Dying for More "Doctor Who"? A Sneak Peek of the Promo for the 2008 Christmas Special

Hungry for more of Doctor Who now that the fourth season has ended here in the States?

Fret not, faithful Who fanatics, I've got a look at the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas Special, which stars David Tennant, David Morrissey (State of Play), and Dervla Kirwan (Ballykissangel) and features the return of the Cybermen in Victorian-era England. Or more specifically, Christmas Eve 1851.

Let's take a look at BBC's promo, which ran immediately following the end of Doctor Who's fourth season finale, "Journey's End."



And, if that wasn't enough, the extended promo which aired during last week's Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con:



I don't know about you but I cannot bloody wait.

Very cool! Definitely cheered me up after the fantastic (but sad) season finale!

I've never seen a Doctor Who ep with more emotional impact. It was an unbelievable end(?) to a number of storylines and, in a way, all three seasons.

No spoilers here (since it just aired last night), but I will say that the ending was almost the worst possible outcome for the affected companion. But at least one of them got--essentially--what she wanted.

Everything has its cost though.

Katie Lee Packs Her Knives: Breaking News from Bravo's "Top Chef"

The android has left the building. Or the test kitchen, anyway. Top Chef 's robotic host Katie Lee Joel, the veritable "Uptown Girl" herself (pictured at left), will NOT be sticking around for a second course of Bravo's hit culinary competition. According to a well-placed insider, Joel will "not be returning" to the show. No reason for her departure was cited. Unfortunately, the perfect replacement for Joel, Top Chef judge and professional chef Tom Colicchio, will not be taking over as the reality series' host (damn!). Instead, the show's producers are currently scouring to find a replacement for Joel. Top Chef 's second season was announced by Bravo last month, but no return date has been set for the series' ten-episode sophomore season. Stay tuned as this story develops. UPDATE (6/27): Bravo has now confirmed the above story .

BuzzFeed: Meet The TV Successor To "Serial"

HBO's stranger-than-fiction true crime documentary The Jinx   — about real estate heir Robert Durst — brings the chills and thrills missing since Serial   wrapped up its first season. Serial   obsessives: HBO's latest documentary series is exactly what you've been waiting for.   The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst , like Sarah Koenig's beloved podcast, sifts through old documents, finds new leads from fresh interviews, and seeks to determine just what happened on a fateful day in which the most foul murder was committed. And, also like  Serial  before it,  The Jinx may also hold no ultimate answer to innocence or guilt. But that seems almost beside the point; such investigations often remain murky and unclear, and guilt is not so easy a thing to be judged. Instead, this upcoming six-part tantalizing murder mystery, from director Andrew Jarecki ( Capturing the Friedmans ), is a gripping true crime story that unfolds with all of the speed of a page-turner; it

BuzzFeed: "The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now"

The CBS legal drama, now in its sixth season, continually shakes up its narrative foundations and proves itself fearless in the process. Spoilers ahead, if you’re not up to date on the show. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, " The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now," in which I praise CBS' The Good Wife and, well, hail it as the best show currently on television. (Yes, you read that right.) There is no need to be delicate here: If you’re not watching The Good Wife, you are missing out on the best show on television. I won’t qualify that statement in the least — I’m not talking about the best show currently airing on broadcast television or outside of cable or on premium or however you want to sandbox this remarkable show. No, the legal drama is the best thing currently airing on any channel on television. That The Good Wife is this perfect in its sixth season is reason to truly celebrate. Few shows embrace complexity and risk-taking in t
