The bit with Chris Hardwick (one of the hosts of the Nerdist Podcast, and also a major Doctor Who fan), concerning "Tweets & e-mails," is also somewhat Doctor Who related, as well as a notice that Matt Smith will be on their podcast, soon to be released on November 22nd.

Also with all the constant references to the unreleased, "rehearsed" musical number, being "leaked," expect it to hopefully crop up somewhere on the internet sometime soon.

For years, American fans have been weeks or months behind when it came to airing the “Doctor Who” holiday episode in the United States.
Well, here’s an early present to all of our “Who” fans.
BBC America announced this morning that they will air the upcoming holiday special on Christmas Day.
Yes, that means we’ll get it the same day as it airs in the U.K.
Written by series runner Steven Moffat, this year’s special is called “A Christmas Carol.”
Here’s the press release from BBC America.

BBC AMERICA TO PREMIERE DOCTOR WHO SPECIAL ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Harry Potter’s Michael GambonMichael Gambon Guest Stars in the Holiday-Themed Adventure

Following Matt Smith’s appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig FergusonThe Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Tuesday November 16, BBC AMERICA announces that the new Doctor Who Christmas Special will premiere in the U.S. for the first time on Christmas Day. The festive Dickens-inspired adventure, A Christmas Carol, is penned by award-winning lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (Sherlock, Coupling) and premieres Saturday, December 25, 9:00 pm ET.

Newlyweds Amy PondAmy Pond (Karen GillanKaren Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur DarvillArthur Darvill) are joined by Harry Potter’s Michael Gambon and Opera diva Katherine JenkinsKatherine Jenkins, for what may be the Doctor’s most Christmassy adventure yet.

Lead Writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, commented on the upcoming special: “Oh, we’re going for broke with this one. It’s all your favorite Christmas movies at once, in an hour, with monsters. And the Doctor. And a honeymoon. And … oh, you’ll see. I’ve honestly never been so excited about writing anything. I was laughing madly as I typed along to Christmas songs in April. My neighbors loved it so much they all moved away and set up a website demanding my execution. But I’m fairly sure they did it ironically.”

Perry Simon, General Manager, Channels, added: “Doctor Who has become a key part of the BBC AMERICA schedule, and having the opportunity to air A Christmas Carol on Christmas Day is like receiving our very own holiday gift. The Timelord may travel through time and space, but he’s certainly found a home at BBC AMERICA.”

Doctor Who is currently filming in Utah for next season’s two-part premiere set in the U.S. during the late ’60s. Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, Alex KingstonAlex Kingston and guest star Mark SheppardMark Sheppard are all in production stateside. The next season premieres spring 2011 on BBC AMERICA.

Thank you Mr. Ferguson

"Fear Her" may have been a series low (even if I liked it), but keep in mind Grame also co-created Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes so he deserves a second shot based on that resume
