BBC America Presents the U.S. Premiere Screening of the new Doctor Who only at WonderCon!

On April 17 a new era of the BAFTA-winning series, Doctor Who, premieres on BBC AMERICA. From new lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, the series follows the adventures of The Doctor, the mysterious traveler who, with his human companions, journeys throughout all of time and space, facing a variety of foes and righting wrongs. This latest series sees Matt Smith's debut as the new, Eleventh incarnation of the famous Time Lord alongside a new travelling companion, the enigmatic Amy Pond (Karen Gillan).

Doctor Who is television's longest running science fiction series. Here's your chance to see the very first episode weeks before it premieres! Doctor Who premieres Saturday, April 17, 9:00 PM ET/PT on BBC AMERICA.

From February 26th to the 28th, the halls of the LAX Marriot Hotel in Los Angeles, California will be filled with all sorts of monsters, Cybermen, Daleks, and every single incarnation of a man called the Doctor.

For this day will mark the start of the 21st Gallifrey One Convention, the West Coast's largest official Doctor Who convention. Hardcore fanboys and girls from across the country will be congregating to celebrate their favorite time traveling alien.

The convention will have a huge schedule of events ranging from cast meet and greets to discussion panels with the writers and producers of the show. The convention also boasts a large vendor hall that will satisfy even the greatest of the Doctor's fans. There will even be an exact replica of the TARDIS for fans to take pictures with and fulfill their most nerdy of fantasies! If you love the Doctor, then this is not an event to miss.

As I am a huge fan of the Doctor's adventures, I will be in attendance at the convention and will be providing my review upon its completion. . . providing I haven't sold my computer to buy the TARDIS.
