DOCTOR WHO
BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET
Last week’s midseason premiere episode was so smart, so effortlessly clever, that it bodes very well for this series as it gears up for its astounding golden anniversary. Not 50 episodes, mind you – but 50 years since the November 1963 premiere of Doctor Who. Tonight’s episode, the first official adventure with Jenna-Louise Coleman as the Doctor’s new companion, is titled “The Rings of Akhaten,” and concerns a little girl with a problem, with the good Doctor to the rescue.
