This Week In Doctor Who PBS
February 20, 2010
by Benjamin F Elliott

I'm going to skip the podcast section this time due to my not being able to
update it and its size. I hope to return it next week, if certain computer
problems can be solved.

KUHT 8 Houston, TX slipped Doctor Who back on the schedule without my hearing about it. Not sure how long Who has been back in Houston, but they are in the middle of premiering the 2008 episodes (10th Doctor and Donna, aka Series 30 by current production team terminology, aka Series 4 when the episodes were being made).

KVCR 24 San Bernadino, CA is burning off their final cycle of Series 28 (10th Doctor and Rose) episodes this weekend (late Friday through late Sunday).

KCPT 19 Kansas City, MO has sporadically aired Series 28 (the 2006 episodes)
for the past 2 years, without buying Series 29 (the 2007 episodes). Now the
first 2 episodes of Series 30 (the 2008 episodes) will air as a pledge
special from 9:30PM till Midnight on Saturday 6 March. I don't know if this
means they bought the full set of episodes or if they are waiting to see how
the pledge night turns out. But it'll be a good night to see the uncut
versions of Partners In Crime and The Fires Of Pompeii, while letting KCPT
know that you want more.

We are hearing reports that WGBY 57 in Springfield, MA is preparing a pledge
night (March 13th) where Doctor Who and Doc Martin will battle it out. The
show that gets more pledge support from the viewers will get a regular time
slot on the station.

March 13th will also be the pledge night for:
1) Milwaukee Public TV 10 Milwaukee, WI - Planet Of The Ood, 9:30PM Central
2) Iowa Public TV (statewide) - Voyage Of The Damned, 9PM Central

And now, the listings:
