We love that BBC America knows its audience well enough to promote the new Nerdist special by posting a video about Doctor Who. As you may recall, Chris Hardwick, aka The Nerdist, hosted the BBC America Doctor Who “Best of” specials (Doctor Who: Best of the Monsters, etc.) last August.
The next will be a Doctor Who: Best of the Christmas Specials to air on Christmas Eve, followed by a year-end special. To promote the specials, BBC America asked him and his pals about their favorite Doctor Who moments from season six. Check out the video and press release below for all the details on the special!

“Wow, what’s the deal with The Silents and these guys? What about “The Doctor’s Wife”? “A Good Man Goes to War”? Stay here with SciFi Mafia and we’ll show you someone with excellent credentials who has something to say about that.”
