Today - 5:35PM GMT BBC One:
Doctor Who Confidential - The Eleventh Doctor (35 minutes, title
change)
Well, time to end the speculation. The BBC is announcing the new
actor to play the Doctor in this Doctor Who Confidential special.
Obviously, if you read this after the episode airs, you already know
who the next actor is, as the news will spread like wildfire. If you
were expecting Doctor Who Confidential - The Ten Doctors - apparently
that was a fake to keep us all off guard. Welcome, new actor -
whoever you are.

David Tennant will do 4 more Doctor Who specials to air across the
next year. The new actor takes over for Series 5 - 13 episodes to air
in 2010.

The Other Upcoming premiere broadcasts:
Saturday 3 January:
KBS 2 South Korea Late 12:40AM Partners In Crime
Sunday 4 January:
KBS 2 South Korea Late 12:40AM The Fires Of Pompeii
Tuesday 6 January:
BBC Entertainment Asia 7PM and 9:50PM and 2:20AM Thai time - Last Of
The Time Lords, pt 3
BBC Entertainment India 7:50PM and 10:40PM Thai time - DWC The
Valiant Quest
France 4 8:35PM CET - A.T.M.O.S., pt 1
France 4 9:25PM CET - A.T.M.O.S., pt 2
Wednesday 7 January:
BBC Entertainment India 10:30PM and 2:05AM - Last Of The Time Lords,
pt 3
Sunday 18 January:
BBC Entertainment South Africa 7PM and Midnight CAT - The Runaway
Bride
Sunday 25 January:
ABC Australia 7:30PM - The Next Doctor (60 minutes)

ABC Australia will get The Next Doctor on Sunday 25 January at
7:30PM, just one month after the UK premiere. This is being counted
as fast-tracking. So far no other networks are known to be fast
tracking the episode. The closer we get to a simultaneous worldwide
experience, the better, so congratulations Austrailia!

You may notice the slight title change on the column. Today is a
slight relaunch of the column to make things easier to find. The
Doctor news will be much bigger and overshadowing, but I already made
the changes and can't delay the launch.

1) TWIDW: This Week In Doctor Who (which you are reading now) is all
the Doctor Who schedules for Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia
(plus any appendant islands).
2) Doctor Who schedule info for the Western Hemisphere is in TWIDW:
Western Hemisphere Who Schedules.
3) Torchwood schedule information is included in TWIDW: Torchwood
This Week http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood .
4) Sarah Jane, podcast, and other spinoff info is in TWIDW: The Sarah
Jane Schedules. To reduce clutter for the Doctor Who schedules, the
lists of stations with Doctor Who rights that are not currently
airing the show will be over here.

Outpost Gallifrey News Page readers will get the Doctor Who and Sarah
Jane sections looking pretty much as it has done.
