Doctor Who: Latest News & Videos

Tonight's TV Hot List: Sunday, July 26, 2009

The Storm
9/8 CT NBC
In the tradition of the catastrophic Irwin Allen disaster flicks (The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, The Swarm) of the 1970s comes this two-part spectacle about a billionaire (Treat Williams) who dumps a chunk of his vast fortune into cutting-edge technology that allows for manipulating the weather. (Hey, everybody talks about it, but somebody is finally doing something about it!) Of course, he's got ulterior motives, and when things go awry hurricanes, sandstorms and other meteorological devastation the planet becomes endangered. James Van Der Beek costars as a scientist out to stop him. The conclusion airs next Sunday.

Read on for previews of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Doctor Who, True Blood and Drop Dead Diva.read more

Bionic Woman Makes Appointment with Doctor Who

And let's hope for her sake, it all nets out better than the short-lived NBC reboot did!

Michelle Ryan, who of course starred as EastEnders' Zoe before attempting to fill Jaime Sommers' shoes stateside, has been tapped to guest-star on a Doctor Who special premiering this spring on BBC One.

In the Easter special, which is (perhaps ironically?) titled "Planet of the Dead," Ryan will play ... read more

Premise: A cult favorite about the journeys through the universe of a time-traveling eccentric, a cultural icon who has been portrayed by more than a half dozen actors since the show's 1963 debut on the BBC. The campy sci-fi fantasy developed an equally fanatical following when it was syndicated in the U.S. in the late 1970s, mostly on PBS.
