The next 60-minute Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, will air in the UK on Sunday, November 15 at 7pm on BBC One. In Australia, it's set for the week of December 6 on ABC. In the US, it will air Saturday, December 19 at 9:00pm ET/PT on BBC America/BBC America HD.
The 60-minute special The End of Time and it's as-yet unnamed 75-minute final chapter don't yet have confirmed airdates, though it's pretty obvious that at least one of them—probably the first one—will air on Christmas Day in the UK; my bet would be either Boxing Day or New Year's Day for the second part.
All three of these specials will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in the US on February 2. A box set of all five specials (adding The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead, both of which are already available) will also be released the same day. (In the UK, that date is January 11.)
It thus seems pretty clear that the US air dates for The End of Time et seq. will be sometime between December 25 and February 2.

BTW, it appears that there will be new versions/remakes- not sure exactly- of Blake's 7, Upstairs, Downstairs, plus a few other 70's shows. (This was mentioned on a radio programme last week; can't remember which.)
Hi guys...been a bit busy working on Friars Almanac.
I believe you are looking for Blake 7 (via blake7.com) as they are looking at an animated series and a remake...

He's playing an American? Dear God, I hope his American accent is better than the Elvis impersonation he tried to do in The Idiot's Lantern.
...The 60-minute special The End of Time and it's as-yet unnamed 75-minute final chapter...
Correction: Apparently the *second* part is called "The End of Time," while the name of the *first* part remains unannounced.
Also, the BBC has announced broadcast details for the new six-part animated story, Dreamland; new episodes run each day from November 21 to 26. (I don't comprehend all your "Red Button" and "Freeview" stuff, so I'll just link to the news release.) It'll also be available on bbc.co.uk, but I'm guessing it won't be viewable outside the UK.
I'm sure it'll show up in the US on DVD in a couple of years or something.
David Tennant also made a guest appearance as the Doctor in The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith - episodes 5 & 6 of series 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Is that in the US too??
Are the BBC going to put all the last movies and specials of Tennant's into a box set?
I saw the "the Next Doctor" and "Waters of life" sold separatly and I wanted to get them but held off just in case they are going to put out a box set.
Where on earth did the ability to read the first post! go?
Half saw the trailer, looks good, but who's the woman?

D'oh!
Full of awesome!
I think the Doctor has always been a chaotic good character, but tonight he sways closer to a darker spectrum at the very end. Adelaide's suicide pulls him back, but... interesting that he shows traits associated with the Master, and that's our next Christmas special.
It might actually have been quite interesting to see what storyline could evolve from the Doctor gone rogue; Time Lord Victorious carried to a logical conclusion. But vilifying Doctor Who is the last thing we need--it wasn't all that great when Luke went Dark Side in the Dark Horse books; I don't think we'd enjoy an evil Doctor, no matter how cool it sounds initially.
Another (spoilered) thought I meant to add:
** spoiler omitted **
You know, the Doctor said
Seen two trailers for the Christmas special now....Ohhh that baby's gunna be *good*.
Also you may like this. although it contains borderline spoilers, so be warned. I wasn't.
Also some ood are whittering about the "end of time itself" chew on that....
Man that was an impressive special.

Thanks, that was a very illuminating article.
Call me a fossil though, but Who will always be Tom Baker for me.

The Doctor failed to understand that the reason
The other survivors? Relatively unimportant - a doctor and a systems technician, they'd tell the tale of what happened more or less, and perhaps slightly change the historical perspective, but the legend would be intact, and that's what would matter.
The Doctor didn't understand her motivation and the strength of her resolve, and paid the price for it.

I think that take makes the most sense.
More importantly, the (really cute) reletively unimportant duo would have just said "The Doctor saved us." That wouldn't impact history, since the Doctor is known of even in the 21st century.
I found this while I was being bored and decided to share!
It's called Extended Regenerations and it covers Doctor's 1-9.
There is 3 parts so make sure you watch them all!
One thing that doesn't make sense to me in retrospect. The Dalek's plan involved destroying the planets they had abducted. Yet the Doctor says that they did not kill Adalaide because she was a fixed point in time and her death would have destroyed the time line. So were they planning on abducting her and placing her somewhere else so that the timeline could proceed normally?

Its like going to the produce section set on buying some vegetables, seeing some bizarre squash on the shelf, and realizing you don't know exactly what kind of squash it is or what to do with it, so you just pass it over for something you know how to cook. If you got home and had a chance to look in a cookbook and figure out what it was and what to do, you might go back and get it, but if your history was altered before you had a chance to get back to the grocery store, the squash is safe from your consumption :)
