New Clip -- Paley Center NYC Hosts #DoctorWho Scribe Moffat, Stars Smith, Gillan on April 12

Details, from the Paley Center website:

A new era of the legendary BAFTA-winning series, Doctor Who, begins April 17 on BBC America. The iconic series, television's longest-running science fiction program, 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 from BAFTA-winning writer Steven Moffat 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). Together they explore sixteenth century Venice, France during the 1890s, and the United Kingdom in the far future, now an entire nation floating in space. The Paley Center is delighted to welcome Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and executive producer and lifelong Who-fan Steven Moffat for a screening of the premiere episode and to discuss the newly rebooted series.  

In association with BBC America.

Tickets are complimentary courtesy of BBC America, but are very limited, and you must make a reservation.

Members can reserve tickets beginning April 1 at noon.

General Public may reserve beginning April 5 at noon. 

Hey, how enigmatic is Amy Pond, anyway? What is it that we don't yet know about her? I do know one thing, she met the Doctor before our series five action starts. What else makes her enigmatic? Dunno. Yet.

Why am I never on the correct coast for stuff like this?

Okay, who's going to this, who will take pics, who will record the thing and when will you send me links so I can share? Lemme know, you know how to find me.

About that new clip, it was shown on CBBC (the kid's BBC channel) just today, I believe, and thanks to someone at YouTube you can watch it by clicking here.

I'm so naive. I figured I'd go to midtown, get some other stuff done, then head over to the Paley Center and make my reservation.

I got there by 12:45 and they were already out of space.

Apparently the phone lines were crazy and online the system crashed!

But thanks to a friend from the UN, it looks like I'm going anyway. I'll bring along my camera - but only for the stuff onstage; would be daft to take picturs of the screen when it's going to be already up online somewhere. And I'll take copious notes.

Tickets for this event went in a hot minute and I'm a member! The auditorium isn't large and they usually set up the screening rooms with closed circuit (they did that for the recent "Caprica" event, although I was lucky enough to be in the auditorium. The Paley site specifies that this will be an "auditorium only" event. BOO!
