Following Matt Smith's appearance on The 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.

In the run up to A Christmas Carol on Christmas Day, BBC AMERICA will be running a marathon of the series, beginning at midnight on December 24 and leading up to this year's special. The marathon includes previous Christmas specials and a selection of favorite Doctor Who episodes from recent seasons.

Steven Moffat has confirmed in this months Doctor Who Magazine that Season 6 will start in 1960's America, and we will be visiting the Oval Office in the White House, Washington.

"The Doctor has visited every weird and wonderful planet you can imagine, so he was bound to get round to America eventually!" said Moffat. "And of course every Doctor Who fan will be jumping up and down and saying he's been in America before. But not for real, not on location, and not with a story like this one!"

This photo from the first day of the Utah shooting shows Amy with the same marks that River had on her arms when filming with Mark Shepard in Cardiff.

But is Kazran Sardick, the richest man in Sardicktown, beyond redemption? And what is lurking in the fogs of Christmas Eve?

The Doctor will face a clone of himself in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who.

That?s according to Unreality TV who report that:

?An army of monsters from outer space will make a carbon copy of the handsome doctor ? who is played by Matt Smith ? as they invade Earth.

?However, the Time Lord will only discover the clone when he comes face to face with himself as he investigates the alien invasion, and tries to foil the extra-terrestrial beings? plans to take over the world.

?His companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) also become confused when they can?t work out which is the real doctor and which is his double, and who they should be taking instructions from.?

The grandmaster himself, Steven Moffat, has been teasing away again, this time in the Radio Times and this is what he had to say about Series 6: ?Silence will Fall! At long last River Song will introduce herself. The true nature of the relationship between Amy Pond and her Doctor will be revealed. And, most importantly, a good man will die ? a good man, and a hero to many.?

This would appear to go back to Flesh and Stone when River Song said she killed ?a good man?the best i?ve ever known?.

So who is good and a hero to many? The most obvious would be the Doctor, but as we all know with Steven Moffat the real answer will probably be something more clever that that.

However, if the Doctor was to somehow die, it would make for the big cliffhanger we?ve been promised. We all know he?d be back, but it would get us all talking during the break.

Sorry to go against everyone but Im already bored of Moffats obsessions with everything being a fairytale. The doctors life was never a fairytale and it bugs me that we are getting these stories that look like they came from Narnia.
