion. I guess the Beeb could have shown the program on their little-seen BBC America network (Cablevision doesn't even offer it on their digital package in NJ, for crissakes), but they probably would have had a revolt on their hands if they did. Let's just hope Sci Fi doesn't interrupt this show for six months, like they're thinking of doing with the two Stargate shows.
1. I read somewhere, (I know I know, I'm an idiot) that this is what SCIfi is going to run WITH BSG, so that would mean it wouldn't get interupted, (maybe)
