IllusionTV http://www.illusiontv.com , a service that provides sci-fi and fantasy shows to US cable companies' on-demand programming lineups, has announced that they will offer the classic Doctor Who series beginning in January 2008. It is unknown at this time how many stories will be offered. IllusionTV notes on their website that there is no cost to see their shows on demand beyond a customer's existing digital cable subscription. Shows do have commercials in order to pay the costs of the service. A pre-Doctor Who David Tennant can be seen in the 2005 Quatermass remake this month through the IllusionTV service. |
