Sci-Fi has picked up the rights to the BBC’s update of the Dr. Who series, starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper. Entertainment Weekly posted this link to the show’s “teaser” page announcing the U.S. deal. The teaser is cute, though not particularly forthcoming…and is just as low-budget as both the previous and, apparently, current iteration of the show.
Don’t click through too deeply into the site’s pages, though: since the first season of the show has already aired in the UK, the site is positively teeming with spoilers.
The series will begin airing on Sci-Fi in March. Now if only they’d exhume The Timelords’ classic single, “Doctorin’ the Tardis” to use as their theme song. I’m sure Gary Glitter could use the royalties once he gets out of prison…
