The BBC is publicizing their fall 2006 plans for their various
channels. Torchwood, Doctor Who's spin-off, is being noted as the
biggest show in BBC Three's fall schedule. The press release (with
some spoilers, and no actual premiere date in case you were curious)
is at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/07_july/2
4/bbcthree.shtml .
Malaysian Doctor Who fans - the Astro service
http://www.astro.com.my/v5 is expected to present Series 2 of Doctor
Who in its entirety on the Box Office Events channel from 3 to 9
August. The exact schedule is not on their website yet.
UK and US Doctor Who fans are going to have a hard time finding any
episodes airing on TV for a little while.
No episodes are airing on TV in the UK this week on any channel at all (BBC7 will present episode 3 of the 2003 version of Shada on the radio Sunday). The 1996 TV Movie with Paul McGann will air late Saturday 5 August on UKTV Gold, and that's all the Doctor Who for the next few weeks.
SciFi US http://www.scifi.com has no Doctor Who repeats scheduled through the end of August, so unless you live in the broadcast areas of Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org , Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org , or KBTC Tacoma, WA http://www.kbtc.org , Doctor Who's gone for at least a month.
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.
