As the BBC continues its heartless withholding of confirmation of the premiere date of Season 7 of Doctor Who, BBC America is making a valiant effort to appease us by offering up weekly Doctor Who specials that feature thematic Doctor Who clips and interviews of fans, cast, and production members, followed by a Nerdist special on the same theme.
This week’s offering is about time travel. Ironic, since It’S About Time We Got That Season 7 Premiere Date.
What is Timey-wimey? Ask Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams): “It might make you go a bit wibbly-wobbly… but in a good way!”
Watch the World Premiere of an All New Special, The Timey-wimey Of Doctor Who *** Saturday Aug 18 at 9/8c *** immediately followed by the World Premiere of The Nerdist: Tribute To Time Travel at 10/9c, only on BBC America.
When the Doctor’s around, tomorrow is yesterday, yesterday is tomorrow and...

As we get closer and closer to the Doctor Who Season 7 premiere, whenever it will be (my understanding from British friends is that the BBC holds off on the announcement to stave off competing programming, and BBC America will therefore not announce, either), and as the 50th anniversary for the show approaches next year, we happily soak up all the Who news we can get.
The latest anniversary celebration news comes from the BBC, who have announced that a special entitled An Adventure in Space and Time will air next year on BBC Two. We are expecting that BBC America will air it as well. It will be a 90-minute special there, so it may be two hours here, and it will tell the story of how the show began in the early 1960s.

Admission
Michael Sheen will reunite with Tina Fey in Paul Weitz's "Admission" in which the latter plays an unmarried college admissions counselor who falls for an old flame.
Much like their arrangement during his story arc on "30 Rock", Sheen will play the uptight British boyfriend to Fey’s character. Filming begins next month in New York. [Source: The Hollywood Reporter]
Admissions
Not to be confused with the similarly titled project above, Vera Farmiga and Andy Garcia have joined the cast of Adam Rogers' indie rom-com "Admissions".
This film deals with two people who strike up a spontaneous romance when they meet while taking their children to tour the same college. [Source: Deadline]
Jobs
"The Book of Mormon" musical star Josh Gad is in talks to play Steve Wozniak opposite Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs in Joshua Michael Stern's indie biopic "Jobs".
Wozniak was one of Jobs's Apple co-founders in the 1970s. Though not close,...

The BBC has released a new trailer for Doctor Who‘s season 6.5, set for launch August 27. If you’re like me, you’ll start watching and say Hey I’Ve Seen This – but wait! In and amongst the clips you’ve seen are, carefully cut in, some that you Haven’T Seen before today. But you’ll have to watch carefully so, as a previous Doctor so famously said, Don’T Blink:
BBC America is also weighing in with ways to keep us entertained while we wait for the second half of season six. They have produced three specials – one of which airs after the new episode – that they are calling “Doctor Who ‘Best of’ Specials”. Here’s how they describe them in their Anglophenia blog:
Which Doctor Who monster would make the best roommate? What’s the most fashionable Timelord headgear, fez or Stetson? And, of course, the age-old question,...

Deadline Comic-Con TV correspondent Gary Hodges files: Geeks will be relieved to know that “Gleeks” didn’t overshadow the traditional Comic-Con crowd, the audience for the Doctor Who panel just as massive and twice as loud as Glee’s. The first new episode of Doctor Who will air August 27th on BBC America. Moderated by Wired editor Adam Rogers, the panel started with a reel of footage from last season to remind the audience where they’ve been. Rogers then introduced producers Piers Wenger and Beth Willis, writer Toby Whithouse, and actors Karen Gillan and Matt Smith – the eleventh Doctor himself, at his first convention in the States. Doctor Who, much like Star Trek, is known for its fans as much as anything else, so naturally they dominated the Q&A. The panel took questions from not one but two Daleks (a denizen of the Doctor Who universe), and many...

It's the last day of Comic-Con, and the sound of sonic screwdrivers can be heard throughout Hall H. It can only mean one thing. It's "Doctor Who" panel day, my fellow anglophiles.
Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and writer Toby Whithouse are all on hand with Wired editor Adam Rogers -- and since the wifi seems to be cooperating, I'm liveblogging every geeky moment. Geronimo!
12:33 p.m. - Let's kick things off with a creepy montage of the last few episodes, with all of their baby-stealing, maternal revelations and creepy child-astronauts.
12:37 - Epic introductions, including a theme-music-filled entrance for Matt Smith, who's probably the coolest person here this week (Nathan Fillion, aside).
12:40 - British people pronounce "H" so damn cute.
12:41 - Alex Kingston knew that River Song was Rory and Amy's baby -- and she kept the secret for a long time.
12:44 - "You guys here really commit to the show,...
