The 3rd Series premiere on BBC One (not counting The Runaway Bride at Christmas) will be on the 31st of March, it seems. Just a month away. Here's hoping for a great set of episodes that does fantastic in the UK and airs across the world - quickly. |
 |
Hopefully US Doctor Who fans are paying attention, as we're entering a very busy period. BBC America has its final repeats of Series One (the Christopher Eccleston episodes) for now (including a marathon on Saturday) - Doctor Who is being rested and replaced by Robin Hood. Meanwhile, as of March the public TV stations that have bought Doctor Who Series One can begin to air them - the first unedited free TV broadcasts of new Who in the US. Here is the current list of 40 stations arranged by the premiere dates for the Doctor. |

For now, public TV stations can only buy Series One. The better it does on the stations that bought it, the more likely fans will get to see more Who on public TV stations. |

To readers outside the US - the broadcast public TV stations have much more freedom in their schedules than the major broadcast network affiliates ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW), and their lineups vary much more from place to place. Some cities have multiple public TV stations due to overlaps and different educational organizations setting up stations in the same area. Doctor Who is not part of the PBS schedule, it is an optional extra purchase from a syndicator, so stations are choosing to run it rather than just having a network send it to them. This is how most Americans saw Doctor Who from the 1970s to 1990s (except for the TV Movie on FOX). Almost anyone can see at least one public TV station, and while they don't have the audience of ABC, CBS, NBC, or FOX, they can reach many people that cable networks like SciFi or BBC America will not get. This Week In Doctor Who began with the idea that it would be nice to know which public TV stations are airing Doctor Who when and which episodes are running. I'm delighted that the Doctor is back on at least some of these stations and hope the public TV run is a big success. If that's not enough to support the public TV showing of Doctor Who - SciFi cuts most of the episodes to meet the timeslot. BBC America does a bad edit of the last few seconds of each episode to erase any sign of the Next Time trailer, then remakes the closing credits their own way. Both put lots of annoying preview pictures and information in the bottom left section of the screen at times when you'd rather be seeing the story. They put Doctor Who ads on screen during other shows when you'd rather be watching those shows. Full credit to SciFi and BBC America for airing Doctor Who, and they treat it as well as their most popular shows. But like most TV networks these days, they treat all their shows pretty poorly. The public TV stations will be airing the show uncut (some of them with Doctor Who Confidential airing afterwards). When not in pledge season, episodes will be airing straight through with no commercial interruptions. While some public TV stations are beginning the disgusting practice of putting promos for other shows on screen during a program, they are still much more restrained than SciFi and BBC America. Many of the public TV stations are not doing this and should get thanked for avoiding the practice. |
The public TV run of the show will be the nicest the new Doctor Who will look in the US short of buying the DVDs. If one of your stations is airing the show, this is the time to get friends and family who haven't tried the new series yet to tune in. |
