This Week In Doctor Who May 16, 2009 - Vol 12, No 20 The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide since 1998. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood |

Upcoming Premiere Broadcasts: Tuesday 19 May: Ztele Canada 9PM EDT - The Doctor's Daughter (French version) Sunday 24 May: BBC Entertainment Poland 7PM and 11:30PM - The Runaway Bride Sunday 31 May: ABC1 Australia 7:30PM - Planet Of The Dead Monday 1 June: Prime New Zealand 8:30PM - Planet Of The Dead Wednesday 3 June: SciFi Netherlands 7:30PM - Voyage Of The Damned Saturday 20 June: SPACE Canada 9:30PM EDT - Planet Of The Dead (Canada covered in This Week In Doctor Who Western Hemisphere) |
First, as you can see in the upcoming premiere broadcasts, New Zealand Doctor Who fans have a day and time for Planet Of The Dead, the newest Doctor Who episode. It has been mentioned on the NZDWFC forum http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com that Planet is airing 51 days after the UK premiere, the closest an episode has ever aired in New Zealand to the UK premiere. |
|
The secret is out - on May 9th I took part in a special recording for the DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com along with Chip of the Two Minute Time Lord and the regular Whocast hosts. Listed as Episode 118 of the Whocast, it is the first of two episodes. 119 features the views of various Doctor Who podcasters and should be out before most of you get this column. Why can't Doctor Who air at the same time around the world? Why the delays? It's not technology. These points and more were hashed out among us. It's a good episode. Be aware that we used Skype. Also, due to time issues, Chip and I were doing this at 6AM, and our voices do suffer a bit. Very honored to be involved. |
|
The show was inspired in part by my recent manifest on Doctor Who and international broadcasting. Find it at http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/860 . I think the issue bugs everybody, and we all are searching for answers in our own way. How do we get the new episodes available at the same time everywhere? |
