To mark the return of Doctor Who for the final half of Season 6, BBC America will air three new specials, looking at different aspects of the series.

Best of the Doctor will be shown on August 13 at 9 PM. Best of the Monsters will air a week later on August 20 again at 9. The final special is Best of the Companions and will air immediately after the Season 6.2 premier Let's Kill Hitler on August 27.

In other news, Moffat has given some teasers about this year's Christmas special: he might once again be reworking a classic Christmas story, it might have a period setting, and it's not entirely set on Earth. Also, Matt Smith nearly "fell out of his chair" when he was told the title.

Wonder what it could be!

EDIT:

The Doctor Who News Page has revealed more information about the three 'Best Of...' specials airing on BBC America. The programs include interviews from celebrity Doctor Who fans as well as viewers at San Diego Comic-Con. You can watch a preview clip HERE.
