It has been confirmed by the BBC that Planet of the Dead will be shown not once, not twice, but THREE times over the Easter weekend!

The special will have its long-awaited debut on BBC One and BBC HD on Saturday 11th April at 6:45PM, and it’ll then be repeated, with a red button commentary from David Tennant, Julie Gardner and James Strong, on BBC Three on Easter Sunday at 7PM. It’ll transmit for a third time, again on BBC One and BBC HD, at 5PM on Easter Monday.

Meanwhile, the episode’s edition of Doctor Who Confidential, Desert Storm, will air on BBC Three at 8:30PM on Saturday 11th April, and will be repeated on the channel at 4:10AM and 8PM the next day.

Both programmes will also be available to watch again on the BBC’s iPlayer service, so you have no reason to miss it! Not that you would, of course…
