September BBC One/CBBC - Sarah Jane Adventures Series 2 Premieres!
Sunday 19 October:
BBC 7 (radio) 6PM and Midnight - 8th Doctor Radio Series 2 (premiere)
Christmas 2008:
BBC One - Doctor Who Christmas Special 2008
UK - Quick reminder - Series 2 of The Sarah Jane Adventures is coming
later this month. No specific day/time has been given yet, but we can
rull out anytime before Saturday 27 September. Monday 29 September
seems the best bet, since new episodes premiered on Mondays last fall
and almost all CBBC repeats were on that day of the week.
UK - You thought Doctor Who was over till Christmas, right? Well,
BBC7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 and Big Finish
http://www.doctorwho.co.uk are out to prove you wrong. Paul McGann
returns as The 8th Doctor and Sheridan Smith returns as Lucy Miller
in eight 50 minute full cast radio episodes - Sundays at 6PM and
Midnight UK Time starting 19 October. Paul McGann played the Doctor
in the 1996 TV Movie and in many Big Finish direct to cd audio
stories since 2001. He is the official 8th Doctor, the link between
Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor in Classic Who - late 1980s) and
Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor/New Series 1/2005).
This is actually the second set of Paul McGann audios made for BBC7.
An earlier set of 8 Paul McGann/Sheridan Smith episodes ran in late
2006/early 2007. That time the episodes aired on the radio before
getting released on CD. For these new episodes the CD releases came
first, which is why the radio run was delayed a bit.
No word on whether the previous BBC7/Big Finish Doctor Who series is
going to repeat soon.
ITALY - RAISAT Smash began airing The Sarah Jane Adventures
Wednesdays at 5PM on 3 September. 1 half hour per week. Episodes are
4:3 pan & scan format, so the sides of the image are removed.
Episodes are dubbed into Italian.
LATIN AMERICA - BBC Entertainment Latin America
http://latinamerica.bbcentertainment.com started in Mexico, Latin
America, and South America. The website is not working yet and I have
not found a good link for their schedule, so unknown if Doctor Who,
Torchwood, or Sarah Jane are airing there.
AUSTRALIA - The SFSA http://www.sfsa.org.au has gotten word that Nickelodeon Australia has bought the first 2 series of The Sarah Jane Adventures. They report that more details will be in their newsletter The Wall Of Lies 14. At publication time Nickelodeon's website did not have information.
SciFi Channel Netherlands http://www.scifi-tv.nl has obtained the first run rights to Series 3 of Doctor Who for the Netherlands. A 2 episode premiere with the 1965 Peter Cushing Dalek movie begin airing on the channel on 16 September, with many same week repeats. 1 episode per week thereafter. Series 2 premiered on Nederland 2.
CANADA - CBC's website http://www.cbc.ca/television finally has schedule information for September 19, verifying the premiere date for Doctor Who Series 4. Episodes are 9PM all time zones (9:30PM Newfoundland). Voyage of the Damned skipped. In the Central and Mountain Time Zones this broadcast overlaps with SPACE's http://www.spacecast.com airing of new Torchwood episodes. Neither station is doing a same week repeat. Satellite subscribers and at least some digital cable subscribers who want to watch both shows without taking the time to use a VCR/DVR/DVDR can catch CBC in another time zone to avoid the conflict.
CANADA - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca does not have Classic Doctor
Who or the Sarah Jane Adventures in the fall 2008 schedule. This is
the first time Doctor Who has been absent since the channel's launch
in 2001. Hopefully we can get word from BBC Kids whether the shows
will return in 2009. In particular - will BBC Kids air Sarah Jane
Adventures Series 2? For now, Doctor Who and Sarah Jane air through
at least the 14th of September ...
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week
column http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood . Of note - the radio
episode Lost Souls will air on BBC Radio 4 this Wednesday in the
Afternoon Play spot.

if you are in the Central or Mountain Time Zones, SPACE's broadcasts
of Torchwood are going to overlap with your local CBC's broadcast of
Who. Most satelite subscribers can get multiple feeds of the CBC and
presumably digital cable customers can too. If you want to see both
Doctor Who and Torchwood, use the various CBC feeds to your advantage.

is offered for free with commercials. See the website to determine if
your provider may offer this service. Based on the paucity of
information on the episodes airing, I guess they want you to get the

DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com
Current episodes:
86, where the Whocast decided to get smart with a look at the history
and audios of Big Finish. Trevor seemed to lose control of the
proceedings early to the agent of kaos (Tony), but it all had a happy
ending with a quick review of The Sisterhood Of The (Travelling)
Flame - pants, along with many other titles that were discussed. If I
got the names of the hosts mixed up - sorry about that, Chief.
Coming this weekend - epiosde 87. Alas, it is probably too late to
match DWO Whocast's 86 up with Radio Free Skaro's episode 99 in a
crossover of 1960s spy comedy levels.

call in number (718) 664-9807

West, Dave AC, Colin, and other Doctor Who fans liked the live Doctor
Who: Podshocks so much that they wanted to keep talking afterwards.
The resulting show covers Doctor Who, anything else sci-fi related,
and can go wildly off in all directions. Chats open 15 minutes before
the scheduled start time.
August 31 episode - The two hosts with convention reports were unable
to call in, turning the episode into a strategy session to figure out
a topic for the next week.
Sunday 2PM EDT (11AM PDT, 7PM BST) - the first episode of September
2008
Radio Free Skaro http://radiofreeskaro.wordpress.com
The 3 Canadians get together on Sundays for about an hour or two or
more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane
in a fairly amusing manner. Temporarily doing commentary on classic
Who stories courtesy of their Randomiser.
Current episode - #98 - The Curse Of Pela-Slog. With the aid of a 4th
Canadian, the team face their latest Randomiser choice - The Monster
Of Peladon. 1/2 the story is done this time, with the other 3
episodes saved for RFS episode 99. Every once in a while, they
actually discuss something on the screen.
Sunday or Monday - #99 - News and snark (recorded September 7)
followed by commentary on the last 3 episodes of The Monster Of
Peladon (recorded August 31). Alas, it is probably too late to match
Radio Free Skaro's 99 up with DWO Whocast's 86 in a crossover of
1960s spy comedy levels. Still, these are the more exciting episodes
of Monster Of Peladon and there's always the chance they will destroy
the randomiser for picking this gem for the final classic series
story.
Coming soon - #100 - where Radio Free Skaro ditch the Randomiser and
begin full length commentaries on Series 4 (2008) episodes.
A Podcast Of Impossible Things
http://podcastofimpossiblethings.blogspot.com
Cardiff-based Doctor Who fans get together to discuss the latest
Doctor Who and do a full length commentary on new Doctor Who episodes.
Current episode - 1.01 Rose (posted 6 August). To tide the time
till new Who, the Cardiff gang go back to 2005 to look at the
Eccleston episodes.
A Whovian's Quest http://www.whovianquest.com
Jonathan Rainer is podcasting his experiences as he watches Doctor
Who. In original broadcast order. From 1963. Without a gap. Can he
pull it off?
Current episode - 9. Jonathan looks at Planet Of Giants, the start of
Season 2.
The Big Finish Podcast http://www.bigfinish.com/podcast
Big Finish podcasts at least once a month to discuss their Doctor Who
and other projects (Sapphire and Steel, Stargate (!), Dark Shadows,
Bernice Summerfield, etc).
Current episode - Episode 1 of a new series of UNIT audios, starring
Nicholas Courtney as Alaistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (possibly
not as retired as assumed). The rest of the episodes have to be paid
for. Next date for regular podcasts unknown.
Cliff And Stephanie's Doctor Who Fan Podcast http://www.gspn.tv
Current episode - 13 - Review of Planet Of The Ood (free)
Next episode - 14 - Review of Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The
Daleks (paid subscribers only)
Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft review Doctor Who episodes on a
weekly basis. Start of new installments as they review Series 4,
skipping Voyage Of The Damned for now and focusing on the
Doctor/Donna episodes.
GSPN.tv is a network of podcasts on TV shows, daily life, religion,
and other issues that interest the 3 Ravenscrafts. Doctor Who Fan
Podcast becomes one of the pay programs in the network starting with
episode 12. The existing paying audience ranked Doctor Who dead last
in their interests (annoying the hosts who want to do the show but
are living off the revenue from their podcasts). If you subscribe to
their podcasts in order to hear the new Doctor Who episodes, be sure
to alert them that you are doing this. Half the episodes expected to
be free, half paid.
Tachyon TV http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk
Note to Tachyon guys - the brand new episode on iTunes turned out to
be 1.2, an episode made in Fall 2007. Surreal choice. Thought you'd
like to know - especially if you did not tell iTunes to post it.

the latest sci-fi news, including Doctor Who. Other episodes are
