We have a veritable feast for the eyes today, as new images and videos have been released for upcoming British TV specials and series airing soon on BBC America.

Doctor Who

First up, brand-new pics from An Adventure in Space & Time, the BBC drama about the beginnings of Doctor Who starring David Bradley (Harry Potter, Broadchurch) as the First Doctor, William Hartnell. (Honestly, Bradley’s resemblance to Hartnell is downright uncanny.)

Based on the characters in the novel The Three Musketeers by the elder (père) Alexandre Dumas, the series stars Luke Pasqualino (Skins) as D’Artagnan, Tom Burke (The Hour) as Athos, Santiago Cabrera (Merlin) as Aramis, and Howard Charles (&Me) as Porthos — the all-for-one, one-for-all soldiers whose duty is to protect the king.

The ten-episode The Musketeers will premiere on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US in 2014.
