Section A - Everything But The PBS Stations
Upcoming premiere broadcasts:
Saturday 24 May:
LaDeux Belgium 5PM CET - Army Of Ghosts, pt 1 (French)
LaDeux Belgium 5:50PM CET - Doomsday, pt 2 (French, end of new
episodes)
BBC One 6:45PM BST - Appointment With Fear (trailer for 2nd half of
Series 4)

SciFi USA 8:30PM EDT/PDT - Sarah Jane Adventures - The Lost Boy, pt 2
(first series finale)
SciFi USA 9 and 11PM EDT/PDT - The Poison Sky, pt 2
Saturday 31 May:
BBC One 7PM BST - Silence In The Library, pt 1
BBC Three 7:45PM BST - DWC - Shadow Play (45 minutes)
Sunday 1 June:
BBC Three 8PM BST - Silence In The Library, pt 1
BBC Three 8:45PM BST - DWC - Shadow Play (15 minutes)
BBC 7 Midnight BST (radio) - The Commentaries, pt 8 of 13 (full
version)
Sunday 8 June:
UKTV Australia - hourly from 10:45AM AEST - DWC Cut Down Series 3 -
the 13 regular cut down episodes air for the first time in Australia
UK - Doctor Who will be pre-empted, as coverage of Eurovision would
force the BBC to schedule part 1 of a Steven Moffat written 2 parter
earlier in the evening than they want to air it. Doctor Who returns
on 31 May. But tune in to BBC One at 6:45PM BST for a trailer for the
2nd half of Series 4.
Next week - Silence In The Library airs 31 May at 7PM (BBC One), 1
June at 8PM (BBC Three), and 6 June at 9PM (BBC Three). It is up
against the finale of ratings juggernaut "Britain's Got Talent" on
ITV1 - 6:45PM to 8:30PM.
If you are worried about missing the Britain's Got Talent finale, you
have six extra chances to watch the full 3 plus hours of the event
(competition plus multiple results shows).
1) Late Saturday 31 May Midnight - ITV 2
2) Late Saturday 31 May 1AM - ITV 2 + 1
3) Sunday 1 June 6:35AM - ITV 2
4) Sunday 1 June 7:35AM - ITV 2 + 1
5) Sunday 1 June 8PM - ITV 2
6) Sunday 1 June 9PM - ITV 2 + 1
So, no excuse to miss Silence In The Library if you want to see it.
However, if you do miss Doctor Who on the 31st, you have the regular
two BBC Three repeats and UK residents have one week to see it on BBC
iPlayer.
Steven Moffat previously wrote The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, The
Girl In The Fireplace, and Blink, and was a nice fellow at
conventions. Expect to see less of him in public and more of his
influence on the screen, as Steven has been named Russell T Davies'
successor as the head person on Doctor Who effective with Series 5
(the 2010 episodes). RTD led this revival from the initial deal in
2003 to the premiere in 2005 and finishes his time in charge with the
2009 specials. Congratulations to Steven Moffat on getting the gig
running the world's craziest Sci-Fi TV show. And thanks to Russell T
Davies for his years of work (and presumably at least one more year
to come to get the 2009 specials out) reviving Doctor Who. See the
news about the succession at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/latest/080520_news_01 .
USA - SciFi USA http://www.scifi.com will conclude Series 1 of the Sarah Jane Adventures this Friday May 30 at 8PM EDT with both episodes of The Lost Boy. Canadian/South African Sci-Fi epic Charlie Jade takes the Sarah Jane slot on Friday June 6.
Africa/Middle East - The Showtime Arabia satellite service will begin
airing Series 3 this Friday May 30 (multiple airings each week) on
Showseries 1 and Showseries Extra. They are starting with Smith And
Jones.
Belgium - French station LaDeux http://www.ladeux.be concludes their
run of "new" Doctor Who today at 5PM with Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday. It
is not known when LaDeux will air Series 3 or when the een network
will air new episodes in Flemish.
USA - BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com will do a 5 hour Memorial
Day weekend marathon from Series 3. The Human Nature/Family Of Blood
two parter at 1PM EDT/10AM PDT, followed by Utopia/The Sound Of
Drums/Last Of The Time Lords at 3PM EDT/Noon PDT. Other than this,
BBC America is airing Series 2 episodes on Saturdays and Sundays.
Series 3 is airing 1 episode per week on SciFi Friday at 5AM EDT.
CANADA - French network Ztele http://www.ztele.com will finish the current Series 2 repeats on a weekly schedule instead of the weekday schedule of recent months. 1 episode late Tuesday at 1AM EDT, repeating late Thursday at 2AM EDT.
AUSTRALIA - UKTV http://www.uktv.com.au is having a Doctor Who weekend for the holidays. Saturday June 7 - Series 2 all day. 9AM to 11PM AEST. All 14 episodes and the 13 Cut Down Confidentials that tie into the regular episodes. Sunday June 8 - the UKTV premiere of Series 3 all day. Again 9AM to 11PM AEST, with the 14 episodes and the Australian TV premiere of the 13 Cut Down Confidentials for regular episodes. Viewer advisory - Last of the Time Lords (8 June 10PM AEST) is listed as 45 minutes, which if true would be the EDITED INTERNATIONAL VERSION. Here's hoping that is a mistake and they got the 51 minute version that aired on ABC 1 last year. All times 2 hours later on UKTV + 2.
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This 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 - Aftershock May 20 2008,
with the breaking news about Steven Moffat taking over as Doctor
Who's head executive producer for the 2010 series. 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.
No live shows scheduled for this weekend, as SciFi did not air a new
to US episode on 23 May and BBC One is not airing a new episode on
Saturday 24 May.
