After getting plenty of disappointment here in Canada with the Dr. Who Xmas specials (airing up to a year late on Space), we are getting a bit more satisfaction here in Canada.  This years’ 2-parter will air (back-to-back) a day later than BBC1′s final episode, but better late than never.  Here’s the great news from SpaceCast.com (ironic, but DW is a BBC/CBC co-production, and SpaceCast is owned by CTV-TeleglobeMedia … their competition!):

In DOCTOR WHO: THE END OF TIME, PART ONE the Doctor embarks on what he knows to be his final journey. There’s only one problem; his psychotic nemesis, the Master, has been reborn. With both determined to cheat death, the battle rages from the wastelands of London to the mysterious Immortality Gate. Meanwhile, the alien race Ood warn of an even greater danger, as a terrible shadow falls across the Universe.

In PART TWO the Master’s plans hurtle out of control. With the sound of drums growing louder, and an ancient trap closing around Earth, the Doctor and his companion must fight alone. But sacrifices must be made, and the deadly prophecy warns: ‘He will knock four times.’

David Tennant stars as the Tenth Doctor; guest stars include John Simm, Bernard Cribbins, Catherine Tate, Timothy Dalton, David Harewood and June Whitfield.  DOCTOR WHO: THE END OF TIME, PART ONE and PART TWO is written by Russell T Davies and directed by Euros Lyn. Producer is Tracie Simpson.

DOCTOR WHO: END OF TIME marks Tennant’s and Davies’ final collaboration on the iconic series before they pass the baton to actor Matt Smith and executive producer Steven Moffat.

We are signaling the end of the Tennant era, and heralding the entry of DW # 11, Matt Smith.  I’m looking forward to see what the new Dr. will be like.
