According to TV Tonight, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation have secured the rights to air the next Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, just three weeks after its debut in the United Kingdom.

The long-awaited adventure is due to air on ABC1 on Sunday 6th December, which also means that Australian fans will get the episode before the US, as it was confirmed last week that the episode will air on BBC America at the slightly later date of Saturday 19th December.
