SPACE, BBC America: No Doctor Who May 28

The latest episode, The Almost People, is delayed a week in North America due to the Memorial Day Weekend in the US. It will air Saturday, June 4.

BBC America decided to preempt broadcast in the US for the Memorial Day weekend. SPACE can only show the latest episode broadcast in the US on BBC America, which has first run rights in North America, and consequently cannot show the episode even though they broadcast last week’s episode, The Rebel Flesh in the middle of its Victoria Day marathon.

Conseqently, The Almost People will air June 4 and the mid-season finale, A Good Man Goes To War will air Saturday June 10. The last two episodes will air a week behind UK broadcast on the BBC.
