Doctor Who is coming to America in a spectacular two-part season premiere on BBC AMERICA. Part one, "The Impossible Astronaut," premieres Saturday, April 23 at 9/8c. The mysterious time traveler, the Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah -- right to the Oval Office in 1969. The two-parter is penned by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (
Sherlock, Jekyll), with Mark Sheppard as guest star. The new season features an episode written by Neil Gaiman and Alex Kingston (
ER, Flash Forward) returns as the irrepressible River Song. Last year,
Doctor Who delivered record ratings for BBC AMERICA and was the #3 top selling TV series on the iTunes Store in the U.S.
