Sunday 29 June:
ABC Australia 7:30PM - Voyage Of The Damned (4th Series Premiere!)
Friday 19 September:
CBC 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) - 4th Series Premiere!
UK - Silence In The Library airs tonight at 7PM (BBC One), Sunday at
8PM (BBC Three), and Friday at 9PM (BBC Three). It is up against the
finale of ratings juggernaut "Britain's Got Talent" on ITV1 - 6:50PM
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 tonight, you have the regular two
BBC Three repeats and UK residents have one week to see it on BBC
iPlayer.
AUSTRALIA - ABC http://www.abc.net.au will premiere Series 4 with
Voyage Of The Damned on Sunday 29 June at 7:30PM. Episodes will air
on Sundays thereafter. Previous series premiered on Saturdays. The
news broke when a moderator on the ABC Have Your Say message board
answered a viewer question, and the broadcaster confirmed it a day or
two later. Thanks to the folks at Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com and the South Australian Doctor Who Fan
Club http://www.sfsa.org.au for updates.
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.
POLAND - TVP1 has slipped Series 1 repeats back on - late Saturdays
at 12:30AM, 2 episodes. Meanwhile, BBC Entertainment Poland is doing
a 36 hour marathon of Series 1 right now - 6AM Saturday to 6PM
Sunday. 3 runs through Series 1, stopping with Bad Wolf on the 3rd
run Sunday afternoon.
GERMANY - SciFi Germany http://www.scifi.de has added Doctor Who Series 1 to their schedule. Weeknights at 7:25PM with a repeat starting between 1 and 2AM, starting Monday 23 June. So if you missed some of the episodes on Pro 7, now is your chance to tune in again.
Or just watch on general principle.
RUSSIA - NBC Universal announced the launch of Universal (29 May) and
SciFi (30 May) in Russia. SciFi will apparently air Doctor Who and
Torchwood starting very soon. I do not yet have a website or schedule
information. Series 1 of Doctor Who has aired in Russia before,
though Series 2 and beyond plus Torchwood should be new to the
country.
I am updating the online programming section of the column. There are
many more internet broadcasts/podcasts these days that are Doctor Who
related - some of them very good. I cannot guarantee to find/add all
the appropriate shows, but I will do my best to include the active
ones. If you want to be added (or for some reason want not to be
listed), please e-mail me. Some of these shows are recorded live
online in the event that listeners want to call in and give their
thoughts.
Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week
column http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood .

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.

West, Dave AC, Colin, and other Doctor Who fans liked the live Doctor
Who: Podshocks so much that they wanted to keep talking afterwards.
The new show covers Doctor Who, anything else sci-fi related, and can
go wildly off in all directions. They were trying to get an actual
web site up this week - not sure if it is around.
