It is with great excitement KPTS in Wichita, KS will be showing Season 13 of Classic Doctor Who, although in a format different from before. Channel 8 is purchasing the season in serial format, so you'll be able to enjoy the 4th Doctor and his trusty companion, Sarah Jane Smith in bite-sized half-hour episodes instead of the omnibus formats which can sometimes go on for 2-1/2 hours. The season will air twice beginning in June and will run through July 2015. Each episode will start at 9pm (and following another great BBC show, Doc Martin airing at 8pm, beginning in July). Here is the tentative schedule of episodes for 2014.
