On April 17 a new era of the BAFTA-winning series, Doctor Who, premieres on BBC AMERICA. From new lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, the series follows the adventures of The Doctor, the mysterious traveler who, with his human companions, journeys throughout all of time and space, facing a variety of foes and righting wrongs. This latest series sees Matt Smith‘s debut as the new, Eleventh incarnation of the famous Time Lord alongside a new traveling companion, the enigmatic Amy Pond (Karen Gillan). Together they explore sixteenth century Venice, France during the 1890s, and the United Kingdom in the far future, now an entire nation floating in space.

Lucky WonderCon 2010 attendees get to see it a few weeks early when it screens at the annual San Francisco geek gathering on Saturday, April 3rd! I hope to be among the lucky few in the crowd as this new era of The Doctor.

Doctor Who premieres Saturday, April 17, 9:00p.m. ET/PT. Doctor Who premiere episode is an extended version with limited commercial interruption. Check out the brand new trailer below…

The series has episodes written by Richard Curtis (Pirate Radio, Love Actually) and Toby Whithouse (Being Human, Torchwood) and guest stars including Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward), James Corden (Gavin & Stacey, The History Boys) and Oscar nominee Sophie Okonedo (The Secret Life of Bees, Hotel Rwanda) and Tony Curran (24).

To get an idea of the geek I am, look at my chest. Nearly all of my t-shirts feature something from Star Wars, Lost, Venture Bros, Firefly, Back to the Future, or Marvel heroes. And, yes, they often have the San Diego Comic-Con logo on the sleeve. I need nicer clothes.
