A day late, and probably a loonie or two short... |
|
It seems that being away from my computer and thusly the internet over the Memorial Day weekend has put an adverse effect on the submission of this week's column in a timely fashion. Oh well, no matter for I've pretty much covered some of this week's announcements in an earlier supplemental edition of This Week in Doctor Who. For those that may have missed out on the supplemental from a couple of days ago, I will be going over the topics again farther down in this introduction. Unfortunately, no overnight ratings report this week for last week's episode, The Idiot's Lantern, as shown on BBC One due to time constraints. This information can be obtained from the Outpost Gallifrey news page over at http://www.gallifreyone.com |

  |
Doctor Who Series 1 (Season 27) with Christopher Eccleston has returned to Canadian broadcast TV this week. Episodes dubbed into French are shown on Ztélé -- http://www.ztele.com -- on Tuesdays at 8PM. There are same week repeats for scheduled for Saturday mornings at 8AM and late Sundays at 3AM. Also on the same channel, the 1996 TV movie with Paul McGann will make an appearance this Saturday at 10PM with a repeat broadcast the following day on Sunday at 2PM. I believe this is the first time the TV movie will be shown on a exclusively Canadian broadcaster. |
A relatively new US-based internet to TV DVR service called Akimbo which requires its own special hardware and media center setup. Currently, they offer some programming including Doctor Who, with various complete series in episodic format, via their service at this time. It's probably worth looking into, if you want to integate your TV/sound setup with an internet DVR service. More info can be found at http://www.akimbo.com and http://my.akimbo.com/browse_category.aspx?cid=7d989c2ac3d470b8 |
|
 |
Also of note for European viewers of series 1 of Doctor Who (Ki Vagy, Doki?), Cool TV -- http://www.cooltv.hu -- in Hungary is currently airing a repeat run on Fridays at 10:15PM CET. This week's episode is The Unquiet Dead. Dutch broadcaster, Nederland 3, is set to begin airing series 1 on Saturday 10 June at 7PM CET. Ned3 will probably air the series with subtitles or dubbed into Dutch. |
  |
Spain & Portugal Doctor Who fans will get to see the last 3 episodes of Series One - eventually. Digital Plus channel People + Arts finishes its repeat of the first 10 episodes on the weekend of 1 through 4 June. Starting 4 June, episodes will repeat at 1:30AM most nights beginning with Rose. Boom Town ("La alcaldesa de Cardiff" -> "The Mayoress of Cardiff") will air at 1:30AM late Sunday 18 June. Bad Wolf will air at 1:30AM late Monday 19 June. The Parting of the Ways ("La despedida" -> "The Goodbye") will air at 1:30AM late Tuesday 20 June. The series will begin repeating again on 21 June. I don't know why they skipped these last three episodesthe first two times they aired the series. |
  |
SciFi http://www.scifi.com in the US will have a mini-marathon of Doctor Who episodes on Friday June 16, the week after The Parting of the Ways airs on the channel. The marathon is from 8PM to 3AM Eastern, and consists of 4 episodes, 3 of them airing twice. 8PM & Midnight - Aliens of London 9PM & 1AM - World War Three 10PM & 2AM - Dalek 11PM only - The Long Game Marathons of other sci-fi shows air on June 23 and 30. Doctor Who will probably not repeat on Fridays due to the start of a new season of SciFi Friday programming in July - -- schedule information for July is now available albeit somewhat incomplete. Father's Day will be repeated on Sci Fi on Sunday June 25th @ 11PM EDT, but the next scheduled airing of Doctor Who is currently tentatvively indicated as being on July 16th @ 11PM with a subsequent Sunday airing the following week at the same time. No other broadcasts seem to be scheduled afterwards, but it seems to be subject to change so stay tuned. |
As of this writing, no broadcasters outside the UK have confirmed the dates when Series Two will begin airing. It will air around the world -- but patience is needed. |
|
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. |

That's mostly it from me; Benjamin will be back to editing the column next week. Any comments or corrections be sent via e-mail to thisweekindoctorwho-owner@yahoogroups.com , TWIDW on AOL IM , and thebfe on Yahoo Messenger |
