Last week I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Sci-Fi Party Line podcast. I was invited to come on episode 39 of the podcast hosted by Cat ( @fancyfembot ) and Eric Escamilla ( @Bullitt33 ) (we just had Eric on with us in Doctor Who: Podshock 169).

In it, we discuss The Sarah Jane Adventures episode, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith which guest stars David Tennant, the preview clip of Dreamland (the new animated Doctor Who adventure), and the upcoming Doctor Who special, Waters of Mars. We even ponder on the upcoming new series starring Matt Smith with Steven Moffat. Plus we touch upon Torchwood as well in this episode.

"It feels different this time."

On the heels of the transmission date for Waters of Mars on the BBC in the UK going public, BBC America has now announced the date they will broadcast it in the US. Doctor Who: Waters of Mars will air on BBC America on Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 9pm ET/PT. 

Visit the BBC America site for further information on Waters of Mars on BBC America.

Now that David Tennant has "spilled the beans" on the transmission date for Waters of Mars, we have scheduled our traditional live over-the-net Doctor Who: Podshock episode reviewing it for the following week, the 22nd of November 2009 at 5pm (EST) on Talkshoe.

Join us for this live over-the-net recording of Doctor Who: Podshock reviewing Waters of Mars either by calling into the show or joining the online chat room taking place during the show. Join us by signing up with Talkshoe (it is free), and join us live.

David Tennant has confirmed the transmission date for Doctor Who: Waters of Mars on GMTV today to be on Sunday, the 15th of November 2009 at 7pm (in the UK). Thanks to @capricorn_one for the information.

This breaks from the usual Saturday tradition for transmissions of new Doctor Who episodes. We were predicting on a Saturday, the 14th of November showing of the special as indicated in the upcoming Doctor Who: Podshock episode 167.

This means it will not 'conflict' with our next Gallifreyan Embassy / Doctor Who: Podshock Second Life Meet Up taking place on the 14th of November.
