Sunday 19 August:
Prime New Zealand 7:30PM - The Runaway Bride

Thursday 23 August:
TV3 Ireland Late 1:30AM - New Earth
Friday 24 August:
SciFi US 8PM + 1AM EDT - Human Nature, pt 1 of 2
Saturday 1 September:
BBC Prime 7PM CET - Rose
Saturday 15 September:
Ned 2 7:30PM - New Earth (new channel)
Fall 2007:
BBC One?/CBBC - The Sarah Jane Adventures - Series 1
Christmas 2007:
BBC One - Voyage Of The Damned (60 minutes)

New Zealand fans - Prime http://www.primetv.co.nz starts Series 3
this Sunday the 19th at 7:30PM with The Runaway Bride in a 90 minute
timeslot. This is a change from the first 2 series which aired on
Thursdays at 7:30PM.

Japanese Who fans - NHK 3 starts Doctor Who this Tuesday at 7PM with Rose. The first 2 series already aired on BS-2, but this is the first over the air broadcast of the episodes. If anyone you know hasn't seen the episodes, their excuses have run out.

Party like it's 1965 on 25 August as BBC Two
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo airs "Dr. Who And The Daleks", the
theatrical remake of the first Dalek story. With Peter Cushing as Dr.
Who, Roberta Tovey as Susan, and the Daleks as themselves. It airs
from 3:20 to 4:40PM British Standard Time.

BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com is now running ads confirming that
they have Doctor Who. They have also updated the FAQ on their
website. Rose starts the series on Saturday 1 September at 7PM
Central European Time. BBC Prime covers Europe (except the British
Isles), Africa, and parts of Asia. A seperate BBC Prime service for
the rest of Asia was discontinued a while back and rolled into BBC
Entertainment http://www.bbcentertainment.com , which is currently
airing Series 2 of Doctor Who in its territories.

BBC America's http://www.bbcamerica.com plans for Doctor Who Series 2 are becoming clearer. Episodes premiere at 7PM Eastern/4PM Pacific on Saturdays starting 8 September. Episodes repeat at 2AM Eastern/11PM Pacific. They repeat on Sunday and once the following Saturday, with the exact times moving week to week based on other programming events. Since the episodes already aired on SciFi, BBC America is leaving them out of prime time (where Series 1 ran) in favor of spinoff Torchwood, which will be having its US premiere on BBC America. BBC America still gives shows 46 minutes an hour versus 44 on SciFi, so nearly all the regular episodes will be complete (or at least more complete than SciFi's broadcasts of the same episodes). However, The Christmas Invasion will be heavily edited, as it will get a regular 1 hour timeslot, while SciFi aired it uncut in a 90 minute timeslot (with lots of ads).

For press releases on Doctor Who, keep an eye on the BBC Press Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
