Tx Transmission of Planet of the Dead News Round-Up

The BBC Press Office has confirmed that the Doctor Who special Planet of the Dead will air during the week beginning 11th April. Although the series is listed as "unplaced" in the main press release, it also briefly appeared on the page for Saturday's programmes. Final airdate and time slot will be confirmed when the listings are sent to magazines at the end of next week.Planet of the Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm.

It is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts. The BBC gives the following description for the special:

When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina, in this one-off seasonal special. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand. And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer.Planet Of The Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm and is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.

We where all sure of news today, but still all we know is the Doctor Who Easter Special Planet Of The Dead will be broadcast sometime over the Easter Holiday - the date and time is still to be confirmed by BBC1! Which means the Easter Sunday reports could well be guesses, and my educated guess of Saturday 11th of April at 7pm may still be correct.

Saturday is Doctor Who day, not Sunday!Heres what the BBC said about the show earlier;When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina, in this one-off seasonal special. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand.

And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer.Planet Of The Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm. It is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.

I'm still routing for my original guess for a transmission time/date :) I still think the first Planet Of The Dead trailer will be on this Saturday too!

The BBC Press Office was today updated with scheduling information for Easter weekend, strongly pointing towards either an Easter Saturday, April 11th, or Easter Sunday, April 12th, transmission date for Planet of the Dead.

Although an exact airtime hasn’t been announced yet, the website has released the official synopsis for the episode, which stars David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm.

The episode is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.

(note that the bbc has taken of the orgianl date of Aprill 11th to revise its schedule)
