Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 2nd April 1999:
BBC Choice Scotland aired Terror of the Zygons in three 30 minute segments this week from Monday to Wednesday. The story has been altered so it could air in Widescreen format. They also aired Terror in November, but no one mentioned it at the time. I think this is the only Doctor Who story this station had aired, probably because the story is set at Loch Ness. Presumably BBC Choice Scotland is available in all UK digital homes. At this writing, there is no mention of the station on the BBC website, and no online listings for the station anywhere, making it impossible for me to find out when or if the next Doctor Who broadcast is. BBC Choice also has a regional Wales station. Maybe we should keep our eyes out for sDeltaandtheBannermen. ;-)
