Wednesday 28 September:
NRK 2 Norway - 8:05PM - Doktor Who: Rose (premiere)

NRK http://www.nrk.no in Norway presents widescreen programmes in their full widescreen ratios in analog and digital (letterbox on analog). Doctor Who is likely to be subtitled in Norwegian rather than dubbed when it airs on NRK 2. Just 7 days till Doktor Who premieres in Norway.

Another new to radio episode of Doctor Who on BBC7
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 this Saturday night at 6:30PM & 12:30AM
BST. Conclusion of the 2nd 8th Doctor audio in the Big Finish line
(Sword Of Orion).

BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree returns Doctor Who to 7PM
this Sunday for the final Sunday repeat (Friday repeats are behind
and continue for the next few weeks). It appears at this point that
BBC Three is no longer airing any complete versions of Doctor Who
Confidential, with only Cut Down versions scheduled for the next 2
weeks.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

Season 7, Episodes 1 through 4. Doctor: Jon Pertwee.
First weekday showing of the Jon Pertwee era. BBC Kids is skipping stories that are completely or partially in black & white.

With a faulty memory and no ability to fly the TARDIS, the Doctor is stuck on Earth. U*N*I*T needs his help to stop a plastic attack on the population of Britain. The first colour Doctor Who story, tense, funny, and epic.
