Welcome to this special edition of This Week In Doctor Who. This Week
In Doctor Who and Torchwood This Week will not be published on the
16th of February, as I will be at the Gallifrey One convention in Los
Angeles, CA http://www.gallifreyone.com/gallifrey.php that weekend.
Hopefully the hybrid versions of the columns coming out today will
help tide everybody over till regular service resumes on the 23rd.
And if you are going to Gallifrey, see you there.
Germany - ProSieben (Pro7) http://www.prosieben.de is cancelling Doctor Who after tonight's (9 February) episodes - 3 weeks (6 episodes) into the run. The ratings were lower than ProSieben had anticipated. Our sympathies to the German Doctor Who audience, who have been waiting for years for ProSieben to begin the Series 1 and 2 package they purchased (I think they bought back in 2005 - I'd have to check my archives). German language DVDs will come out this year as previously planned. ProSieben could still air the episodes in another time slot down the road.
South Africa - SABC2 http://www.sabc2.co.za/portal/site/sabc2 is
slipping The Sarah Jane Adventures on the air starting today (9
February). The half hour episodes air at 3:30PM CAT Saturdays. I do
not know if Invasion Of The Bane aired. This is the first time I have
heard of any Doctor Who show airing on South African TV (though BBC
Prime is available in South Africa and is rerunning Series 1 now).
Hong Kong - ATV World http://www.hkatv.com/world/05 is finally
starting Series 3 of Doctor Who - Thursdays at 10PM from 14 February,
taking Torchwood's time slot. At 10PM each week will be an
installment of The Infinite Quest, the serialized animated Doctor Who
story from 2007. This is The Infinite Quest's first airing outside
the UK. The regular episodes air at 10:03PM. The website makes it
unclear if they will start with The Runaway Bride or Smith And Jones.
USA - SciFi US http://www.scifi.com confirmed this week that they are buying both Series 4 of Doctor Who and Series 1 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Both shows will start in April. In the case of Doctor Who it means that US viewers will be just weeks behind the UK (exact dates unknown in both countries). It is not clear yet how The Sarah Jane Adventures (one 60 minute episode, ten 25 to 28 minute episodes) will be presented on SciFi.
UK - UKTV Drama is dropping the weekday (12:20PM and 5PM) airings of the Tom Baker episodes. Last one is 15 February (The Brain of Morbius pt 3). The episodes continue on Saturday night and Sunday morning uninterrupted. UKTV Gold is adding a weekday run of new Who (5PM and 6PM starting 18 February).
The US Public TV schedule information is in Section B. New
development this week involving The Christmas Invasion.
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week
column http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood .
