Doctor Who Bids Farewell Later This Month

David Tenant’s reign as Dr. Who’s tenth incarnation of the Time Lord is dolefully winding down over the holidays with a series of closing specials on BBC America.

After the premiere of Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars on Dec. 19, the series will close with the two aptly-titled finales, Doctor Who: The End of Time, Part One and Doctor Who: The End of Time, Part Two, beginning Dec. 26.

Russel T. Davies will have his re-imagination of the series go out with a bang of big-budget effects before the series is handed over to producer Steven Moffat and Matt Smith, who will take over as the 11th Doctor.

The Waters of Mars and The End of Time, Part One and Part Two will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Feb. 2 along with a five-disc Doctor Who: Specials Collection, which includes said episodes as well as The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead and goodies like a 16-page booklet with a foreword by David Tennant.
