The Eleventh Hour – London Only?
First off, three pieces of good news good news: The BBC has now officially confirmed the broadcast date for Matt Smith’s first Doctor Who story, The Eleventh Hour. It will, as expected, be shown on Saturday 3rd April 2010. Second piece of goodnews, it’s apparently an hour long special. According to the Beeb:
The Doctor has regenerated into a brand new man, but danger strikes before he can even recover. With the TARDIS wrecked, and the sonic screwdriver destroyed, the new Doctor has just 20 minutes to save the whole world – and only Amy Pond to help him.
That’s the third piece of good news – the sonic screwdriver destroyed. Like K9 and the psychic paper the screwdriver is a good idea frequently overused by lazy writers.
Now the bad news: As you’ll see from the graphic here the broadcast is apparently London only!
Hopefully that’s just a temporary glitch. The BBC is notoriously London centric so they might well confirm the “main” London date before the “regions”. Fingers crossed.
