Today the BBC Press Office officially confirmed transmission dates and times for The End of Time Part One and The End of Time Part Two. The UK will see The End of Time Part One at 6:00 PM GMT on Friday, 25 December whilst Part Two will go out on Friday, 1 January from 6:40 PM GMT. Speculation has been rife of late and it’s always at least a bit wonderful to see nobody had guessed correctly.
On the other side of the pond, SPACE has today released when Canada will see Tennant’s finale. While The Waters of Mars will be seen at the same time on SPACE and BBC America, Canadians will have to wait a whole extra week to see The End of Time Part One. SPACE will be running a Doctor Who-themed marathon on Saturday, January 2 featuring a double run of Torchwood: Children of Earth followed by the Doctor Who gap year specials in order. The End of Time Part One will finally air at 8:00 PM EST in an 80-minute slot while Part Two will follow immediately after at 9:20 PM EST in a 100-minute slot. (SPACE is a commercial network and therefore has to allow time for advertising.)
For those in Canada or otherwise with access to SPACE, it looks like January 2 is going to be a good day to be a couch potato.

After an eventful few weeks of New Who and rampant podcest, the Three Who Rule (reduced to Two Who Adjudicate for this episode) settled down to news, shenanigans, and rampant avoiding of anything that could possibly be construed as a spoiler. But hope and glory came in the form of Malcolm Clarke, the first musician to grace the Miniscope (yes, it’s back, at least temporarily) and an underrated craftsman in the world of Classic Who. Synthesizers from 1972 and marching Cyberman themes ahoy! On November-23-2009 11 Comments
To commemorate the 46th anniversary of the debut of Doctor Who, The Three Who Rule felt it only fitting to invite fellow podcasting super-giant Ken Deep of On November-20-2009 1 Comment
Tonight on the annual Children in Need charity drive broadcast, a clip from the upcoming The End of Time Part One was shown. While we at Radio Free Skaro are hesitant to consider things formally announced by the BBC to be spoilers, there are those who will wish to ignore this should they wish to not know any content from the Christmas Day episode.

The BBC this morning formally announced the previously unknown title for the Christmas Day episode. While it has been known for months that Tennant’s final episode would be called “The End of Time” the production team was keeping things hush hush for the penultimate episode, though that silence has now been broken and we now know the title to be — wait for it — “The End of Time Part One“.
Okay, call it a smidge underwhelming that they’ve teased us like this only to give us something we already knew but for us old school fans there’s a certain nostalgia that makes us grin from ear to ear to know something in NuWho will finally be called “Part One” and “Part Two”.

Simon Brew over at Den of Geek has posted a wonderful summary article outlining a hefty chunk of what has been gleaned from interviews and formal announcements, along with sneaky peeks from fellow fans and other sources, about David Tennant’s finale beginning next month. Radio Free Skaro’s own Chris was fortunate enough to have a pedantic hand in the piece, which quite obviously carries with it the heftiest of spoiler tags. Anyone who’s been fortunate enough to keep their head buried in the sand with respect to spoilers should most definitely NOT take a look.
The article can be found here, and it’s definitely worth reiterating the VERY spoilery nature of the piece.
