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 presents the 5th episode of its series of brand new Doctor Who radio dramas this Sunday 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". |
|
BBC Two Wales Digital ran an episode of their "On Show" programme on 26 December called "Designs On Doctor Who". It was hosted by Tom Baker. While it was listed in this column, many people didn't realize it was airing until it was too late. Get the word out - it is being repeated next Wednesday 31 January at 10PM GMT. It is only airing on BBC Two Wales Digital, so if you live outside that particular regional transmitter's broadcast area then you will need to have Sky Digital or be a good friend of someone with Sky Digital, as Sky is providing all of the BBC regional variants to their customers. It will not be airing on the regular BBC Two, or even BBC Two Wales - only BBC Two Wales Digital. |
|
Alert for Canadian viewers. CBC's online schedule indicates that New Earth will repeat on 29 January instead of the previously planned premiere of Fear Her. Fear Her is now listed for February 5, with Army Of Ghosts on February 12 and Doomsday on February 19. Doctor Who is listed with no episode description for February 26. The late Friday repeats of Series 1 continue unaffected. |
|
Belgian broadcaster een quietly returned Doctor Who to their schedule last weekend. Series 1 is repeating Saturdays at 4:15PM CET. |
