The newest Doctor Who Special, Planet of the Dead, will premier tonight at 8pm EST on BBC America. In the first of four specials filmed in HD, the Doctor is trapped on a desert alien world with a double decker bus, but no Tardus. He soon discovers terrifying secrets are hidden below the sands, as he is forced to team up with a mysterious thief, Lady Christina. Together, they must find a way back to earth, before they are found and devoured by a ravenous swarm.
Planet of the Dead will be premiering in a 75 minute block tonight at 8pm.
