Australia - it looks like UKTV Australia will premiere Series 2 on Tuesday 3 February, using the timeslots where they currently repeat Series 1. If you were not able to see Series 2 in 2008 because you could not get Ten's HD station, hopefully it will be a bit easier to get UKTV.

UK - BBC HD begins a late night repeat of Series 2 Tuesdays at 11PM
starting on the 13th. This is probably the uncut versions of Series
2. BBC HD reran the Pre-Watershed versions of Series 2 this past fall
in an early evening slot.

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
