THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO April 19, 2006 - Vol 9, No 16 The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood |
|
Thursday 20 April: BBC One 5PM BST "Totally Doctor Who" ep 2 People + Arts (Spain/Portugal) 10:30PM CET - Aliens Of London (repeat) Friday 21 April: BBC Three 9PM BST - New Earth (repeat) SciFi US 9PM EDT/PDT - The Long Game Saturday 22 April: CBBC 6:30PM BST "Totally Doctor Who" ep 2 BBC One 7:15PM BST - Tooth And Claw BBC Three 8PM & 3:25AM BST - Fear Factor Sunday 23 April: BBC Three 7:15PM BST - Tooth And Claw (repeat) ATV World (Hong Kong) 11:35PM - The Doctor Dances Monday 24 April: CBBC 1PM BST "Totally Doctor Who" ep 2 |
|
New Earth averaged 8 million viewers in the overnight ratings on BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone on 15 March, the best overnight rating for any show on British TV that day by at least 1 million viewers. Based on last year, the final numbers for the episode will appear a few hours after next week's edition of TWIDW goes out. If you missed the premiere on BBC One or the Sunday BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree repeat, the episode airs one more time - Friday at 9PM BST on BBC Three. Sundays at 7:15PM (with commentary track available) and Fridays at 9PM will be the regular repeat times for new episodes. |
|
As of this writing, the 2nd series premiere of Doctor Who Confidential has not gone online. It would be a pity if the new series of the making of show does not go online, as the episodes will not air outside the UK. |
|
Kids tie-in program "Totally Doctor Who" settles into its regular time periods this week - Thursdays 5PM on BBC One, Saturdays 6:30PM and Mondays 1PM on CBBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc . Military servicemen serving overseas can see Totally Doctor Who Saturday mornings on BFBS 1 at 8:30AM CET as of this weekend. |
|
Tooth and Claw premieres this Saturday 22 April on BBC One with a scheduled start time of 7:15PM, following an FA Football match between Liverpool and Chelsea. If and only if the game runs into extra time, there is a chance that there could be a conflict with the start time of Doctor Who. The print edition of the Radio Times http://www.radiotimes.com has an advisory that programmes may run late if football goes to extra time/penalties. If the start of Tooth And Claw is delayed for any reason, it is assumed that the corresponding Doctor Who Confidential episode on BBC Three (Fear Factor) will be delayed to avoid an overlap. It is currently scheduled to air at 8PM. |
|
Starting this weekend, Doctor Who Confidential is only airing on Saturday nights. This week it will have a 3:25AM late Saturday repeat. Next week no repeat is currently scheduled. |
|
Next week (29 April) BBC One's start time for Doctor Who shifts back to 7PM BST for the 3rd episode of the series - School Reunion. BBC Three's airing of Doctor Who Confidential moves to 7:45PM Saturday as of that night. |
|
No premiere dates for Series 2 in other countries are known yet. ABC Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv apparently has the rights to air the episodes beginning in June. Prime TV New Zealand http://www.primetv.co.nz is waiting till midyear (it premiered in July last year). Both of those broadcasters are expected to begin the series with The Christmas Invasion, which has only aired in the UK and Canada to date. Series 2 will probably premiere at a later date in all other countries, including Canada. |
|
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. |
