UK - The Poison Sky, part 2 of the current Doctor Who story, premieres at 6:20PM BST tonight on BBC One (Saturday), with the 45 minute Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three at 7:05PM. If you miss it, do not panic. BBC Three airs The Poison Sky Sunday at 8PM and Friday at 9PM BST. UK residents can also use their computers, Nintendo Wiis connected to the internet, or Virgin Media Cable to access the BBC iPlayer and see the episode anytime in the next week. So, how do they get out of last week's cliffhanger? |
|
Next week, BBC One airs Doctor Who Saturday the 10th at 6:45PM BST, with the 45 minute Confidential on BBC Three at 7:30PM. The repeats are at the same times - BBC Three Sunday the 11th at 8PM and Friday the 16th at 9PM. The Sunday repeat is followed by a 45 minute repeat of Confidential instead of the usual 15 minute version. The 15 minute version will air after the Friday repeat. |
|
USA - SciFi USA http://www.scifi.com has put preliminary June schedule information on their website. Sarah Jane Adventures will not air in June - the last episode premieres on May 30, with Canadian/South African triple universe saga Charlie Jade airing at 8PM from June 6, making its US premiere. Doctor Who Series 4 airs all 4 weeks with new episodes at 9PM and 11PM Eastern, paired with Battlestar Galactica (new) on June 6 and 13 and Stargate SG-1 (repeats) on June 20 and 27. Series 3 continues at 5AM EDT Fridays. One Series 2 marathon on Thursday June 19 - 8 episodes from 8AM EDT. |
|
The SciFi broadcasts should improve for the next few weeks. Partners In Crime and The Fires Of Pompeii were over 48 minutes long each, and SciFi edits to about 44 minutes, so important and interesting bits were cut from the episodes to fit SciFi's time slot (including the final scene in Fires Of Pompeii). Planet Of The Ood (SciFi airing on May 9) is under 44 minutes, The Sontaran Stratagem (May 16) is about 44 1/2 minutes, and it looks like the next few episodes beyond will be about 45 minutes long. So - the next few episodes should be either unedited or experience much less editing. Expect a better viewing experience heading forward. |
|
Hungary - Series 2 repeats slipped back on the air on RTL Klub Saturdays at 12:50PM. |
|
Africa/Middle East - The Showtime Arabia satellite service will begin airing Series 3 on Friday May 30 (multiple airings each week) on Showseries 1 and Showseries Extra. They are starting with Smith And Jones. |
|
Australia - UKTV is doing a weekday run of Doctor Who Confidential Series 1 (but not Doctor Who) in the 6:45AM time slot. |
|
USA - BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com starts a weekday repeat run of new Who at 6PM and 3AM EDT from May 12. BBC America has the right to air the first 3 series (41 episodes). |

No May information yet. Certainly not on their website. Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com Doctor Who Classic Series. April The Tomb of the Cybermen ep 2 of 4 April Genesis of the Daleks pt 1 of 6 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. |

Doctor Who: Podshock http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/portal Weekly chat show with US and UK Doctor Who fans done in podcast format. Newest episode on the enhanced feed - episode 109, an in depth interview with John Levene, recorded in late March 2008. A previously recorded episode covering the David Tennant episodes and UK based discussions on Partners in Crime, "The Fires Of Pompeii", Planet of the Ood, and "The Sontaran Strategem" are currently on the live feed but still to come to the official cleaned up podcasts. A US based discussion on Partners in Crime is on the live feed too. They recorded a live show at the I-Conn 27 convention on Sunday 6 April. Also (hopefully) coming soon - the Gallifrey 2008 episode recorded live on February 17th. Tentative plan: Saturday 1PM? EDT (6PM BST, 10AM PDT) - Live fan discussion on The Fires Of Pompeii, based on the USA broadcast. To be edited with an earlier UK discussion to make a future episode. Will be available on the live feed. Time subject to change - most up to date time in their forums. Sunday 1PM? EDT (6PM BST, 10AM PDT) - Live fan discussion on The Poison Sky, based on the UK broadcast. To be edited with a US discussion after the SciFi broadcast to make a future episode. Will be available on the live feed. |
