The 4th Series of Doctor Who starts on BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone tonight at 6:20PM!!! Doctor Who Confidential airs on BBC Three at 7:10PM. Later tonight the first 3 episodes of the William Hartnell story "The Dead Planet" air at 8:30PM on BBC Four as part of a Verity Lambert tribute night. If you miss the episode, tune in tomorrow at 8PM on BBC Three or Friday at 8:30PM on BBC Three. The BBC iPlayer will also carry the episode online for a week for UK residents. |
|
Meanwhile, BBC 7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 is starting a new weekly Doctor Who feature. "Doctor Who - The Commentaries". Sundays starting 6 April at 12:30PM and 6:30PM British Time. This weekly half-hour show will give a recap of the Saturday Doctor Who episode. The first episode is hosted by David Tennant and Catherine Tate - not sure if they are the regular hosts or if it will rotate. Episodes are 30 minutes long. They form the second half of an hour block - the first half is the Paul McGann Big Finish Doctor Who episodes http://www.doctorwho.co.uk that started a repeat run last Sunday. BBC7 programming can be heard online live around the world. The UK will be on British Standard Time (for Daylight Savings) as of 30 March - adjust accordingly for your time zone. Episodes remain online for one week - excellent if you miscalcuate the time difference or were not able to tune in at broadcast time. |
|
"Doctor Who - The Commentaries" can also be downloaded as a free podcast from the BBC7 website or from iTunes. So you can save them until you actually see the Series 4 episodes without fear that they will drop off the system. |
|

Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com Doctor Who Classic Series. April The Tomb of the Cybermen eps 2 through 4 April Genesis of the Daleks pt 1 2 Episodes going up per month, it seems. Illusion TV is a service providing science fiction On Demand programming to cable providers (no deals with satellite companies yet). If your digital cable service has Illusion TV, all programming is offered for free with commercials. See the website to determine if your provider may offer this service. Based on the paucity of information on the episodes airing, I guess they want you to get the service before you know what you will be seeing. |
