Well it looks like American audiences will finally get a chance to see the latest adventures of the man known simply as the Doctor.  The Sci-Fi Channel and BBC Worldwide announced an agreement allowing Sci-Fi to start showing all 13 episodes of the first season of the new Doctor Who with an option for season two.  For those who don’t know the tale Doctor Who is a time lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels time and space with his companions in his TARDIS.  One of the longest running shows of all time that ran on the BBC for 26 years, ending in 1989 (and a best forgotten tv-movie in 1996), finally got a new lease on life last year with the adventures of the new Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper).  Start looking for episodes Friday nights 9:00/8:00 on the Sci-Fi Channel beginning in March.
