Congratulations to The Sarah Jane Adventures - Sarah and the gang get
a mini-episode during Red Nose Day for Comic Relief 2009 (Friday 13
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.

Scandanavian Countries - BBC Entertainment Scandanavia
http://scandanavia.bbcentertainment.com is beginning a weekly run of
Doctor Who this Sunday at 8PM and 11ish, starting with The Christmas
Invasion. This is Doctor Who's premiere on this version of BBC
Entertainment, though the episodes have aired on some local
broadcasters in the territories. BBC Prime Europe also aired these
episodes before it was taken away from this set of countries. No idea
when BBC Prime Europe or BBC Entertainment Scandanavia will get
Series 3.
