1—[EDIT 1st April 2009 - It has now been confirmed that Planet of the Dead will air on BBC One at 18:45 (BST) on Saturday 11th April 2009. Bah to those of you that said it would be Sunday. I told you so. Only 10 days to wait now and the trailer is on tonight. It's just too exciting.]—
Doctor Who – Planet of the Dead
The BBC press office confirmed that Doctor Who – Planet of the Dead will air week 15, which bizarrely starts on Saturday April 11th and ends on Friday April 17th. The show briefly showed up on the schedule for Saturday 11th but that has since disappeared. That date still seems likely though in fairness.
The press release, as expected gives little away about the show so spoilerphobes will not mind me posting it here below. Not long to wait now.
When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina, in this one-off seasonal special. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand. And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer.
Planet Of The Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm. It is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.
