Series 6 US premiere date, new launch poster revealed!
The US premiere date for Series 6 of Doctor Who has been exclusively confirmed by Entertainment Weekly.
The first episode of the brand new series, part one of the anticipated US two-parter, will air on BBC America on Saturday 23rd April at 9pm ET!
While UK transmission details are still be to confirmed, we can assume that it will start here on the same day, backed up by this tweet posted by the DWM team recently.
The report also unveils this great poster, which is to be used in the US over the coming weeks to promote its premiere. The banner sports the appropriate tagline: “Trust your Doctor” – and we most certainly do! Let us know what you think in the comments!
The Doctor and his companions Amy and Rory find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah to the Oval Office in 1969.
So, the countdown officially begins for US fans, and hopefully it won’t be long until we have concrete details in the UK too! What do you think of the news?

BTW according to many reliable web sources DW will air on the 23rd April 2011 in both the UK and USA with the time difference the Uk get the first viewing as predicted by many whovians…enjoy looking forward to it and watching it to all Whovians worldwide.
Er…. can I just say, this is not the first time this has happened. The Five Doctors had its world premiere in the United States, on the Chicago PBS station WTTW and various other PBS member stations on 23 November 1983. It was transmitted in the United Kingdom two days later on 25 November. Also, this is not the first time Doctor Who has been filmed “the other side of the pond”. The 1996 pilot was filmed in Canada. Shockingly, the 1996 Doctor Who “the movie” had a UK viewing figure of 9.08, it was not considered to be enough for the BBC to continue investing it’s own money into the series. Considering the new series, there having only been 14 episodes in 6 years with higher viewing figures.
Should be a great series can not wait. I would have thought the 6th series would have aired in the U.K first.

Just to clarify: Episode One premieres in the UK first before being broadcast in the US some hours later.
