BBC To Revive Doctor Who Next Year

Jordan writes: "Orange Today is reporting that the BBC has hired a scriptwriter from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to work on a new Doctor Who series, in celebration of the show's 40th anniversary. And Buffy's Anthony Head, who plays Giles, may be up for the role of the doctor." Update: 07/03 12:27 GMT by T : LoadStar writes: "The Beeb has an official denial that a new Who series is in the works with members of the Buffy production team, as reported yesterday on Slashdot. They report 'Whilst the Cult team quite like the idea of Tony Head as the Doctor in a show guided by members of America's finest fantasy production team, the BBC aren't currently making any such plans.'"

    PBS has already posted on their Dr. Who website that they will pick up these new episodes through syndication. Personally I can't wait till we see it stateside!

      I prefer this PBS article. It boggles the mind, the UK has so much good stuff that US public TV has to import, yet the US seems to be entirely more dependent on TV than any other nation.
