This Week In Doctor Who PBS and Podcasts December 12, 2009 - Vol 1, No 46 All the Public TV Listings And Podcast Pronouncements by Benjamin F. Elliott http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho http://rss.groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/rss http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/vortex?q=twidw http://thisweekindoctorwho.blogspot.com |

Kansas City fans with KCPT 19 will get at least one more run through the 2006 Doctor Who episodes. New Earth through Rise Of The Cybermen will air in a marathon on Saturday 2 January starting at 8PM CST (unfortunately the same night that The End Of Time, Part Two premieres on BBC America). The remaining 8 episodes air weekly from 9 January at 10:30PM CST (1 episode per week). |
|
San Jose/San Francisco fans - KTEH's website has a Doctor Who Confidential episode airing on 21 December at 10:45PM and Christmas Day at 11:45PM. It has a Doctor Who episode airing Christmas Day at 11PM. KTEH 54.1, KQED 9.2, and KQET 25.2 if this is happening. Episode title unknown. ยป these were "phantom" entries and nothing was broadcast. |
|
USA - Doctor Who - Series 3 (The Runaway Bride and the 13 episode 2007 series with Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones) are now distributed to Public TV stations by BBC Worldwide Americas, not American Public TV. Series 4 is becoming available by January - a PBS station has put it on the schedule. (Maybe it should be Series 4 part 1, as I doubt The Next Doctor onwards are included with it yet.) BBC Worldwide Americas also distributes classic Doctor Who to stations. |
|
If you're a PBS station airing Doctor Who and I don't have you listed - contact me. If you're watching Doctor Who on a PBS station that's not on this list - contact me AND tell me the day, time, and episode that aired so I can track things down (some stations have websites where schedule information is - lacking). |
|
The public TV stations known to have bought The Runaway Bride and Series 3: WXXI 21 Rochester, NY WTTW 11 Chicago, IL WGVU/WGVK 35,52 Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo, MI WILL 12 Urbana, IL WTVP 47 Peoria, IL Iowa Public TV Idaho Public TV Wisconsin Public TV Milwaukee Public TV KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT OETA Oklahoma KLRU 18 Austin, TX Alaska Public TV WSKG/WSKA 46,30 Binghamton/Elmira, NY KERA 13 Dallas, TX (currently in first run) |
|
Now, I am confident that there are more stations with rights to Series 3 and 4 than that. But these are the stations who have contacted me or scheduled the show. Unlike with the Series 1 and 2 deals, we are in the dark till a station comes forward or new Who appears in their schedules. |
|
Series 2 is currently available to public TV stations in an American Public TV package until March 31, 2010. For the Series 1 and 2 packages, stations have bought the rights to cycle through the episodes 4 times. They are not required to do so. American Public TV is no longer offering Series 1 - I do not know if BBC Worldwide Americas will offer those stations to public TV stations now or not. |
|
2 Public TV stations currently have rights to air the classic Doctor Who run (1963-1989), but not New Who. KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA is airing Peter Davison episodes. WHRO 15 Norfolk, VA is airing Tom Baker episodes. |

Radio Free Skaro http://www.radiofreeskaro.com The 3 Canadians (Warren, Steven, Chris) get together on the weekends for about an hour or more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane in a fairly amusing manner. When one is away, the 4th Canadian (Katrina) will play. Current Episodes: -170 - Back To Reality. A fantasy episode, where only Warren and Steven are hosts. -171 - You'll Never Work In This Town Again. Broadcast dates and times for the UK, US, and Canada for the David Tennant 2 part finale.

The Miniscope is destroyed so they can end the series for now and focus on other topics at the end of the year. Its final act was to cram lots of data into their heads about Graham Harper, the only director to date to work on the original Doctor Who run and the modern stories. (This is a metaphorical Miniscope. RFS assures PETM - People for the Ethical Treatment of Miniscopes - that no time sensitive machines were harmed in the making of this episode.) |

Two Minute Time Lord http://twominutetimelord.com A bite-sized commentary and revew show. Host Chip's interest was rekindled by the 2005 revival. He believes in balancing old fandom and new viewers, respect for the past and breaking the rules. He tries to keep his pontifications to 120 seconds, because we're ALL in a hurry these days. Current Episodes: #83. Responding to i09, Defending RTD. #84. The Wilderness Anniversary. Chip gives his thoughts on December 6, 1989, the day the original Doctor Who series died (as a weekly TV show). #85. Chekhov's Sonic Screwdriver. RTD's economy of information gets discussed in this episode. The vast majority of concepts introduced in episodes come back later in other forms. Very little throwaway. The good and the bad of this idea. |

Staggering Stories http://www.staggeringstories.net A wild, wandering podcast with Doctor Who and the other flavours of the moment winding together roughly once every 2 weeks. The website's main focus is on stories collected through the years. Current: Episode 60 - "Blathering In Dreamland". Fake Keith may be missing a lot in the next batch of episodes - find out why! A new animated Doctor Who story aired, so it has to be reviewed. Sarah Jane reviews. Feedback. Many other topics. And if you plan to get feedback in for episode 61, you're already too late. Due to the travel plans of members of the gang, episode 61 has already recorded, to be released later. Coming Later: Episode 61 - Christmas Episode 2009. At least one Christmas bonus involving at least one Staggering Stories cast member and at least one Flashing Blade Podcast cast member. If you have twitter or facebook and follow at least one of these guys, you already know what this will be. |

The Flashing Blade Podcast http://www.flashingblade.org.uk Tony Gallichan. Jo! One man, one woman. One with decades of Doctor Who fan experience. Another who turns on the show when it airs on TV. One has lots of cats. Another can say the word "news" in various amusing ways. Together they unite for a weekly look into the worlds of Doctor Who, hoping to make a TV show for the brain. Can you get feedback in on their latest episode before they record their next one - good luck with that. Current episodes: 26. Review of "Circular Time", and the regular wackiness. 27. The first of two episodes recorded back to back, after Midnight local time for the hosts. Wow! Our sleepy hosts look at the famous 2nd Doctor TV story "The Tomb Of The Cybermen". Professor Dave talks "Dreamland". And lots of feedback. Coming soon. 28.

The Cloister Room http://thecloisterroom.com Tom Dickinson begins a solo Doctor Who podcast effort with short shows on short subject that get to the point, bulldoze through the point, back up to ground the point down some more, then flee the scene before the police arrive. Current episode - 4. Requiem For A Drama. Tom returns after 4 weeks away and looks at shows that are cancelled before their time. Is it worth investing in a show that might soon (or has already) been cancelled. Tom's view is similar to mine (yes, it is worth it), but you're downloading Tom's show for his opinions on this. |
