For the first time, Australians will be able to watch Doctor Who a few hours after airing in the UK legally.

“Asylum of the Daleks” will premiere on ABC’s iview on Sunday September 2 at 5:10 am EST right after it’s aired in the UK. It will then air on television on Saturday September 8 at 7:30 pm EST.

In Australia we have previously had to wait weeks – sometimes months for T.V. series to come to network television, and many people just aren’t that patient. Illegal downloading is a big problem in Australia.

One can only hope that other networks will follow suit and make it easier to watch our favorite shows without having to do so illegally.
