To be fair, youā€™ll get to see ā€œaā€ new Doctor. Heā€™s already replaced in the UK with his 10th incarnation. Still, itā€™s about time! ---

**Plot synopsis for _Dr. Who Goes Hawaiian_!!:** _The Doctor travels to 21st century Hawaiā€™i to discover the secret of the word ā€œAloha,ā€ which, meaning both hello and goodbye simultaneously, may be of inestimable value to confused time travellers. Aided by his assistants Gidget and Moondoggie, the Doctor finds that only slight cosmetic modifications are needed to make his TARDIS nicely inconspicuous_: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fatherdamienstatue2.jpg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fatherdamienstatue2.jpg) ---
