Well, the trip of a lifetime is about to finish its first leg in the
UK. The first full season of Doctor Who since 1989 concludes
Saturday on BBC One at 7PM with The Parting of the Ways,
right
after The Ultimate Guide, a documentary at 6:15PM. At
7:45PM BBC
Three airs the final installment of Doctor Who Confidential. The
BBC's Doctor Who website http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho is
advising
viewers to avoid the internet until Saturday to escape the spoilers
and shocks that are sure to be leaked before the episode actually
airs. See the quick broadcast schedule above or the detailed version
below to catch all the airings of Doctor Who on BBC Three, including
a special repeat of Bad Wolf before the Saturday airings.

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone and BBC Three
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree will definitely not air Doctor Who on
25 June. BBC One will air Only Fools And Horses from 6:10 to 7:35PM.
BBC Three will air Glastonbury 2005 coverage from 7PM to 2AM on
Saturday 25 June and Sunday 26 June.

CBC Canada's http://www.cbc.ca/television begins its repeat run
of
Doctor Who this weekend (Sunday 19 June 7PM), even though the first
run on Tuesdays at 8PM runs through 28 June. If you've missed
some
episodes, have friends you want to introduce to the show, or just
want to see it again, here's your chance in Canada. Episode 5 of
Planet Of The Doctor http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor is now
online.

2 episodes of Doctor Who will air at the 2005 TV & Film Festival
Cologne
http://www.cologne-conference.de/en/festival/TopTenFiction.php in
Germany this summer. I wouldn't count this as a broadcaster, but
it's a chance for a new audience to see some of the series. The
photo on the website is from The End Of The World (episode 2). While
the episodes are not listed, Stephen Moffat's name is, indicating
that they are probably The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances
(episodes 9 and 10), which he wrote. Friday 1 July at 10:30PM CET at
the Cinedom.

Various publications in New Zealand are reporting that Prime TV http://www.primetv.co.nz will premiere Doctor Who in July. The New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com tends to find out this information first. And it's a neat website to visit anyway.

Still keeping an eye on the BBC Press Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net for further Doctor Who sales. Nothing in the
past week.
