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 - 14(?) - Review of The Doctor's Daughter and The
Unicorn And The Wasp (free)
Next episode - probably a review of Silence In The Library and Forest
Of The Dead (paid subscribers only)
Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft review Doctor Who episodes when their
busy schedule of podcasts allows time.
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.
Tachyon TV http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk
Note to Tachyon guys - the brand new episode on iTunes turned out to
be 1.2, an episode made in Fall 2007. Surreal choice. Thought you'd
like to know - especially if you did not tell iTunes to post it.
