BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone is airing a special 45 minute
compilation of Doctor Who Confidential (normally a BBC Three show)
on Saturday 18 June at 6:15PM BST as the lead-in to the Doctor Who
season finale.

BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree is having some special
Doctor Who broadcast times over these last 2 weeks of the season.
Saturday 11 June - 7:45PM Doctor Who Confidential ep 12 - as normal
Saturday 11 June - 10:55PM Doctor Who Bad Wolf - early start time
Saturday 11 June - 11:40PM Doctor Who Confidential ep 12 - early
start time
Sunday 12 June - 7PM Doctor Who Bad Wolf - as normal
Sunday 12 June - 7:45PM Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down ep 12 - as
normal
Friday 17 June - 9PM Doctor Who Bad Wolf - special broadcast
Friday 17 June - 9:45PM Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down ep 12 -
special broadcast
Saturday 18 June - 8PM Doctor Who Confidential ep 13 - special time,
may be only 15 minutes
Saturday 18 June - 10:50PM Doctor Who The Parting of the Ways -

Sunday 19 June - 7PM Doctor Who The Parting of the Ways - as normal
Sunday 19 June - 7:45PM Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down ep 13 - as

BBC Three schedules are subject to frequent change. The 8PM start
for the first showing of Confidential on 18 June may be a red
herring. Until Tuesday a Live Aid retrospective was scheduled for
BBC Three from 7 to 8PM, keeping Confidential from starting at
7:45PM. The Live Aid special has disappeared and been replaced by
the immortal words "To Be Announced".

Just think. The UK is only 10 days from the end of the first full
Doctor Who "series" on TV since 1989. 20 days left in Canada.

KBS 2 South Korea http://www.kbs.co.kr is definitely airing 2 Doctor Who episodes per week in order Sundays at 11:15PM. No repeats. While the episodes are dubbed into Korean, you can still hear them in English if you switch to the Secondary Audio Program (SAP) channel. KBS has also added a Doctor Who homepage http://www.kbs.co.kr/2tv/enter/doctorwho/index.html in Korean to help get viewers up to speed on this show that has never aired there before. Includes a message board. Very nicely done.

CBC TV http://www.cbc.ca/television has updated their July schedule.
While repeats will continue Sundays at 7PM all Summer, June 28 will
be the final Tuesday broadcast (Canadian premiere of The Parting Of
The Ways - season finale). Tuesdays at 8PM will return to
documentaries through the Summer.

No new networks have purchased the series in the past week.
