Doctor Who Series 7 Premiere Confirmed as September 1

Series 7 will contrinue the trend started by series 6, in that the episodes will air the same day in the UK and US. The UK will get the episodes a few hours earlier due to the time differences, but Americans won't have to wait for weeks at a time to be on the same footing as the Brits (even though, to be fair, the Brits paid for it).

The first five episodes of series 7 will air this fall, with a Christmas special in December, and then the remaining eight episodes airing next spring. Here's a glimpse at the schedule of episodes:

September 1: "Asylum of the Daleks" (Season Premiere)

September 8: "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship"

September 15: "A Town Called Mercy"

September 22: "The Power of Three"

September 29: "The Angels Take Manhattan"

So, there it is. Like a brief breeze during a hot day, Doctor Who's series 7 will be gone just as soon as you know it, not even making it to October. There's a reason the episodes are divided this way, though: these first five episodes will feature an arc that will eventually culminate in the Doctor having to say goodbye to Amy and Rory, who will depart from the series (under as-yet unknown circumstances) in "The Angles Take Manhattan." Undoubtedly it will be an episode that draws plenty of viewers to tears.

Doctor Who Series 7 will premiere September 1 in the UK and the US. Glad we can fnally have that cleared up.
