TV WORTH WATCHING: BEST BETS SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 2012


... THE TIMEY-WIMEY OF DOCTOR WHO

BBC America, 9:00 p.m. ET


BBC America sure isn’t making it easy for me to keep trying to persuade the uninitiated of the intrinsic value of Doctor Who – not with a title for a Who special that’s as fanciful as this one. (It reminds me of trying, all those years ago, to insist to my understandably dubious friends that a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer was truly TV worth watching.) Timey-Wimey is cute Whovian for time travel, and this new special examines all the trips back to the future, and to the past and present, that the Doctor and his companions have taken over the years – millions of them. And if I haven’t persuaded you to tune in by now, I won’t waste any more of your timey-wimey. Or any more of miney.

... Daybreakers

9:00 PM, SYFY

Another day, another apocalypse ... so it seems in many of today's horror tales, including this one, in which Earth has been ravaged by a phenomenon that has turned most of society into vampires. Ethan Hawke plays a medical expert who isn't immune to the crisis, but he has enough of his human self left to try to come up with a cure. Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe also appear in the better-than-average-for-this-sort-of-thing cast.

DOCTOR WHO - BBC AMERICA VIDEO: TIMEY-WIMEY OF DOCTOR WHO 10th Doctor NEW Special SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 2012 AT 9/8C

"If I want to change time, I will!"

So declares 30 Rock's SCOTT ADSIT in this exclusive sneak peek at BBC America's All New Special THE TIMEY-WIMEY OF DOCTOR WHO. Don't miss the World Premiere *** Saturday Aug 18 at 9/8c *** immediately followed by the World Premiere of THE NERDIST: TRIBUTE TO TIME TRAVEL at 10/9c, only on BBC America.

Relive a climactic moment from the Tenth Doctor DAVID TENNANT's run in "The Waters of Mars" - with commentary from celebrity Whovians, including the Fifth Doctor's PETER DAVISON, The Nerdist's JONAH RAY & CHLOE DYKSTRA and more.

Debate The Doctor's essential challenge - whether to save a life, or let history play itself out - and discuss why it's essential that The Doctor has a companion along in the TARDIS with him (hint: it's not just that he gets lonely on vacation.)

When the Doctor's around, tomorrow is yesterday, yesterday is tomorrow and 18th century France is in your fireplace. Confused yet? This all new special will try to make sense of all the "wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff."
