While we wait these last few hours for the US premier of the new Christmas Special, it has come and gone in the UK, and now we have the first trailer for next season.
BBC America have launched a competition to find the best home-made TARDIS.
This competition is only open to residents of the continental United States. Judging will be based on documentation of:
First place winner will be awarded the grand prize of a Doctor Who screening event at a venue in their area in September 2011 (50 guests max.), plus one copy of every episode of Doctor Who currently available on DVD in the US.

According to a report by CNN, there may be plans to broadcast next year's Doctor Who season in America on the same day as the UK.
In the past, episodes of the new series have been weeks to years behind (Season One was not broadcast in the US until a year after it's UK premier). Because of this, fans outside the UK have often downloaded episodes instead of having to wait. According to BBC America's VP of Programming, Richard de Croce:
"(It) means fans love the shows so much they can't wait to see them.
And that's the world we live in, in terms of technology, quite honestly. So let's air these shows as quickly as we can post the UK's transmission.
Plans are in the works for season six of "Doctor Who" to be broadcast the same day in the United States as well."
Let's all hope this turns out to be true.
The BBC Press Office recently released a more detailed description of the upcoming Christmas special:
"It's the deepest part of winter, the exact midpoint, Christmas Eve – halfway out of the dark. Amy and Rory are trapped on a stricken space liner that's plummeting through banks of thick icy fog to the surface of the planet below.
Only one man has the power to save them; only one man is in possession of a machine that can clear the fog and let them land safely.
That man is Kazran Sardick, a rich but lonely old miser who rules Sardicktown with a sky-mast of iron.
The Doctor's only chance of rescuing the ship's four thousand passengers is to save Kazran's soul and show him that life is worth living. For this he needs to go back, way back, to when Kazran was a boy with a life full of promise.
But can the Doctor put a song in Kazran's heart and love in his life, in time for Christmas? Can he bring him out of the dark?"
