This Week In Doctor Who B
PBS, Sarah Jane, K-9
April 24, 2010
by Benjamin F. Elliott

Note - KUHT Houston has scheduled some of the 2008-2009 Doctor Who specials for May. They are the first station to do so to date and this is the first time it was known that the episodes are already available to PBS stations. In the case of The Waters of Mars (Saturday 22 May on KUHT), it will be airing just 6 months and a week after the world premiere in the UK (just 5 months after the US premiere on BBC America). This is the fastest Doctor Who episodes have reached PBS since The Five Doctors in 1983 (2 days *before* BBC One in the UK on some PBS stations for that one).

Note 2 - As of this edition, Sarah Jane and K-9 listings will be in this section of the column, due to the discontinuation of the podcast listings.
