Column's a tad late and short this week. Couldn't be helped. Hopefully things will be back on schedule next week (the 11th).
Top story of the week - BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com/ has taken Doctor Who off its schedule. BBC Prime is a cable/satellite channel bringing BBC Programming to the continents of Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. They have aired Doctor Who since 1995, and have shown just about all the stories from Pertwee to McCoy (the TV Movie with McGann aired a couple of years ago). They finished the McCoy run about 2 weeks ago, and used a 4 part version of The Five Doctors to finish August. BBC Prime has made their semi-annual reshuffling of their program schedule, and Doctor Who appears to have been left out of the shuffle.
UK - UK Gold is now airing extra Doctor Who broadcasts late Friday and Saturday nights, beginning 6 September. The Friday night story is the same one that they will air on Saturday morning, and the Saturday night story is the same one that they will air Sunday morning. So, if you don't want to wake up early to watch Doctor Who, all you have to do is stay up very late.
Canada - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ is airing new (to them) Doctor Who episodes again. See the listings for specific episodes and times.
USA - NHPTV New Hampshire http://www.nhptv.org/ is now airing Doctor Who at 11:30PM on Thursdays instead of Midnight.
While I try to keep the column up to day, I do sometimes miss late changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.
