Congratulations to The Sarah Jane Adventures - Sarah and the gang get

March 7PM GMT). David Tennant is also involved in the night. Doctor
Who had a memorable Comic Relief outing in 1999 in the epic tale "The
Curse Of Fatal Death", starring Rowan Atkinson as the 9th Doctor and
Jonathan Pryce as The Master.
Ireland - TV3 is starting a repeat run of ,span class="dw-title">Doctor Who, over a year after their last broadcast of the show. Hopefully the repeats of Series 2 (or is it Series 1?)) are a precurser to airing Series 3. The repeats start late Thursday 19 February at 1:35AM.
Gallifrey - Some of the readership is at the Gallifrey Convention
http://www.gallifreyone.com in Los Angeles right now. I had hoped to
make it there again (I was there in 2007 and 2008), but it will not
be possible this time. I am planning to be back next year - whether
you like it, or not.

Digital SciFi station.
TV4 - look at the tapes, write down the episode titles, put the
titles on the listings so we know which episode is which. Guessing is
clearly not working anymore. This little bit of help will make it
easier for us all to follow along. That said, thanks to Linda, who
watched this past week's episodes and let me know what was airing, so
there is at least a chance that the listings will now be correct.
