September 8 for BBCA

They pulled that promo after airing it and now it says it's coming in the 'fall' when it airs, so it might be a mistake.

On the official Doctor Who FB page today:

The news you've all been waiting for - we can confirm that Doctor Who will return in the UK, US and Canada on 1st September with Asylum of the Daleks!

UK – 7.20pm on BBC One
US – 9.00pm ET on BBC America
Canada – 9.00pm ET on Space

The BBC America FB page confirmed the US premiere date and time.

Looking good, Matt!

Yay... the Doctor in the Delorean!

Might wanna check to see if there's a bag of a certain powder under the seats.

I'm looking forward to the western episode. Though it looks like typical alien running amok in the past type of story.

It's a shame that they didn't shoot it in Monument Valley...

Neil Gaiman's second episode will feature Warwick Davis!

Im gonna just put this here (WARNING, MONSTER SPOILER):

I approve! I VERY MUCH approve!

I like that now they look like medieval versions of Iron Man. As long as they keep the helmets & don't return to silver jumpsuits, I'm pretty chill with any cyberman redesign.

HOLY S#$%!!!! AWESOME!!! Bring on the figures!!!

darn, figures they stop the 5in figures just when THEY show up!

They look more human shaped and sized and not bigger robots like the Cybusmen. I like these!

I think what I like most about them is they've got a organic look to them. It helps identity these things as actual Cyborgs rather then just Robots with Human Brains.

I look at this design and see a echo of a human body that has had its skin removed and replaced by metal. Very stylized, human body, with bits of metal ribs sticking thru and a massive abdominal muscle. And while the arms do have a bit of shoulder muscle look, they also look to be robotic or cybernetic arms. And I think the legs look robotic and artificial as well. It makes me think we have more than just a brain inside. A human torso and head, within a life support shell,mounted on robotic legs and artificial arms.

What would I have liked to see? I would still love to see bits of the human inside there, a decaying bit of flesh. Something to remind us what these creatures sacrifice to save themselves from destruction long ago on Mondas.

Wish they get the ear muff head designs, like from Invasion to Silver Nemesis.

Personally, I am not shocked by this. Beyond an animated version using the voices of the actors, it would not really work. Unless the actors just play different parts or something. But get some Classic companions at least!
