Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.
Doctor Who broadcast Online - sort of. BBCi's Doctor Who site has put some of the recently discovered New Zealand censor clips on their website in RealPlayer format. The clips are from episodes 2,4,+5 from {s{The Web Of Fear]} and episode 5 of The Wheel In Space. To see the clips, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/news/02061701.shtml .
CANADA - Fans of Doctor Who on BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ , take note. Beginning Saturday, 6 July, the weekend omnibus Doctor Who broadcast times will change slightly. Stories will still air at 3:30PM Saturdays and Sundays, but the repeats will move to 10:30PM instead of 10PM. Weekday airing times remain unaffected. The weekday episodes are now finishing season 15 (new to BBC Kids) and are about to begin season 16 (also new to BBC Kids). Their current package runs through The Power of Kroll (5th story in the 6 story Key To Time series), and BBC Kids will go back to season 12 with Robot on Monday 29 July. The weekend stories are in season 14 right now, and will enter season 15 afterwards.
USA - Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ will reach more Iowans soon. http://www.100000watts.com/ is reporting that KQCT 36 Davenport, IA, currently a low-power repeater for Quad Cities Public TV, will become a full power repeater for IPTV. Exact date unknown - and it is not mentioned on IPTV's web site. KQCT's digital signal will be on channel 34 when it finally goes on air, for those with digital TVs.
South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they airing?
USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use the schedulebot to adjust for local time. Let's get Sci-Fi some record ratings for this third airing of the movie and really confuse them.
