The original test post of This Week In Doctor Who went out on July 13, 1998.
Happy 11th to the column as of Monday.

Upcoming Premiere Broadcasts:

Sunday 12 July:
BBC Entertainment Poland 6:40PM - 42
Wednesday 15 July:
SciFi Netherlands 7:30PM - The Doctor's Daughter
Saturday 25 July:
SPACE Canada 9PM EDT/6PM PDT - Planet Of The Dead (see This Week In Doctor Who
Western Hemisphere)
Sunday 26 July:
BBC America USA 8PM and 11PM and 2AM EDT/5PM and 8PM and 11PM PDT - Planet Of
The Dead (see This Week In Doctor Who Western Hemisphere)

The trigger has been pulled. Outpost Gallifrey has closed its news page
(http://www.doctorwhonews.com goes to a new page with the same team at Gallifrey
News Base), and the This Week In Doctor Who mirror there is no more. The
replacement link is http://thisweekindoctorwho.blogspot.com , and of course the
other places I've mentioned that This Week is available. This Week In Doctor Who
has been proud to be associated with Outpost Gallifrey in one form or another
since July 1998 when this column began. Thanks for all the glorious years.

Torchwood's ratings success and plot twists (be very careful on the internet if
you are waiting for Torchwood to air in your country or for the DVDs/Blu-Rays)
are still sucking up most of the air from Doctor Who news.

UK - If you have been watching the endless repeats of Series 1 and 2 of Doctor Who on Watch (and previously on UKTV Gold), wondering when they would get newer episodes - Series 3 begins tonight with The Runaway Bride and Smith and Jones. For those who prefer their Who commercial free, BBC Three is going back to the start of the new era on Friday with Rose. Looks like Fridays at 8, Saturdays and Monday through Thursday at 7PM for the repeats.

France - France 4 is beginning a repeat run this Friday. Starting with Series 2
this time along.

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