After several weeks of waiting for tapes of the new series of Top Gear to arrive across the pond via amphibious car, the new season has finally made it to the States!
Watch the series premiere April 16 at 8/7c on BBC America.
After more than a decade off the air, the epic sci-fi series returns with an all-new look — and the ninth (and beyond) incarnation of everybody’s favorite time-traveling doctor, who promptly sets about fighting nefarious aliens and other foes. Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith star as the Doctor across 5 seasons available for streaming on Netflix.
New York – November 11, 2011 – BBC AMERICA’s General Manager, Perry Simon, today gave the green light for five more specials of The Nerdist, based on comedian, writer, Doctor Who fan and web pundit Chris Hardwick’s hit Nerdist podcast. The commission follows the successful and buzzed-about pilot hosted by Hardwick, which premiered in September as part of BBC AMERICA’s comedy block the Ministry of Laughs. The Nerdist will continue to be produced by Nerdist Industries and Comcast Entertainment Studios, with Chris Hardwick, Alex Murray, Jay James, Gary Snegaroff and K.P. Anderson serving as executive producers.
The five specials (2×60; 3×30) will air throughout the next year, coinciding with big events for the channel. The Nerdist will feature panelists from LA to London, including celebrity guests, comedians, bloggers, and podcasters, in a comedic roundtable discussion. The first special will premiere on December 24, 9:00pm ET/PT, as a one-hour year-end review of all the things that nerds love from pop culture to tech trends and more.
This aired in September, and it was hilarious. They need to make more. Also you should listen to the Nerdist Podcast. It makes me happy.
