ShowSeries 1 5PM UAE - Smith And Jones
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).
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week

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.
