|
12 days till the new Doctor Who episode on BBC One - The Next Doctor! Christmas Day at 6PM GMT. A one hour Doctor Who Confidential airs on BBC Three at 7PM GMT, with a 10 minute look at top Doctor Who Christmas moments at 8PM GMT. |
|
As for Doctor Who At The Proms, the concert recorded in July, it is now scheduled to premiere at the same day and time on BBC One and BBC HD - Thursday New Years Day 2009 at 1:50PM GMT. There will be repeats on BBC HD. The broadcast version is 60 minutes. There may be an extended version on the BBC Red Button service after the initial broadcast. |
|
There is currently no listing for a Doctor Who Confidential episode to tie in with The Next Doctor. I fully expect that there will be a Confidential on BBC Three - their Christmas schedule is very tentative. |
|
There was a live Doctor Who: Podshock on December 7 looking back at Series 4. It included contributors from a number of podcasts. Next live Podshock on the 28th, with regular episodes also going out. |
|
There will be a cast change at the DWO Whocast. British co-host Tony has departed the show. Trevor remains and a new co-host will be named soon. Michael (host of the Tin Dog Podcast) is substituting as co- host on an interim basis. Best wishes for Tony and the changing Whocast team as they set off in their new directions. The DWO Whocast is about to do its 100th podcast, joining Podshock and Radio Free Skaro as Doctor Who pod programs to pass 100 episodes. Congratulations. |
|
Canadians with broadband internet connections can go to the CBC website http://www.cbc.ca/doctorwho and watch the full version of Journey's End. It is expected up sometime today (December 13). The version shown on CBC TV was edited down to 44 minutes due to the time slot. The video will not work outside of Canada. |

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. |
