UK - You thought new Doctor Who in the UK was over till Christmas, right? Well, BBC7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 and Big Finish http://www.doctorwho.co.uk are out to prove you wrong. Paul McGann returns as The 8th Doctor and Sheridan Smith returns as Lucy Miller in eight 50 minute full cast radio episodes - Sundays at 6PM and Midnight UK Time starting 19 October. Paul McGann played the Doctor in the 1996 TV Movie and in many Big Finish direct to cd audio stories since 2001. He is the official 8th Doctor, the link between Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor in Classic Who - late 1980s) and Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor/New Series 1/2005). |
|
This is actually the second set of Paul McGann audios made for BBC7. An earlier set of 8 Paul McGann/Sheridan Smith episodes ran in late 2006/early 2007. That time the episodes aired on the radio before getting released on CD. For these new episodes the CD releases came first, which is why the radio run was delayed a bit. No word on whether the previous BBC7/Big Finish Doctor Who series is going to repeat soon. |

CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television http://www.cbc.ca/doctorwho http://www.dwin.org 16:9 widescreen digital, 16:9 letterbox analog Co-producer on Doctor Who and Torchwood. http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor "The Planet Of The Doctor" exclusive CBC.CA documentary. 6 regular episodes and 1 special. Approximately 90 minutes. Series 4 episodes on the CBC Doctor Who website (region locked for Canadians only) for several weeks after broadcast. May have material cut from the Canadian broadcast. CBC Bold is currently airing repeats of Series 2 - look in the repeats section Friday 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-05 The Poison Sky pt 2 of 2 24 October 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-06 The Doctor's Daughter 31 October 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-07 The Unicorn and the Wasp 7 November 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-08 Silence in the Library pt 1 of 2 14 November 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-09 Forest of the Dead pt 2 of 2 21 November 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-10 Midnight 28 November 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-11 Turn Left 5 December 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-12 The Stolen Earth pt 1 of 2 12 December 9PM (9:30PM Newfoundland) 4-13 Journey's End pt 2 of 2 (?) if you are in the Central or Mountain Time Zones, SPACE's broadcasts of Torchwood are going to overlap with your local CBC's broadcast of Who. Most satelite subscribers can get multiple feeds of the CBC and presumably digital cable customers can too. If you want to see both Doctor Who and Torchwood, use the various CBC feeds to your advantage. The Torchwood finale is 24 October, marking the end of the schedule conflict. |

Illusion TV On Demand http://www.illusiontv.com Doctor Who Classic Series. October Genesis of the Daleks pts 1+2 of 6 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. |
