UK - Turn Left airs tonight at 6:40PM (BBC One) and Sunday at 8PM (BBC Three). Listings magazines have the episode at 50 minutes - there are rumors of 51 minutes - set a minute or two either way on your timer. The early start time for tonight's episode was originally to lead into a Euro 2008 match, but that has been replaced by an encore of The Ruby In The Smoke, Billie Piper's first movie after her departure from Doctor Who in 2006. The Friday repeat of Turn Left will be delayed a week to 4 July at 8PM, part of a double header with the Friday repeat of The Stolen Earth. Turn Left will be on iPlayer for 7 days after each broadcast, so it will disappear on 29 July (7 days after the first BBC Three showing, 8 days on iPlayer total) and reappear for a week after the 4 July repeat on BBC Three, instead of the usual 13 consecutive days availability. |
|
USA - SciFi USA http://www.scifi.com is tinkering with their Friday night lineup. Charlie Jade was unceremoniously removed from the Friday 8PM slot after the 13 June broadcast, with previous week Doctor Who episodes rushed in as of 20 June. It appeared that the Doctor Who repeats would stay at 8PM till August, but the schedule changed again last night. A repeat on 27 June at 8PM, then Joan Of Arcadia gets the 8PM slot on 11 July (first time on SciFi, but spent its original 2 year run in the Friday 8PM slot on CBS). New Doctor Who continues on SciFi at 9PM and 11PM Eastern Fridays. |
|
Australia - ABC1 http://www.abc.net.au/tv premieres Series 4 on Sunday 29 June at 7:30PM. While ABC reports they have the right to air Doctor Who Confidential this year, it is not on the ABC1 or ABC2 schedules yet. It could be an online offering or just out of date schedules. |
|
New Zealand - Prime http://www.primetv.co.nz has scheduled Series 4 to premiere Sunday 6 June at 7PM with Voyage Of The Damned. It is assumed that the other 13 episodes will follow weekly. Thanks to the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com for the information. |
|
Germany - SciFi Germany http://www.scifi.de begins UNEDITED repeats of Series 1 this Monday at 7:25PM CET. Episodes will air for the next 2 1/2 weeks. If you missed some episodes or lamented the editing that some received on ProSieben, this is the chance to watch them whole. Series 2 continues on ProSieben - Sundays at 5PM CET. |

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. If you are reading the column on the Outpost Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com news feed, the podcasts are around the middle of the column, right before the PBS stations. If you are reading the feed from the Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho , Usenet, or other sources, the column is distributed in two parts. Podcasts will be near the bottom of part A. |

Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com Doctor Who Classic Series. June Genesis of the Daleks pts 3, 5, and 6 of 6 2 or 3 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. |

Thankfully for them, Who and Galactica are in new episodes on SciFi. Sarah Jane Adventures are also being reviewed. Everything is based on US premiere dates rather than UK. Approximately 90 minutes per episode. Current episode - June 15th - 2 hour special due to interview with a cast member of The Middleman. Looking at Doctor Who - The Unicorn And The Wasp and an extended discussion of Battlestar Galactica - Revelations, the midseason cliffhanger. Sunday 9PM PDT (Midnight EDT, Monday 5AM BST) - 2 hour special. Doctor Who - The Unicorn And The Wasp and any other sci-fi programming will likely be covered in the first 1/2 hour before 90 minutes of discussion on the Battlestar Galactica midseason cliffhanger. |

The resulting show covers Doctor Who, anything else sci-fi related, and can go wildly off in all directions. Current episodes - 47, discussing the Turn Left trailer, Series 4, the group's failure to get around to chatting about Ashes To Ashes, and the problems with unreliable microphones. Sunday 2PM EDT (7PM BST, 11AM PDT) - (Time approximate) - Tentative, discussion of show changing plot twists in genre and non-genre programming through the ages. May or may not have overflow talk about Turn Left, but plan was to discuss other shows with permanent show changing moments. |

Tachyon TV http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk Highly respected fan website with a highly respected Doctor Who podcast. Nice graphics on the website - but I cannot quite figure out what is going on, so I can't say what the current episode is. Will investigate further for next week. The website does have a nice cover that would absolutely say "Don't Panic" if that phrase was not copyrighted by the estate of Douglas Adams. It takes time to study up and get the podcast section in order - thanks for the patience. |
