UK - The Unicorn And The Wasp premieres at 7PM BST tonight on BBC One
(Saturday), with the 45 minute Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three
at 7:45PM. If you miss it, do not panic. BBC Three airs The Unicorn
And The Wasp 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.
Next week Doctor Who will be pre-empted, as coverage of Eurovision
would force the BBC to schedule part 1 of a Stephen Moffat written 2
parter earlier in the evening than they want to air it. Doctor Who
returns on 31 May.
USA - SciFi USA http://www.scifi.com will pre-empt Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures on the 23rd of May due to their traditional Memorial Day weekend movie marathon. This means that viewers will be waiting 2 weeks for part 2 of the Doctor Who and Sarah Jane stories.
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.
USA - BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com halted their weekday
repeat run of Doctor Who yesterday after airing 5 episodes. It looked
like episodes were being slightly edited (versus previous BBC America
airings), and the closing credits were remade in the bottom of the
screen cropping the image during the last 15 seconds of the main
feature. The weekend broadcasts of Doctor Who continue, and do not
seem to have additional editing or credits cutting off part of the
story.
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week
column http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood .
For press releases on Doctor Who, keep an eye on the BBC Press Office

In the Doctor Who Blog http://www.doctorwhoblog.com at DWIN there is
a cryptic riddle revealing the leaked premiere day and time for
Doctor Who Series 4 on the CBC. Leaks are subject to change. I'll let
the riddle hold the information for now, putting it here in the next
edition.
USA:
Based on BBC America's online schedule, the weeknight repeat run of
Doctor Who has been removed from the lineup after just 1 week.

Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com
Doctor Who Classic Series.
May Genesis of the Daleks pts 1 and 3 of 6 (seriously!)
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, The Sontaran Stratagem, "The Poison
Sky", and The Doctor's Daughter are currently on the live feed but
still to come to the official cleaned up podcasts. US based
discussions on Partners in Crime, The Fires of Pompeii,
and Planet of the Ood are 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 live show plan:
Saturday Noon EDT (5PM BST, 9AM PDT) - Live fan discussion on The
Sontaran Stratagem, 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 Noon EDT (5PM BST, 9AM PDT) - Live fan discussion on The
Unicorn And The Wasp, 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.
