SciFi Channel UK http://www.scifi.co.uk has a 3 day Bank Holiday weekend marathon of classic Doctor Who (23 to 25 August) right now, which implies a new home for Classic Doctor Who in the UK as autumn approaches. No Doctor Who episodes on SciFi UK in September or October - hmm. |
|
  |
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. |
  |
Channel Jimmy in Italy http://www.jimmy140.it now has some September schedules up, with Doctor Who (Series 3) airing all month. We had been waiting for word as there were reports the channel could be going away. |
CANADA - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca does not have Classic Doctor Who or the Sarah Jane Adventures in the fall 2008 schedule. This is the first time Doctor Who has been absent since the channel's launch in 2001. Hopefully we can get word from BBC Kids whether the shows will return in 2009. In particular - will BBC Kids air Sarah Jane Adventures Series 2? For now, Doctor Who and Sarah Jane air through at least the 14th of September ... |
|
  |
CANADA - Ztele http://www.ztele.com does not have Doctor Who (new or reruns) in the fall schedule. Odds are Series 4 will air sometime in 2009. Time will tell. Torchwood fans should look in the Torchwood This Week column to be ready for that show's return later in the fall. |
UK - BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone begins a repeat run of the Sarah Jane Adventures Sunday 31 August at 2PM BST (3:40PM BBC One Scotland). The 5 Series 1 schedules are expected to air in omnibus format weekly. Series 2 is expected in late September on BBC One and CBBC. |
|
 |
UK - BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree is suspending their repeat run of Doctor Who after 28 August, replacing it with a weeknight double header of The Real Hustle. No reason is known for the schedule change (Doctor Who episodes were scheduled for 31 August to 4 September at one point). UKTV Gold will end their weekday run of Series 1 and 2 episodes on Tuesday 9 September, with erratic airings of a few episodes on weekends to finish the month. |
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 in the Afternoon Play spot. |

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. |

Cliff And Stephanie's Doctor Who Fan Podcast http://www.gspn.tv Current episode - 13 - Review of Planet Of The Ood (free) Next episode - 14 - Review of Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks (paid subscribers only) Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft review Doctor Who episodes on a weekly basis. Start of new installments as they review Series 4, skipping Voyage Of The Damned for now and focusing on the Doctor/Donna episodes. GSPN.tv is a network of podcasts on TV shows, daily life, religion, and other issues that interest the 3 Ravenscrafts. Doctor Who Fan Podcast becomes one of the pay programs in the network starting with episode 12. The existing paying audience ranked Doctor Who dead last in their interests (annoying the hosts who want to do the show but are living off the revenue from their podcasts). If you subscribe to their podcasts in order to hear the new Doctor Who episodes, be sure to alert them that you are doing this. Half the episodes expected to be free, half paid. |
