Christmas time again. The 3rd annual Doctor Who Christmas episode premieres on BBC One this Tuesday at 6:50PM - Voyage of the Damned, 71 minutes long, with David Tennant, Kylie Minogue, Geoffrey Palmer, Bernard Crimmons, and Jimmy Vee. As with the last 2 Christmas specials, expect a trailer with scenes from the first half of the upcoming Series at the end of the story. Doctor Who - Back In Time has a new episode on BBC Radio Wales, with a new Doctor Who Confidential special on BBC Three. UK residents can get 2 hours of terrestrial Who programming on Thursday 27 December - an encore of the first Sarah Jane Adventures story (Invasion of the Bane) on CBBC at 4PM followed immediately by The Runaway Bride on BBC One at 5PM. Three complete Sarah Jane Adventure stories air on CBBC on New Years Eve from 9:30AM. Voyage of the Damned repeats twice on New Years Day - 2:15PM on BBC One (two terrestrial Who repeats in a week on BBC One - rare event) and 7PM on BBC Three. Also look for morning airings of Series 2 episodes on UKTV Gold between now and New Years. UKTV Drama will start airing Tom Baker episodes (minus the Dalek stories) weekdays at 12:20PM and 5PM starting 2 January. Complete stories are Saturdays at 11:15PM and Sundays at 8AM. |
BBC Prime (both versions) http://www.bbcprime.com airs the Christmas Invasion today (22 December). The rest of Series 2 is supposed to begin in February. BBC Prime Africa will be repeating Series 1 on Saturdays at 4PM CAT (2 episodes per Saturday) from 12 January - it is too soon to tell if BBC Prime Europe/Middle East will also do this. |
|
Also in the Christmas mood - Finland station YLE 2 airs The Christmas Invasion late Sunday 23 December at 12:20AM while BBC America airs its edited version on Christmas Eve at 8 and 11PM Eastern (5 and 8PM Pacific). |
|
  |
Prime TV http://www.primetv.co.nz in New Zealand has the most aggressive Christmas schedule this year. The Runaway Bride repeats complete on Christmas Eve in a 90 minute slot from 7:30 to 9PM. On Christmas Day, Prime does a commercial free marathon of all of Series 1 from 6:40AM to 4:30PM, with The Christmas Invasion from 4:30 to 5:30PM. |
  |
France 4 http://www.france4.tv brings the French version of Series 3 (including The Runaway Bride) across the English channel beginning Wednesday 26 December at 8:45PM. 2 episodes per week with repeats later in the week. There is no start date for France 4's English language version of Series 3 yet. |
  |
Germany finally gets the new Doctor Who. Pro 7 http://www.prosieben.de purchased Series 1 and 2 years ago, and has now found room in their schedule for the adventures of the Time Lord. Rose will air on Saturday 26 January at 5PM CET. The rest of Series 1 and 2 will air at 2 episodes per week from 2 February. Here's hoping for a big splash with German audiences leading to a shorter lag time before Series 3 and 4 make it over. |
 |
Endings - Greek station Skai TV http://www.skai.gr concludes Series 3 at 3PM EET today. Nederland 2 concludes Series 2 at 3:05PM CET today. Hungarian station RTL Klub concludes a repeat of Series 1 at 12:50PM. Denmark station DR 1 is moving Who to early afternoons to complete a Series 1 repeat run on Friday 28 December at 12:35PM. |
