for the Specials to present?

Definitely not. Lotsa issues here.

In the first pace, DW was never originally broadcast on SyFy, only on SciFi. (The network was called SciFi until March 2009, several months after their contract to be the original broadcaster of DW in the US had expired.)

In the second place, no story prior to A Christmas Carol ever premiered in the US and the UK on the same day. So you can't really use the construction "premiered on BBC One and SciFi" – ever — and you can only use the construction "premiered on BBC One and BBCA" in some (maybe most) cases post-2005.
