Broadcast notes:

As Tele 5's listings never indicated which episode was being shown, it isn't 100% sure this is correct (broadcasts are now believed to be block of 26 episodes consisting of Robot, The Ark In Space, Revenge of the Cybermen, Genesis of the Daleks, Terror of the Zygons and Planet of Evil). This episode was noted by TWiDW as being identified by a local source.

Reports from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 7th June 2002:
Polish digital TV channel TELE 5 (not the German TELE 5, the Polish TELE 5) recently started airing Doctor Who weekend mornings at 9:30AM Central European Time. This Saturday, 8 June, episode 3 of Genesis of the Daleks will air - dubbed in Polish.

While the channel is digital, it is not encrypted. I can't tell from the info I got if you can pick it up over the air with an antenna, but you can get it for free on satellite. Here is the satellite info:

ASTRA-satellite (orbital position: 19,2° East)
10.832Ghz, horizontal, 27500Bytes

http://www.wirtualnemedia.pl/tele5/index1.htm appears to be the website for this channel, though I'm still investigating and I don't know a word of Polish. Will announce in next week's TWIDW if there is a better site. Also, if anyone out there knows a good translator which converts Polish language websites to English, drop me an e-mail. The best known translator (Babelfish) does not currently have a Polish translating setup.

Doctor Who is now on the air in Poland.

Polish digital TV channel TELE 5 (not the German TELE 5, the Polish TELE 5) recently started airing Doctor Who weekend mornings at 9:30AM Central European Time. This Saturday, 8 June, episode 3 of Genesis of the Daleks will air - dubbed in Polish.

Saturdays and Sundays at 9:30AM. Titled Doktor Who. So, Genesis Of The Daleks 3 should air Saturday and Genesis Of The Daleks 4 should air Sunday.

While the channel is digital, it is not encrypted. I can't tell from the info I got if you can pick it up over the air with an antenna, but you can get it for free on satellite. Here is the satellite info:

ASTRA-satellite (orbital position: 19,2° East)
10.832Ghz, horizontal, 27500Bytes

http://www.tele5.pl/ is the correct website for the channel, as opposed to the site mentioned before. The website is pretty useless, and only gives the airing times.

Also, if anyone out there knows a good translator which converts Polish language websites to English, drop me an e-mail. The best known translator (Babelfish) does not currently have a Polish translating setup.

If you spot Doctor Who on the air somewhere, and I haven't mentioned it in TWIDW, please let me know. Let's keep the column up to date for the whole world.
