Canada Update - SPACE - Dr Who Planet Of The Dead NOT Airing June 20
(posted 21st May 2009, 4:10pm - TWIDW post #0877)
For weeks, it has been reported by many people (myself included) that the SPACE Channel in Canada would air the Easter 2009 Doctor Who Special Planet of the Dead on Saturday June 20 at 9:30PM Eastern (6:30PM Pacific). It turns out we were mistaken.Steven from Radio Free Skaro noticed that SPACE put up a Who-less schedule for June 20. An e-mail to SPACE's feedback department later, and we have the current facts.

Hi Benjamin, The Doctor Who Planet of the Dead will not be airing until a bit laterthis summer, but this has not been confirmed. It will NOT be airing June20,(not sure where that date came from), but we will release the firmdate in a couple of weeks. I can't wait either, and would love it if wecould air it sooner. Keep in mind, we will be broadcasting the whole special online, for a7-day post-broadcast catch-up window, in case you can't make the liveairing.


So, everybody can take June 20 off their calendars. False alarm. Hopefully the correct date will propagate once we have one.
