Lucky bastard! When will we see new Dr. Who episodes here in the US? I thought Tennant was taking a 1 year break?

BBCAmerica showed the 2008 XMas special a week ago, and the 2009 Easter special is going to air in late July. I don't know when SciFi (or, SyFy...ugh
) is airing those specials.
Tennant's taking a "break" in the sense that he's not filming a full season, instead they're doing a series of specials this year. the next one will air in the UK on Halloween, and the very end of 2009 will have two more specials. Then there'll be a proper 5th season, but Tennant will be leaving (in the last of the specials, I think), so that they'll kick off with a new Doctor and new Companion. The actor they've cast looks easily as young as that girl, but hopefully with the new producer we'll be spared the lovey-dovey antics that kept getting implied with Ten and Rose.
On the topic of celebs that I'd like to see buffed-up, I think Katee Sackhoff (recently Starbuck of Battlestar Galactica) would look pretty darn good with some bulging muscles.
