March 4th, 2010
As UK fans await confirmation of the Series 5 launch transmission date – which is 99.9% certain to be on Saturday 3rd April – today news has surfaced of the start dates for the series in a couple of other countries!
Firstly, Canadian channel Space have announced via their official website that they’ll be airing the series from Saturday April 17th at 9:00PM ET.
Last month it was revealed that the series will have its premiere in the US, on BBC America, on the same day.
Meanwhile, ABC have confirmed that the series will also be screened in Australia from next month, however exact transmission times are still being finalized. We’ll keep you updated!

I think it is looking likely apri 3rd will start the new series. The last “trailer” (for lack of a better word) said EASTER 2010 and good friday is april 2nd this year, so im thinking the chances of an april 3rd debut is likely
Finally realised why the series may actually be broadcast from the 10th, rather than the 3rd: Eurovision this year is on the 29th, one week after Episode Eight will be broadcast if the series begins on the 3rd. If Episode Nine can’t be aired on the 29th for whatever reason, they would have to postpone it for a week, meaning a longer gap between a two-parter.
And I know, I know, “ratings would go up”. They might, however, it would be asking a lot for casual viewers to hang on and watch the second part two weeks after the first part aired – viewers who may even forget that there was a first part and wonder why they’re watching a show that has returned after a break with a conclusion to an awesome cliffhanger (speculation, obviously, given the writer and the villains :D).
the trailer does say easter….. so… basicly, everyone around the world knows whe they get doctor who, EXCEPT where it oes best…. NO-BRAINER ALERT!!!!
