Series 6 UK Air Date ‘TBC’
Schedule information for the Easter week has been released by the BBC and while Doctor Who is listed, the day and time are, at the time of writing, still “to be confirmed”.
According to the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine though, the first episode of Series 6, The Impossible Astronaut, will premiere Saturday 23rd April, while Day of the Moon will air Saturday 30th April. So it looks like we will not be getting a double dose of episodes over the Easter weekend, as was rumoured
If you missed it the other day, here’s the official synopsis for The Impossible Astronaut:
Four envelopes, numbered two, three and four – each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but TARDIS blue – begin the latest series of the time-travelling adventures. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one?
This strange summons reunites The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret that The Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him.
Placing his life entirely in their hands, The Doctor agrees to search for the recipient of the fourth envelope. Just who is Canton Everett Delaware the Third? And what is the relevance of their only other clue: “Space 1969”? Their quest lands them in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former FBI agent Canton in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan, Rory by Arthur Darvill, River Song by Alex Kingston and Canton Everett Delaware the Third by Mark Sheppard.
