'Doctor Who' returns to BBC America Sept. 1

"Doctor Who" is back Sept. 1 at 9 p.m. for five episodes, per BBC America. "Who's" of course a grand old classic that's been around in various iterations a half a century, and in its dotage is as vital and popular as ever. Success of Matt Smith's Who hasn't hurt either. So this is big "Who" news....BBC offered up a few good quotes from executive producer Steven Moffat who says:  “We have, I think, our biggest range of stories EVER. We've got the return of the Daleks AND the Weeping Angels - both of them poll-topping Doctor Who adversaries - in cracking new stories, we've got Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (it's what you've always wanted), we've got a glorious western with a Cyborg Gunslinger, the most unusual invasion Earth story EVER, and location shooting in New York for the Pond finale.”
