The 24 June premiere of Fear Her on BBC One had overnight ratings of 7.66 million viewers, 43.2% of the audience watching TV at the time. The final ratings for Love & Monsters on 17 June were 6.66 million viewers. The final ratings for Fear Her on 24 June were 7.14 million viewers. |
|
This weekend sees the 2nd Series begin in Australia and New Zealand with The Christmas Invasion and end in the UK with the world premiere of Doomsday. |
|
Doctor Who returns to the radio! BBC 7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 begins another repeat run of Doctor Who radio drama Sundays at 6PM and Midnight starting 16 July with encore material from Big Finish http://www.doctorwho.co.uk . The Radio Times website claims that part 1 of 6 of "Shada (2003)" will air. On the BBC 7 message board, they reported last week that Storm Warning begins on 16 July, with Sword Of Orion beginning on 13 August. |
|
BBC 7 licensed and aired 6 Big Finish Doctor Who stories with Paul McGann last year - Storm Warning, Sword Of Orion, The Stones Of Venice, Invaders From Mars, The Chimes Of Midnight, and Shada (2003). It is believed that they still have the rights to repeat all 6 of those stories but that they are unlikely to buy more stories anytime soon due to the station's budget. |
|
Members of the British military who have been watching Doctor Who on British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) will have to wait an extra 7 days for the end of Series 2. BFBS is airing World Cup and Wimbledon coverage on Sunday 9 July, pre-empting Doctor Who. Repeats are also being pre-empted. Doomsday will presumably premiere for military forces on Sunday 16 July. The other episodes of Series 2 premiered for UK forces 1 day after their UK premieres. |
|
  |
Japanese satellite station BS-2 has picked up Doctor Who to air starting in August. Take a look at the Japanese Doctor Who logo at http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2006/06/30/33368.shtml |
Romanian station TVR has picked up Doctor Who in a collection of purchases. |
|
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. |
