In addition, Blogtor Who reports that prior to the September 19 premiere of ‘The Magician’s Apprentice,’ BBC America will air a four-day marathon of nothing but Doctor Who! Here’s the best part, though — at 10:00 PM (EST) on September 18, they will air the Series 9 prequel minisode, ‘The Doctor’s Meditation’! Previously, the prequel had only been announced to show during the Doctor Who 3D: Dark Water/Death in Heaven theatrical event on September 15/16 (though we all knew it would likely be released on YouTube at some point).

At any rate, here’s a special trailer for the “Doctor Who Takeover”:
