Torchwood This Week http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood has the schedule information on spinoff series Torchwood. |
|
BBC 7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 continues its series of brand new Doctor Who radio dramas this Sunday (New Years Eve) at 6PM and Midnight GMT. Fans around the world can listen live or tune in to each episode on the website for 7 days afterwards. Paul McGann returns as the 8th Doctor. The stories are produced with Big Finish, who will later release them on CD. Immediately after the episodes is the tie-in documentary series "Beyond The Vortex". |
|
  |
Israeli Doctor Who fans with Yes Stars get to see The Christmas Invasion this Monday night at 10:20PM. |
Canadian Doctor Who fans get the rarely seen 1981 pilot "K9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend" tonight in BBC Kids' regular 3 Doctor Who time periods (10PM, 2AM, and 5AM Eastern). Personally, I think the show held a lot of promise but was done in by some rather painful music during the opening credits. See it for yourself to judge. Another chance to see the Christopher Eccleston episodes again begins this Friday night at Midnight (12:30AM Newfoundland) on CBC TV. Next week episodes begin airing at 12:30AM (1AM Newfoundland). Series 2 continues Mondays at 8PM (8:30PM Newfoundland). |
