BBC America synopsis
With all of the universe to explore, what keeps bringing the Doctor back to America? We uncover the Doctor’s special relationship with the U.S., from Daleks on the streets of New York to robot gunslingers in the Wild West. The special includes behind-the-scenes reports from the Doctor’s death in Monument Valley, Utah and the Weeping Angels’ invasion of Manhattan and looks back at the references to the 50 States in ‘Doctor Who.’
‘Doctor Who in the U.S.’ features contributions from the current Doctor Matt Smith, the Tenth Doctor David Tennant, as well as interviews with John Barrowman (Captain Jack), Arthur Darvill (Rory), Noel Clarke (Mickey) and Peter Purves who played Steven, a companion of the very First Doctor.
