SciFi Channel Netherlands http://www.scifi-tv.nl has obtained the first run rights to Series 3 of Doctor Who for the Netherlands. A 2 episode premiere with the 1965 Peter Cushing Dalek movie begin airing on the channel on 16 September, with many same week repeats. 1 episode per week thereafter. Series 2 premiered on Nederland 2. |
Does anybody know the status of the channel Jimmy in Italy? There are some reports that the channel may be ceasing to exist in September, which would be before they finish the current premiere run of Doctor Who (Series 3) and Torchwood (Series 2). Is the channel going away? If so, where are the programmes going? |

Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week column http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood . Of note - the radio episode Lost Souls will air on BBC Radio 4 on 10 September. |

Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com Doctor Who Classic Series. August The Tomb of the Cybermen all 4 eps 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. |

CIA - Cultdom In Audio http://ciashock.podomatic.com Live Talkshoe broadcasts http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/30659 call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 30659 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 longest episode in CIA history, at roughly 2 hours, 14 minutes - which is a shock, as I wasn't around to jabber a bit and slow things down. Sunday 1:45PM EDT (10:45AM PDT, 6:45PM BST) - CIA really knows where its towel is. I will probably not show up, due to my birthday. 24 August 1:45PM EDT (10:45AM PDT, 6:45PM BST) - CIA discovers Anime! 31 August 1:45PM EDT (10:45AM PDT, 6:45PM BST) - Convention reports??? |
