Dr. Who remake coming to UK, Canada, NZ; mixed reviews

A new edition of Dr. Who, the world's longest-running science fiction series, is coming soon to the UK, New Zealand, and Canada — but Scifi network in the US reportedly passed. The all-new take on the cult series stars Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, and Eccleston will be the ninth actor to play the lead role. The UK gets the show beginning March 26th, Canada on April 5th, and Prime in New Zealand will also carry. Universal HD channel has indicated it may offer the show to its audience in the US.
