THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - Hong Kong Premiere Week February 15, 2006 - Vol 9, No 7 The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood |

Doctor Who premieres this Sunday night (the 19th) at 11:35PM in Hong Kong on English language station ATV World, starting with Rose. Here's wishing it a long and successful run in that territory. Episodes are airing one time with either no or limited commercials - the time slot is 11:35PM to 12:25AM. No repeats expected. |

USA - Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org viewers should remember that the Doctor Who pledge night is March 11, the week before the new series premieres on SciFi. When you pledge, you'll get to vote on which Doctor you want to see next on IPTV (Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Tom Baker, Davison, Colin Baker, McCoy). As of this writing it is expected that the winning Doctor will begin airing on IPTV right away, displacing Sylvester McCoy after just 2 of his stories air (presumably McCoy will be allowed to finish his current run if he wins the vote). |
The Gallifrey One Doctor Who convention http://www.gallifreyone.com is this weekend (February 17 through 19) in Los Angeles, CA. Much of the readership of this column will be there, and I hope it's a great time. Hope to make it one of these years when time and money are willing. It is produced by Shaun Lyon of the Outpost Gallifrey website (same link), which hosts this column online. |

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. |
