Doctor Who’s Greatest Moments on BBC3

Doctor Who’s Greatest Moments is a new three-part documentary series from the Doctor Who Confidential team.

Patrick Mulkern, in the new issue of the Radio Times has this to say:

With 58 Doctor Who Confidentials already under their belt, Gillane Seaborne and her team deliver a trio of themed docs – a fast, fun celebration of all that has made Doctor Who a storming success since its rebirth in 2005. [Parts 2 and 3] Companions and Enemies will follow, but this week it’s the Doctor’s turn in the limelight. What makes the Bachelor of Time tick? Why does he need reigning in occasionally? And who are his own heroes?


As well as clips from the series, there’ll be interviews from the “nearly departed” David Tenant, Freema Agyeman, Georgia Moffett, “next Doctor” David Morrissey and Captain Jack himself, John Barrowman.

Each episode is an hour in length, and the first, The Doctor, will be shown in the UK on BBC3 on Thursday, 20 August 2009 at 8:00 pm.

That's going to decrease the available viewing populace by quite a bit. While everyone with cable gets SyFy, not nearly as many get BBCA. Overall It won't matter to me (or any other computer savvy hardcore fan) because I'll be downloading them like normal on the day after it comes out on the BBC and picking up the series box set later when it comes out.

It doesn't say it's going to be on BBC America at all. Did you see that somewhere else?

This reply has somehow been misdirected to this thread instead of the one it was made for: BBC America Picks Up 5th Series Of Doctor Who

Ah, OK.

Possibly - but BBCA showing of Torchwood: Children of Earth got the channel's highest viewing figures ever, and more than many genre shows on mainstream channels in the US.

It's not the prime market, though - what's most important is the 12 million viewers in the UK, not the 3 million in the US.
