The new "Doctor Who" started in 2005 (We don't cover the old series yet).  It has been a smash hit ever since, and the show is just great fun.  In the U.S., it airs on BBC America and sometimes on Syfy.  Doctor Who is a Time Lord, the last of his race. He is able to travel through time and space, and he often helps or saves people. He has had many traveling companions through the years.  When The Doctor, as he is known, dies, he can regenerate, so he comes back looking very different. It's very good science fiction, fantasy, drama, and just plain fun!

• On May 4th, the BBC America is releasing Hamlet on Blu-ray and DVD!
  David Tennant and Patrick Stewart star in this critically acclaimed production of Shakespeare's masterpiece from Britain's renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. No recent stage production in Britain has attracted the excitement and nearly unanimous critical praise as this Hamlet. Tennant's interpretation was recognized as defining the role for a generation, and Stewart's complex Claudius won the Olivier award, Britain's highest stage honor. In this specially-shot screen version, filmed on location rather than in the theater, Tennant and Stewart reprise their roles. Dynamic, exciting and contemporary, it breathes new life into Shakespeare's greatest play.
  Featured Actors: David Tennant (Doctor Who), Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek: The Next Generation), Oliver Ford Davis (Waking the Deadi), Penny Downie, Mariah Gale
  DVD/Production Highlights: This title will have additional awareness as it premieres April 28, 2010 on PBS's Great Performances Stars David Tennant (Doctor Who) as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Claudius Based on the critically acclaimed Royal Shakespeare stage production Critics Praise include: "without a doubt, one of the finest productions of Hamlet I have ever seen, led by an actor of extraordinary courage and charisma." - Daily Telegraph and "the finest TV production of Shakespeare... intense and frightening as any modern psychological thriller" Daily Mail OUR REVIEW!
