THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO July 26, 2006 - Vol 9, No 30 The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood |

|
Series 2 continues in New Zealand and Australia with "School Reunion" airing this week. |
|
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. |
