We greeted the news that the DVD box set of Doctor Who Seaon One had been delayed with trepidation (more info here), but it looks like it was in service of a greater good. The SCI FI Channel, who earlier had passed on picking up the new series, have announced that they will begin airing Season One in March, Friday nights at 9pm. This is the spot Battlestar Galactica currently occupies, and SCI FI is wise to try to keep that audience by scheduling this for immediatley following the BSG season finale.

The DVD box set has been pushed back to July, understandably, to give the US channel a chance to air the episodes before the discs are available on the market. If you haven't seen the series yet, you're in for a treat. It's the best treatment the Doctor has ever gotten, bar none.
