THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO October 12, 2005 - Vol 8, No 41 The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho |

A quiet week as we wait for November schedules to emerge for France 4 and Canal Jimmy in Italy. Schedules that should have the premiere of the new Doctor Who in those countries, bringing it to new fans. If your network has bought the new series and is not represented in this column, please let me know ASAP. |

KTEH 54 http://www.kteh.org in San Jose, CA has purchased the Mythmakers documentary Mythmakers: William Hartnell to air on November 23 at 7PM PST to celebrate Doctor Who's 42nd anniversary. Right now Doctor Who is not being offered to public TV stations, and only remains on the 2 stations (MPT http://www.mpt.org and IPTV http://www.iptv.org ) whose contracts have not expired. I have a bad feeling that BBC Worldwide Americas will not try to sell the original series again until they have a deal on the new series. Whenever that is. |
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. |
