Doctor Who (series 11) The eleventh series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who premiered on 7 October 2018, and will consist of ten episodes. The series is the first to be led by Chris Chibnall as head writer and executive producer, alongside executive producers Matt Strevens and Sam Hoyle, after Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin stepped down after the tenth series. This series is the eleventh to air following the programme's revival in 2005, and is the thirty-seventh season overall. It also marks the beginning of the third production era of the revived series, following Russell T. Davies' run from 2005–2010, and Moffat's from 2010–2017. The eleventh series broadcasts on Sundays, a first in the programme's history, after regular episodes of the revived era have previously been broadcast on Saturdays.
Doctor Who in Canada and the United States In 1978, Tom Baker's first four seasons as the Doctor were sold to PBS stations across the United States. This time, though, Time-Life was ready to have the Doctor poised for American consumption, by having stage and screen actor Howard Da Silva read voiceover recaps of the previous episode and teasers for the next one which would inform the viewer as to what was going on. To accommodate the teasers up to three minutes of original material was cut from each episode. PBS program planners took the show at face value, but it soon achieved cult status. A few commercial stations including WOR in New York and KVOS in Bellingham[4] also aired the show for a few years.
