CANADA - The Runaway Bride *WILL* air on the CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television late Monday June 18 at Midnight (12:30AM Newfoundland). This is a schedule change. As to why a Doctor Who episode is premiering at Midnight ... |
|
First, the CBC scheduled Series 3 to start on 18 June at 8PM with Smith And Jones. The Doctor Who Information Network http://www.dwin.org and other fans alerted the CBC that they never aired The Runaway Bride, the 2006 Christmas episode that occurs between Series 2 and 3. The DWIN was notified by the CBC earlier this week that, if the Stanley Cup Championship ended in less than 7 games, The Runaway Bride would air on 11 June at 8PM. The Stanley Cup ended at 5 games on Wednesday night. On Thursday the CBC website updated to show a Mel Gibson movie airing on 11 June, which many of us assumed would be a mistake which would be corrected. Nope - the Mel Gibson movie is airing, and on Friday the CBC website updated - Smith And Jones at 8PM, Runaway Bride at Midnight. Thanks to the Canadian fans for keeping an eye on the situation - the episode may be out of order and running in late night, but it IS airing, and that's the main thing. |
|
Meanwhile, on Monday 2 July, a sports broadcast will pre-empt Doctor Who on the CBC. Gridlock airs on 9 July, with the Doctor airing the rest of the month. |
|
UK - BBC Radio Wales http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/radiowales is running 3 additional episodes of its "Doctor Who - Back In Time" series. Saturdays at 1:04PM, Sundays at 4:32PM BST starting today - 9 June. Details in the main section of the column. |
|
Tonight's 45 minute Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three at 8PM is directed by David Tennant, the current Doctor. Don't Blink or you'll miss it - the repeats are only 15 minutes long. |
|
UK viewers with Digiguide subscriptions http://www.digiguide.com have spotted a Doctor Who weekend on 14 and 15 July - on UKTV Drama. A mix of classic and new Doctor Who episodes will air across the 2 days. This will be the first time Doctor Who has aired on UKTV Drama. It is unknown yet if this means that Doctor Who will be joining UKTV Drama on a regular basis. |
|
 |
AUSTRALIA - UKTV is in the middle of its 2 day marathon of Series 1 and 2, including the Cut Down episodes of Doctor Who Confidential. A chance to catch up before ABC begins Series 3 with The Runaway Bride on the 28th. No information on whether UKTV will put Doctor Who repeats back on their schedule. BTW, UKTV New Zealand does not, to anyone's knowledge, have rights to Doctor Who. Just noting that because earlier this week, if you did a search for Doctor Who on the New Zealand website, you got the UKTV Australia information. When you check the actual schedule - no Doctor. :/ |
For press releases on Doctor Who, keep an eye on the BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media http://www.c21media.net . |
