ABC to fast-track Doctor Who Christmas special

For the first time the ABC will fast-track the annual Doctor Who Christmas Special.

It will air on Boxing Day in Australia, just hours after it screens in the UK.

Fans have long asked for Who to be fast-tracked by ABC to help minimise internet spoilers. The 2009 special aired in January, a month after its UK premiere.

If only all the free-to-air networks were this awesome in their programming decisions. I'm looking at you, Channel Nine. I don't know whether Aunty actually did this in response to fan requests, but if they did, they just went way up in my estimation. YAY!
