The new season of the clever, funny, sexy, all-around-great current iteration of Doctor Who starts on Saturday, April 23, on BBC America. It’ll be the first of a two-part episode written by showrunner Steven Moffat, the same dude responsible for that badass new Sherlock show. (“Crunching of gears: from Who to Sherlock,” Moffat tweeted early this morning. “Basically fewer exclamation marks.”) I’ve watched this trailer three times already. Might watch it again here in a minute, actually.

Fucking stupid British show my dad watched when I was growing up.
Only good thing it ever accomplished was make a pretty neat theme song for better, more creative people to remix.
Why can’t we get all excited about good BBC series like Doc Martin or Cracker?
1. Graham is an ignorant slut.
2. “Fear me. I’ve killed all of them.” Awesome!
3. The Doctor painted up as a sad clown? Gravy.
Well…unlike some haters, I’m looking fwd to this! Matt Smith has grown on me just like Peter Davidson did after Tom Baker.
What made that Sad Clown shot creepier? I coulda sworn it was in the Overlook Hotel.
I liked the first season of the “new” Doctor Who the best, but Tom Baker + Lalla Ward + K9 will forever occupy a phonebooth shaped hole in my heart. Seriously, that is the most entertaining shit ever.
Graham…it’s a really good show. Stop hating things you haven’t even watched.
@kiala: I watched a couple of seasons of the reboot and a season of Torchwood. When is it supposed to be good and not just live action adaptations of slash-fiction?
WE AGREE COMPLETELY WITH GRAHAM. DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW. OBEY!
I strongly feel as though I should ban that Dalek, but I guess it’s not technically violating our TOS….
Never mind the Daleks, Graham is in trouble!
Ban them both.
THE DALEKS WILL NOT BE BANNED FROM COMMENTING ON BLOGTOWN! THE DALEKS REIGN SUPREME! OBEY! OBEY!
Wait. What I really want to know is….
Which pubs will be hosting Dr. Who nights, showing the newest episodes?
Lushes, too arrogant for TV, NEED to know!!!
