Upcoming Premiere Broadcasts:
Sunday 25 January:
ABC Australia 7:30PM - The Next Doctor (60 minutes)
BBC Entertainment South Africa 7PM and Midnight CAT - Smith And Jones
Tuesday 27 January:
France 4 8:35PM CET - Un Passager De Trop
France 4 9:20PM CET - Le Choix De Donna

Dubai One http://www.dmi.ae/dubaione/default.asp has apparently been
airing Doctor Who to viewers in Dubai and Egypt. Episodes were
apparently airing over Christmas. Alas, no episodes are airing now,
which makes it hard to pinpoint where they are. Warren of Radio Free
Skaro reported that Dubai One was airing Series 3. If we have any
Dubai readers who can help on this, please let me know.

ABC Australia will get The Next Doctor THIS 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! A repeat run
of Series 2 (with Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down) starts this
Tuesday at 8:30PM.

For press releases on Doctor Who, keep an eye on the BBC Press Office
