As of this writing, it is confirmed that all Dalek and Terry Nation stories
are unavailable to US TV stations to purchase for broadcast. There are
rights issues between Terry Nation's estate and the BBC (at least in
America) temporarily preventing stories from being shown. The issues are
being worked on, and it is hoped that the stories will become available for
broadcast again soon.

Existing Doctor Who stories that are not available right now:
The Dead Planet aka The Daleks aka The Mutants (1963)
The Keys Of Marinus
The Dalek Invasion Of Earth
The Chase
Day Of The Daleks
Planet Of The Daleks
Death To The Daleks
Genesis Of The Daleks
The Android Invasion
Destiny Of The Daleks
The Five Doctors (?)
Resurrection Of The Daleks
Revelation Of The Daleks
Remembrance Of The Daleks

Existing Doctor Who stories that *might* not be available right now - it's
unclear:
The Space Museum (Dalek shell appears in episode 2, full version of episode
4 has Dalek cameo at end)
The War Games (Dalek appears in cameo in episode 10)
Frontier In Space (Daleks appear extensively in episode 6)

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org/ has removed Resurrection Of The
Daleks from its schedule for April 26 and has replaced it with Frontios,
which had been missing. MPT also skipped The Five Doctors, where a Dalek has
an extended cameo, so I have tentatively placed that story in the list of
now unavailable stories.

KERA 13 Dallas, TX http://www.kera.org/ did resume airing Doctor Who late
Friday April 4 at 12:30AM. Having aired the 3rd and 4th Doctor stories in
production order, they now are airing stories in broadcast order.
Castrovalva aired April 4th. Four To Doomsday aired April 11th.

I have no new information regarding WQED/WQEX 13,16 Pittsburgh, PA. WQED's
website lists a Doctor Who episode airing this Saturday, while TV Guide and
Zap2it's websites list members' choice pledge specials in the slot.

Over in the UK, UK Gold will have "Dalek Days" on the May Bank Holidays. 10
of the 11 complete Dalek stories will air - 5 stories per Bank Holiday. Only
"The Chase" is being skipped. It is too soon to be sure how much of the
marathons will air on UK Gold 2 or UK Gold +1. These will be UK Gold's
existing prints of stories, and not remastered versions. Here's the lineup:

Monday 5 May
7:20AM BST  "The Dead Planet" aka "The Daleks" aka "The Mutants"
10:45AM BST "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth"
1:35PM BST "The Day Of The Daleks"
3:25PM BST "Planet Of The Daleks"
6:05PM BST "Death To The Daleks"

Monday 26 May
9:50AM BST "Genesis Of The Daleks"
12:35PM BST "Destiny Of The Daleks"
2:30PM BST "Resurrection Of The Daleks"
4:20PM BST "Revelation Of The Daleks"
6:10PM BST "Remembrance Of The Daleks"

The UK Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ will be airing the 1996
Doctor Who TV Movie on 5 May from 7:20 to 9PM.

The South African Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ - yes, the same
website - will air both the 1996 Doctor Who movie and a new Doctor Who
special in May. The special is part of a series profiling UK Science fiction
shows called "SF:UK". Here's the lineup:
Saturday 3 May 4:25PM "SF:UK - Trips Through Time And Space" (first airing?)
Wednesday 21 May 8PM "Doctor Who" 1996 TV Movie
Wednesday 21 May 9:25PM "SF:UK - Trips Through Time And Space"
Saturday 24 May 6:35PM "Doctor Who" 1996 TV Movie

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - April 23, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 17
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Sue Cowley of the Doctor Who Restoration Team has issued a report on the
status of Dalek and Terry Nation stories which clarifies recent issues
somewhat. For anyone who hasn't read this on Outpost Gallifrey or related
sites yet:

"As it currently stands, stories written by Terry Nation cannot be screen on
TV anywhere in the world during the latter half of 2003 and beyond. Hence
the situation with PBS, and UK Gold's Dalek special is being run rather
earlier in the year than might have otherwise been anticipated.

"The matter relates specifically to stories and situations penned by Terry
Nation, and it is not restricted to Doctor Who. Neither is it a new or
unexpected "problem". Negotiations are in progress to allow further
transmissions. In my role as Manager of the catalogue for BBC Worldwide TV,
I remain hopeful that this matter can be resolved in the near future. To the
best of my knowledge, this has absolutely no bearing on current or
forthcoming video/DVD releases, which are negotiated and cleared under
separate agreements."

Here is the UK Gold Dalek Days schedules, as best we know them at this
point:

Monday 5 May
UK Gold   UK Gold 2
7:20AM   6PM*  "The Dead Planet" aka "The Daleks" aka "The Mutants"
10:45AM 7:45PM "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth"
1:35PM    10:35PM "The Day Of The Daleks"
3:25PM    12:25AM "Planet Of The Daleks"
6:05PM    Not On "Death To The Daleks"

*Might not be complete on UK Gold 2. Either that or the times are wrong.

Monday 26 May
Only UK Gold's info is up so far.
9:50AM BST "Genesis Of The Daleks"
12:35PM BST "Destiny Of The Daleks"
2:30PM BST "Resurrection Of The Daleks"
4:20PM BST "Revelation Of The Daleks"
6:10PM BST "Remembrance Of The Daleks"

WYBE-DT 34 Philadelphia, PA and WCNY-DT 25 Syracuse, NY are now on the air,
and apparently simulcast their schedules of their analog brothers (WYBE 35
and WCNY 24), including Doctor Who. Non-commercial TV stations in the US are
required to have their digital signals on the air by May 1st or have applied
for extensions.

The UK Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ will be airing the 1996
Doctor Who TV Movie on 5 May from 7:20 to 9PM.

The South African Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ - yes, the same
website - will air both the 1996 Doctor Who movie and a new Doctor Who
special in May. The special is part of a series profiling UK Science fiction
shows called "SF:UK". Here's the lineup:
Saturday 3 May 4:25PM "SF:UK - Trips Through Time And Space" (first airing?)
Wednesday 21 May 8PM "Doctor Who" 1996 TV Movie
Wednesday 21 May 9:25PM "SF:UK - Trips Through Time And Space"
Saturday 24 May 6:35PM "Doctor Who" 1996 TV Movie

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what

SHADA! The latest Doctor Who story to premiere on the BBC's Doctor Who

Friday. 6 episodes will be serialized on Fridays, and stay online for later
listening.

The first of UK Gold's two Dalek Days runs this Bank Holiday Monday in the
UK.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

UK Gold http://www.onthebox.com/partner/otb
Fri 11:40PM-2:15AM, Sat 6:30-9AM BST "Planet Of The Spiders" movie
The 3rd Doctor's life comes to a halt in a story with mind reading, a "car"
chase of James Bond proportions, the return of a friend, the admonition of a
mentor, and the trouble caused by a Blue Crystal.
Sat 11:55PM-1:45AM, Sun 7:20-9AM BST "Robot" movie
Tom Baker becomes the 4th Doctor. A group of mad scientists and
intellectuals used a hyper intelligent Robot to bring the world to
blackmail. That was their first mistake.
Mon 7:20-10:45AM BST "The Dead Planet" aka "The Daleks" aka "The Mutants
(1963)" movie
Dalek Day One begins on UK Gold. Ian and Barbara arrive on an alien world
for the first time. The world appears dead, but two life forms survive. One
species looks and sounds a bit like mildly dopey humans. The other species
has pulled back into a city, hidden away in anti-radiation armour, bitter
over the war. Despite the better judgement of Ian, Barbara, and Susan, the
1st Doctor will get them stuck between the two forces.
Mon 10:45AM-1:35PM BST "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth" movie
Dalek Day. The 1st Doctor finally gets Ian and Barbara back to London. But
the city is deserted and devastated. The Daleks have taken control of all
Earth. As humanity faces its possible twilight, the TARDIS crew joins the
remnants in a last ditch battle for survival.
Mon 1:35-3:25PM BST "The Day Of The Daleks" movie
Dalek Day. The 3rd Doctor's exile on 20th Century Earth is interrupted by
rebels from the future, trying to justify assassination attempts with
stories of a world under alien control. It seems the Daleks have changed
history. The Doctor has to put history back on its original course.
Mon 3:25-6:05PM BST "Planet Of The Daleks" movie
Dalek Day. Wounded and ill after the events of Frontier In Space, the 3rd
Doctor convinces the Time Lords to send the TARDIS in pursuit of the Daleks.
On a jungle world, Thals hunt the Daleks, unaware of the Dalek plans for
invasion. Part 3 is in black & white.
Mon 6:05-8PM BST "Death To The Daleks" movie
Dalek Day concludes. The 3rd Doctor and Sarah find their vacation
interrupted by a power drain on the TARDIS. Also affected - a human ship and
a Dalek ship, both in search of the same cure for a rare disease. The Doctor
and the Daleks may have found a force more powerful than they are - a
hyperintelligent City.

regeneration, the new 8th Doctor (Paul McGann) must save the world from the

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - May 7, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 19
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Doctor Who joins the world of talk radio this week. Joey Reynolds has
started a new weekly online radio show, this time exclusively focused on
Doctor Who. Titled "American Who", it will be released on the internet every
week or two in MP3 format. The show starts with a news roundup, then goes
into interviews. The pilot show (online now) features an interview with John
Nathan-Turner from 1993 and a chat with Benjamin Elliott regarding the
Daleks. The website is http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/who . The
link to the pilot is at
http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/who/5503.mp3 .

May 1, 2003 was the date by which non-commercial TV stations in the US were
supposed to begin transmitting in digital in addition to their analog
broadcasts. Like the commercial stations last year, many of them got
extensions, but the transition is beginning to happen. KBTC-DT 27 Tacoma, WA
and KUES-DT 19 Richfield, UT have apparently gone on the air in the last
week, bringing Doctor Who in digital without ghosts. In the case of KUES,
they would have had to turn off the analog signal, which was also on 19.
KUES was more of a repeater for KUED 7, so hopefully people without digital
TV in the Richfield area can still get KUED 7.

Maryland Public TV surprised viewers last weekend. On what was going to be
the first non-Who weekend in 5 years, they suddenly scheduled Ressurrection
Of The Daleks to air late Saturday May 3 starting at 12:57AM. It was not on
their online schedule first thing Saturday morning, but it was there
Saturday evening. The story did air.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

It is 7 years to the day since the FOX premiere of "Doctor Who", a 1996 TV
Movie intended to relaunch the series. Some Canadian stations aired the
movie on May 12 and May 13, while the UK premiere was not till 27 May. While
it did not result in a new Doctor Who TV series, it did introduce Paul
McGann to us as the 8th Doctor, a role he has played in various audio
productions since then, including the current Shada remake. The 8th Doctor
has also featured in novels and comics.

Shada, BTW, continues with new episodes on Fridays. Go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ and click on the Shada pages to listen
to current and earlier episodes in RealPlayer format.

Fans of the 1996 TV Movie in South Africa can see it twice next week on the
SA Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ . Wednesday 21 May at 8PM and
Saturday 24 May at 6:35PM. It will also air in the US on the US Sci-Fi
Channel http://www.scifi.com/ late Sunday June 15 at 1AM EDT Eastern Feed
(1AM PDT Western Feed).

UK Gold's Second Dalek Day is coming up on 26 May (a Bank Holiday). Here's
the schedule:
UK Gold  UK Gold 2   Story

12:35PM  8:45PM       Destiny Of The Daleks

WYBE 35 (WYBE-DT 34-1) Philadelphia, PA http://www.wybe.org/ has a Doctor
Who pledge drive this weekend. 4 hours of Who. Hopefully WYBE will not do
with Doctor Who what they have been doing with other shows this week - they
have been running a scroll during the programs. Running scrolls were bad on
the cable news networks. They were worse on local news. We DON'T need them
on regular programming - not even in pledge week. That having been said, I
hope it's a very successful pledge drive for the Doctor on WYBE. It's always
nice when the Doc returns to Prime Time TV.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

RADIO/INTERNET:

BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/
"Shada" - new 6 episode version of Douglas Adams' TV story left unfinished
in 1979. Now an audio story with illustrations. Stars Paul McGann as the
Doctor, Lalla Ward as Romana, and John Leeson as K9.
Fri 16 May - Episode 3 premieres. Episodes will premiere on Fridays. Listen
to the high quality audio if your internet connection is fast enough to
handle it - it sounds much better. The medium quality audio sounds fine, and
if you have a dial up connection (like most people) the medium quality audio
is likely the best you can get to work, but if you can listen on a computer
with a high quality connection you will have a much better time.

E-mail spam. A bot materializes in the TARDIS and keeps badgering them to
let it talk about the Psychic Circus. I guess the Doctor needs a better spam
blocker, or possibly some good anti-virus protection. Certainly all of us
who get lots of annoying and offensive spam can feel for the Doctor and Ace
in this bit.

thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

The second of the two UK Gold Dalek Days airs this Bank Holiday Monday (26
May) in the UK. This time the stories guest starring Davros air.

South African Doctor Who fans get at least one more chance to see the 1996
Doctor Who TV Movie on Saturday 24 May at 6:35PM. Technical problems with my
ISP kept this column from going out on time, so hopefully you remembered
earlier columns and saw the movie when it aired yesterday, 21 May.

Those of us in the US who stay up late or know how to set VCRs - the 1996
Doctor Who TV Movie is airing here on the US Sci-Fi Channel late Sunday June
15th at 1AM EDT East Feed / 1AM PDT West Feed.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

The TARDIS plops the 4th Doctor and Sarah down on a planet at the far end of

The Daleks engage in a gambit to rescue Davros from human custody, in a bid

Time approximate after Independent Eye. The Doctor's poison-induced

together so his first adventure won't be his last. I've never been a fan or
seen the point to the main plot in this story (the twins), but think of it
like Star Trek: The Next Generation, where the focus is on the lead
characters instead of the actual plot. In this case, if you focus on that,
it works quite well. Better than it frequently worked on Star Trek: The Next
Generation.

your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

TELE 5 ran 26 Tom Baker episodes last year, and has been rerunning them on
weekdays for the last few weeks. Their website is of little use in
determining which stories are airing, and the episode order was largely
random, so seeing part 4 of, say, The Brain Of Morbius, would give you no
clue as to what the next story would be.

favorite species.

In the distant future, a scientific expedition is nearly wiped out
discovering a new form of energy. This is the story of the rescue committee

Thu "Pyramids Of Mars" pts 3+4 of 4
I was at a Doctor Who meeting just this week and we discussed a scenario
much like this one (a different Who story). If you think your brother is an
evil madman who must be locked away forever, and assuming that you do not
intend to kill him to ensure he remains gone, why bother providing him a
means to escape? If you provide an escape route, someday he will find a way
to use it. Perhaps you could put a killer booby trap in the escape mechanism
as a cruel joke of false hope. But an escape route? I can only conclude that
the folks who locked Sutekh away are just as evil as Sutekh is. Certainly
just as sadistic. And their calculated move gives Sutekh the chance to
escape in 1911 and endanger the Earth.
Fri "The Android Invasion" pts 1+2 of 4
What happened to the people of Earth? Why are the trees made of fake wood?
And when is a suicide not a suicide?

sicophants, hoping to relaunch the only civilization stupid enough to use
Time Lord technology to wipe themselves out of existence.

This is an epic tale of love and betrayal. Death and hope. Lead and jelly
babies. The 4th Doctor's wildest plan yet is executed as he becomes
President of Gallifrey. It's one Presidency the planet will never forget.
Mon "The Android Invasion" pts 3+4 of 4
The truth revealed, the 4th Doctor and Sarah race to warn humanity of

Sat 7-10PM PDT "The Three Doctors" all 4 eps
Pledge special. A mysterious force operating within a black hole attacks the
3rd Doctor and endangers the Time Lords' home planet. The solution - send
the 2nd Doctor forward in time to meet himself and provide assistance. When
that doesn't work either, it's time to send in the 1st Doctor. With three
versions of the Doctor at work, it can only mean one thing. The universes
are doomed.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - June 18, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 25
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

NHPTV New Hampshire http://www.nhptv.org/ got its 3rd and final digital
channel (WEKW-DT 49) on the air on June 1, 2003. They are not simulcasting
the analog lineup on their digital frequencies at this time, so this does
not change the number of places where you can see Doctor Who yet.

DirecTV http://www.directv.com/ subscribers in the Des Moines, IA viewing
area can now opt to purchase a package of local TV channels including KDIN
11 Des Moines, the Iowa Public TV station. Dish Network
http://www.dishnetwork.com/ subscribers in Des Moines have had that option
for several months. DirecTV and Dish Network are adding many local markets
this year, so if you're a subscriber to one of those systems in an area
where Doctor Who airs keep an eye on their websites to see when/if your
market is added.

UK fans who missed Channel 4's recent showing of "Daleks: Invasion Earth
2150A.D." (like this column did) may want to contact friends who get S4C out
of Wales - the movie is airing there this Sunday at 8:15AM. It will *not* be
airing on S4C Digital, only on the primary S4C, so if you have an S4C
clarify which one you have before trying to catch the movie.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy sent researches to all the planets

Ford Prefect to research the Earth, they had sent a psychotic perfectionist
with a bad temper and a fervent desire for everybody to just stand still
until he finished his research. This is the story of Light - researcher,
super-powerful, and mad as a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster which has just
discovered it'll be drunk by a Drashig, who won't feel any ill-effects at

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - June 25, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 26
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Real Time - the 6th Doctor audio story which was featured on the BBCi
website last year - is now back online again. Go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ , the same place you go to hear Shada.
Like its original run last year, Real Time is available with illustrations
by the same artist who illustrated Shada. It is unknown how long the six 10
minute episodes will be online, or indeed how long Shada will remain online.

New Hampshire Public TV http://www.nhptv.org/ has turned on its final
digital transmitter (WEKW-DT 49 Keene, NH). Their digital channels have also
begun a simulcast of their analog channel on subchannel 2, so their
programming is available in digital virtually statewide. However, the
simulcast currently runs from 10:30AM to 10:30PM weekdays, 10AM to 10PM
weekends, so it does not currently include Doctor Who. Still, it is another
step to being able to see Doctor Who on the digital frequencies of the dial.

New Hampshire Public TV and WCNY 24 Syracuse, NY http://www.wcny.org/ seem
to be shuffling between Doctors now. WCNY jumped to the 3rd Doctor last week
(according to their schedule) and is apparently starting a 5th Doctor story
next month. New Hampshire Public TV is scheduled to go the the 4th Doctor
next month, when they will have only aired 2 stories from the 7th Doctor's
era.

Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ is now available to more viewers.
DirecTV http://www.directv.com/ has launched its Des Moines locals package,
with KDIN 11 as the IPTV affiliate. They have also taken control of KQIN 36
Davenport, IA (formerly KQCT 36), a station in the Quad Cities area of Iowa
and Illinois. KQIN will shortly go from low power to full power, bringing
Iowa Public TV to some new areas and filling in gaps where previously you
had to see the network on cable or pull in KIIN 12 from another city.
KQIN-DT will be on channel 34 when it goes on the air.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - July 2, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 27
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org/ is dropping movie format on Doctor
Who stories effective August 9th. Instead of one complete story a week, MPT
will air 2 25 minute episodes. Maryland Public TV has aired Doctor Who as
movies since picking up the series in 1995, with brief experiments with
episode format in 1998 and 2000. This move will leave KERA Dallas as the
only Doctor Who affiliate in the US currently using the movie versions of
the stories. UK Gold airs its own movie compilations in the UK.

Maryland Public TV and New Hampshire Public TV http://www.nhptv.org/ are
both going to bypass the Sylvester McCoy era this time around. Maryland
Public TV will go from the conclusion of Trial Of A Time Lord on August 2nd
to An Unearthly Child on August 9th (when the episode format begins). New
Hampshire Public TV is going from Time And The Rani to Robot due to Tom
Baker's greater popularity. Robot will begin on July 19th. New Hampshire
Public TV has also gone from 2 episodes a week to 1 episode a week as a
result of budget shortages.

WCNY 24/W59AU Syracuse/Utica, NY http://www.wcny.org/ seems to have episodes
from different Doctor Who stories and at least 2 different Doctors listed
for this month.

KBDI-DT 38 Denver, CO is now on the air according to the FCC, though other
trackers of digital stations do not list it as on the air yet. There is no
information on KBDI's website yet about whether they will simulcast the
analog lineup on the digital channel.

USA - The Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ has scheduled the 1996 Doctor
Who movie to air Friday August 22nd at 2PM Eastern/Pacific as part of a
weeklong set of daytime movies.

South Africa - The SA Sci-Fi Channel http://www.uk.scifi.com/ also has the
Doctor Who movie in August - Thursday 7 August at 8PM, Friday 8 August at
5:25PM.

UK - Outpost Gallifrey reports that UK Gold will have a Doctor Who weekend
in November to celebrate Doctor Who's 40th anniversary. UK Gold previously
had 2 Dalek Days in May. Four and a half months till then, so no details
have been released yet.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 28
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Quiet week overall. That usually means that some big surprise is coming.
That or it's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and everyone is mentally on
vacation. This Week In Doctor Who will be turning 5 years old next week. The
initial column went out on July 13, 1998. What flavor cake do you get an
online column - blue ink? Black ink?

KBTC 28 Tacoma, WA http://www.kbtc.org/ is finally going to run some of the
William Hartnell stories in their regular Doctor Who rotation, having
skipped them multiple times (except as pledge specials). The Hartnell
stories begin on July 19th, when all 4 episodes of An Unearthly Child will
air at 7PM with the first 2 episodes rerunning at 12:30AM. (The 7PM showing
will be pre-empted on the 26th - hence the variation.)

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org/ will also go to the early Hartnell
stories starting August 9. In MPT's case, they will be skipping the
Sylvester McCoy stories.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

*Well, not precisely cloned, as they mention in the story. If they were
really cloned, they wouldn't be wearing any clothes, as the clothes don't
get cloned. Come to think of it, real clones would have to be germinated for
9 months, then be born as babies. It'd be many years before they grow up,
and since they would live a different life with different experiences, the
clones would almost certainly bear little resemblence to the originals. Good
thing they didn't really use clones, then.

Thanks for reading. Until next week, take care.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - July 16, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 29
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

It's been a big week for Doctor Who. First up, the late-breaking
story that you probably haven't heard yet. BBV
http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ , makers of direct to video and CD sci-fi
stories, has made a deal which will present some of their stories on
TV in the USA for the first time ever. The stories may or may not
have aired in the UK before. BBV has created the "Stranger" series
(Colin Baker as a man of mystery who explores the Supernatural), the
PROBE series (the further adventures of Elizabeth Shaw, formerly of
UNIT), the Auton trilogy, and other stories. Here is the official
press release from KTEH 54/KCAH 25 San Jose/Watsonville, CA
http://www.kteh.org/ , the station which has the deal with BBV:

"KTEH (PBS, Silicon Valley) has managed to secure the rights to two
BBV titles for a special evening in August.

"The Airzone Solution and the first installment of the Auton trilogy
will air on Sunday, 17 August, 2003 at 8:00pm and 9:30pm (PDT)
respectively. This is rather a special night for Science Fiction and
Doctor Who fans, and not just in the Silicon Valley - if the evening
performs well in attracting enough interest in terms of membership,
then KTEH will go forward with a contract to purchase nineteen of the
BBV titles with an eye on distributing them to other public
television stations in the US.

"Anyone can call in a pledge of support for the programs at 1-800-225-
5454 on the night. A selection of BBV products will be available as
thank-you gifts, as will the KTEH DVD of interviews with Patrick
Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker."

Here's hoping for the best for KTEH's experiment. It'd be fun if these
stories could find their way onto television in the US (and the rest
of the world, frankly). This Week In Doctor Who will include the
schedule info on BBV broadcasts when and where they occur.

In other news, RICHARD E. GRANT is the NINTH DOCTOR!!!

BBCi http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/  announced that Richard E.
Grant would be the new Doctor in an official story coming out for
Doctor Who's 40th anniversary just hours after last week's column
went out. "The Scream Of The Shalka" will feature the 9th Doctor
years after his regeneration, settled into his new incarnation. This
is an official story and a very official BBC accredited Doctor. SFX
magazine has a description of the 9th Doctor as "impatient, a bit
angry with humans, but caring and passionate, bitingly witty,
vulnerable, brittle, and a bit of a snob". His new companion will be
called Alison Cheneym (Sophie Okoendo), a companion in the same
sense as Grace Holloway in the TV Movie and Spandrell in The Deadly
Assassin. In a first for Doctor Who, the story will be fully animated
to DVD quality standards, with animation done by the Cosgrove Hall
company (Dangermouse, Count Duckula). Paul Cornell wrote the story
for BBCi. As of this time, it will air as a webcast on BBCi's Doctor
Who website. If the reaction is good, there could be more. Paul
Cornell describes the story as a beginning, not an end. Lots of
details at the BBC website, Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com/ , and Richard E. Grant's website
http://www.richard-e-grant.com/ . You may remember Mr. Grant's
performace as the 10th Doctor (lick the mirror handsome) in the
charity special The Curse Of Fatal Death, which is not considered
official.

American Who http://www.americanwho.net/ will feature an interview
with Paul Cornell in this week's edition answering questions
about "The Scream Of The Shalka". Direct link at
http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/who/71503.mp3 .

UK Gold http://www.ukgold.tv/ has a poll on their website to help
determine which stories will air during their 2 day 40th anniversary
Who marathon on 22+23 November. If you want to vote, and you have
software blocking pop up ads on your computer, you will need to
disable it long enough for the poll to appear.

And a happy anniversary to Doctor Who fandom in Australia. Doctor Who
premiered in Australia on 16 July 1965.

On Monday July 13, 1998, This Week In Doctor Who published its first
edition to the rec.arts.drwho newsgroup on Usenet. I thought that
Doctor Who fans might like to know which stations were airing Who
stories and what's been broadcast. And I'd been searching for
something like it online for 2 years, so I decided to take a stab
myself. The inspiration came while watching Maryland Public TV airing
An Unearthly Child in episode format, which appropriately enough they
are doing again next month. It had two immediate reactions - high
praise that someone was trying to gather all this information, and
boy had I made a lot of mistakes with that first edition! Within a
week the column was being carried on Siobahn Morgan's Nitro-9
website http://nitro9.earth.uni.edu/doctor/homepage.html (perhaps the
oldest and most loved Doctor Who site on the web), Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com/ , and the Alliance Newsletter, which
galvanized online fandom in the late 1990s. And it took off from
there. The Yahoo Group many of you get This Week from today
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/ didn't begin till
April of 2001, when the column was close to 3 years old. Longtime
readers have seen the column improve and grow over time, have seen
the moods shift from optimistic to neutral to pessimistic and back
again over the years. Hopefully you had a good time.

As Doctor Who's 40th anniversary approaches, This Week In Doctor Who
has no plans to go away. I think the 40th anniversary will be bigger
than the 35th anniversary of the series. Let's find out.

And lest I forget the other sites who graciously host this column:
http://www.wolvesoffenric.freeserve.co.uk/ - UK based site
http://www.varos.net/drwho/ - your guide to Australian fandom, and
the best resource when Doctor Who returns to Australian TV (I'm
certain it will - eventually)

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

In other news, RICHARD E. GRANT is the NINTH DOCTOR!!!

BBCi http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/  announced that Richard E. Grant
would be the new Doctor in an official story coming out for Doctor Who's
40th anniversary just hours after last week's column went out. "The Scream
Of The Shalka" will feature the 9th Doctor years after his regeneration,
settled into his new incarnation. This is an official story and a very

http://www.gallifreyone.com/ , and Richard E. Grant's website
http://www.richard-e-grant.com/ . You may remember Mr. Grant's performace as
the 10th Doctor (lick the mirror handsome) in the charity special The Curse
Of Fatal Death, which is not considered official.

American Who http://www.americanwho.net/ will feature an interview with Paul
Cornell in this week's edition answering questions about "The Scream Of The
Shalka". Direct link at
http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/who/71503.mp3 .

UK Gold http://www.ukgold.tv/ has a poll on their website to help determine
which stories will air during their 2 day 40th anniversary Who marathon on
22+23 November. If you want to vote, and you have software blocking pop up
ads on your computer, you will need to disable it long enough for the poll
to appear.

And a happy anniversary to Doctor Who fandom in Australia. Doctor Who
premiered in Australia on 16 July 1965.

On Monday July 13, 1998, This Week In Doctor Who published its first edition
to the rec.arts.drwho newsgroup on Usenet. I thought that Doctor Who fans
might like to know which stations were airing Who stories and what's been
broadcast. And I'd been searching for something like it online for 2 years,
so I decided to take a stab myself. The inspiration came while watching
Maryland Public TV airing An Unearthly Child in episode format, which
appropriately enough they are doing again next month. It had two immediate
reactions - high praise that someone was trying to gather all this
information, and boy had I made a lot of mistakes with that first edition!
Within a week the column was being carried on Siobahn Morgan's Nitro-9
website http://nitro9.earth.uni.edu/doctor/homepage.html (perhaps the oldest
and most loved Doctor Who site on the web), Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com/ , and the Alliance Newsletter, which galvanized
online fandom in the late 1990s. And it took off from there. The Yahoo Group
many of you get This Week from today
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/ didn't begin till April
of 2001, when the column was close to 3 years old. Longtime readers have
seen the column improve and grow over time, have seen the moods shift from
optimistic to neutral to pessimistic and back again over the years.
Hopefully you had a good time.

As Doctor Who's 40th anniversary approaches, This Week In Doctor Who has no
plans to go away. I think the 40th anniversary will be bigger than the 35th
anniversary of the series. Let's find out.

And lest I forget the other sites who graciously host this column:
http://www.wolvesoffenric.freeserve.co.uk/ - UK based site
http://www.varos.net/drwho/ - your guide to Australian fandom, and the best
resource when Doctor Who returns to Australian TV (I'm certain it will -
eventually)

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late changes
to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of synch with what
your local station is actually airing, let me know ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - July 30, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 31
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

As of July 30, it is 18 days until "The Airzone Solution" and "Auton"
have their US broadcast premieres on KTEH 54 San Jose/KCAH 25
Watsonville, CA http://www.kteh.org/ . If they pledge well, KTEH has
the option to air the BBV videos and sell them to other public TV
stations. BBV's website is http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ .

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

The BBC Radio 4 Documentary "My Life As A Dalek" reran on Tuesday 29
July at 11:30PM BST, which I found out too late to get into last
week's TWIDW. However, Radio 4 is archiving it online until Tuesday 5
August at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/rams/dalek.ram , so you
can still listen. Mark Gatiss produced this special to commemorate 40
years of the Daleks.

August sees the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie air again in South Africa
and the United States. Sci-Fi Channel SA http://www.uk.scifi.com/
will air "Doctor Who" from 8 to 9:25PM on Thursday 7 August and 5:25
to 7PM on Friday 8 August. The US Sci-Fi Channel will air the film
from 2 to 4PM Eastern Time (adjust for local time and feed) on Friday
August 22.

Maryland Public TV sees the end of an era this Saturday night -
again. This Saturday sees the final Doctor Who story scheduled to air
in movie format (the conclusion to The Trial Of A Time Lord).
Maryland Public TV has aired Doctor Who in movie format since they
picked up the series in 1985, except for brief experiments in 1998
and 2000 - an 18 year run. Now they will air the series in episode
format (2 episodes a week), starting with the William Hartnell
episodes. Time will tell if this is a permanent change, or if they
will return to airing in movie format in a few months. At the moment,
this leaves KERA 13 in Dallas, Texas as the only station in the US
still airing Doctor Who in movie format.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - August 6, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 32
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Who news tends to come out on Wednesday after this column comes out
for some reason. It happened again last week.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/drwho/2003/07/30/6058.shtml 3 minutes, 32
seconds of film footage related to the lost Troughton story Fury From
The Deep was discovered in a repository for discarded film. It is
16mm mute film footage related to the attack of the weed creature in
episode 6. The news articles seem to indicate that the footage is
mostly alternate takes, material that wasn't used in the final cut of
the story. Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team indicates that the
footage will find its way onto the next Troughton story to reach DVD,
which is not as some fans assume a promise that a Troughton story
will be released in the UK in 2004, merely a promise that whenever
the next Troughton DVD comes out the Fury footage will be on it.

Autralian fans can see Doctor Who on the ABC Network
http://www.abc.net.au/ starting Monday 15 September. Doctor Who will
air 4 days a week in the traditional Australian 6PM timeslot just
before the news. This is the first time that Doctor Who (bar the TV
movie) has aired on free TV in Australia since March 1994. ABC is
planning to begin with the Hartnell stories and claims that they will
air the entire series. Unlike the broadcasts on UKTV since 1996,
these showings will be commercial free. Due to the timeslot, some
fans wonder if ABC will edit episodes for content reasons.

UK Gold is ramping up its broadcasts of Doctor Who. Starting Monday
11 August, 2 Tom Baker episodes will air weekdays at 6PM BST on the
primary UK Gold channel. UK Gold +1 will encore the episodes at 7PM.
Also starting Saturday 16 August, 2 Jon Pertwee episodes will air
Saturdays at 5PM BST on the primary UK Gold Channel, 6PM on UK Gold
+1, and 3AM on UK Gold 2. The 2 episodes will be presented as one
episode, cutting out the credits between them. The movie format
stories currently airing on Saturday and Sunday mornings (with
slightly more erratic late night showings) will continue
uninterrupted.

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org/ has done an about face on its
Doctor Who plans. MPT was planning to skip the Sylvester McCoy era
and go to the William Hartnell stories. The Hartnell stories were to
be presented in episode format, forsaking MPT's tradition of airing
the movie versions of stories. Over the weekend, readers of the
Washington Post noticed that MPT had erroneously sent out info for 2
episodes of The Sea Devils, a 3rd Doctor story. Meanwhile, on MPT's
website, the Hartnell stories had been replaced by the Sylvester
McCoy stories which logic indicates should have been scheduled in the
first place. The McCoy stories will be airing in movie format. Based
on MPT's new listed schedule and the fact that it hasn't pre-empted
Doctor Who since 1998, the Hartnell stories should theoretically now
begin on November 1.

As of August 6, it is 11 days until "The Airzone Solution"
and "Auton" have their US broadcast premieres on KTEH 54 San
Jose/KCAH 25 Watsonville, CA http://www.kteh.org/ . If they pledge
well, KTEH has the option to air most of the BBV videos and sell them
to other public TV stations. BBV's website is
http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ .

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Dish Network subscribers in the Philadelphia area who get local
channels through them can expect to be trading in satellite dishes
soon. The non-major network locals (including WYBE 35) have required
a special dish to view them at 129 degrees in the sky. Now they are
being mirrored on the more standard 61.5 degree dish position, where
new subscribers in Philly will be directed to get them. It will still
require a second dish to see the Philly locals, but the dish will be
able to access whatever services you subscribe to that are available
at 61.5 degrees.

TELE 5 in Poland http://www.tele5.pl/ has discontinued its Doctor Who
run again. They ran a random 26 episodes from the Tom Baker era.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Thurday 7 August 8 to 9:25PM - SA Sci-Fi Channel
Friday 8 August 5:25 to 7PM - SA Sci-Fi Channel
Friday 22 August 2 to 4PM - US Sci-Fi Channel
Wednesday 10 September 8 to 9:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Sunday 14 September 2 to 3:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Monday 15 September 11AM to 12:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - August 13, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 33
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

This is the week that the BBV http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ stories
have their US broadcast premiere. The Airzone Solution and Auton will
air on KTEH 54 San Jose, CA http://www.kteh.org/
http://www.dvillage.org/ on Sunday August 17 from 8 to 11PM PDT, with
a rerun on Friday August 22 from 11:30PM to 2:30AM PDT as part of
KTEH's pledge programming. They are accepting pledges from outside
the San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland/Watsonville/Monterey area if
people want to support their decision to import the BBV stories - the
phone numbers are in KTEH's regular section of the column further
down. TV Guide was erroneously listing the evening as just "pledge
programming". This has been corrected in their online version.

If the pledge night is successful, KTEH will be syndicating these and
most of the other BBV stories to any public TV stations that express
interest. Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ has announced in the
last week that they have struck a special deal to air The Airzone
Solution and Auton on Saturday September 27 from 9 to 11:30PM.

BBV (Bill & Ben Video) http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ is an independent
production company in the UK which has produced sci-fi video and
audio stories for over a decade. The stories typically star actors
from Doctor Who, characters from Doctor Who, or both. The stories run
from 30 to 90 minutes each, and vary from drama to comedy, from PG to
18 certificate in the UK. A few of their stories have had limited
cable exposure in Europe, but until now they have been largely seen
as direct to video productions, with little mainstream exposure. It
will be interesting to see if they succeed on TV.

KTEH returned to Dish Network in the last week at its old location
(54 new receivers, 8234 old receivers), so Bay Area subscribers to
Dish with the locals package can once again see KTEH in this manner.
KTEH is also on DirecTV's San Francisco locals package at 54 on new
receivers and 903 on old receivers, while their repeater KCAH 25 is
on the Monterey Dish Network locals at 25 on new reeivers and 9190 on
old receivers. DirecTV doesn't offer local channels to the Monterey
area yet, so KCAH viewers with DirecTV who want to see the BBV
programs will have to watch over the air or by cable.

ABC Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv/ has confirmed that they have
ordered the complete Doctor Who series, and seriously intend to air
all the episodes. The moratorium of Dalek and Terry Nation stories
does not affect the run on ABC (for reasons that are not being
given). Doctor Who will air on ABC at 6PM weeknights (except Fridays)
starting Monday 15 September, starting with An Unearthly Child. Jason
Fraser of the Varos website http://www.varos.net/ will be staying on
top of which episodes are airing on which nights as he did when UKTV
aired the series. Jason may have to work harder this time - Sue
Cowley, the Catalogue Manager for TV Sales at BBC Worldwide, noted
Saturday 9 August on the Restoration Team Forum
http://www.rtforum.co.uk/ that ABC had ordered some "orphaned"
episodes to air as part of their initial package of stories, though
she was not at liberty to say which orphaned episodes would air.

The moratorium of Daleks and Terry Nation *did* affect KERA 13
Dallas, TX http://www.kera.org/ , which had Resurrection Of The
Daleks scheduled for last week in all print and online media, only to
run Planet Of Fire instead. I did not think to suggest that KERA
might take that action as other stations that have scheduled Dalek
stories in recent months have aired them. The Caves Of Androzani will
air on Saturday August 23 at 10PM, continuing KERA's interesting
pattern of airing Doctor Who late on Fridays most weeks but Saturdays
when people are still awake during pledge season.

KERA has also done something that may or may not affect Doctor Who in
the future. KERA 13 has sold KDTN 2 Denton, TX to Community
Television Educators, who will move Daystar's programming from KMPX
29 to channel 2. KERA will therefore have 1 primary channel instead
of 2. It is too soon to know what consequences that will have to
programming. KERA will still have the right to air programming on the
digital subchannels of KDTN-DT when it goes online. Doctor Who has
not aired on KDTN during KERA's current run of the series.

BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ is making schedule changes on 1
September, and Doctor Who fans will have to work even harder to be
awake when the show is on. The new time slots:
Early showing - 1AM EDT, Midnight CDT, 11PM MDT, 10PM PDT, 2AM ADT,
2:30AM Newfoundland
Late showing - 3:30AM EDT, 2:30AM CDT, 1:30AM MDT, 12:30AM PDT,
4:30AM ADT, 5AM Newfoundland
Weekdays will still be 2 episodes a day, weekends will be complete
stories. Start times will now be the same 7 days a week.

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Friday 22 August 2 to 4PM - US Sci-Fi Channel
Wednesday 10 September 8 to 9:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Sunday 14 September 2 to 3:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Monday 15 September 11AM to 12:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

Searching through the archives of www.avsforums.com , it turns out
that Maryland Public TV began simulcasting its analog programming on
one of WMPT-DT 42 Annapolis' subchannels several months ago. Also,
WMPB-DT 29 Baltimore has been testing for the last couple of months
and seems to be on the air full time, including a subchannel airing
the analog lineup. WFPT-DT 28 is currently scheduled to go on the air
September 15, 2003. I will be keeping an eye on the reports from the
AVS people to try to keep the digital listings more up to date. The
digital US channel information will also be listed differently from
now on in an attempt to make them more usable to people with access
to over the air digital TV. If anyone here has digital TV, let me
know if the listing info is better for you now.

UK Gold http://www.ukgold.tv/ has been annoying viewers lately with
frequent animated logos appearing on the screen advertising upcoming
shows. If you have both UK Gold and UK Gold +1, you might want to try
watching Doctor Who on UK Gold +1, where the animated logos have not
been appearing so far.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - August 20, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 34
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

On August 17, 2003, KTEH 54 San Jose, CA/KCAH 25 Watsonville, CA
http://www.kteh.org/ presented the US premiere of the BBV
http://www.bbvonline.co.uk/ sci-fi stories The Airzone Solution &
Auton. If KTEH raises enough money between that broadcast and an
encore August 22nd at 11:30PM, they plan to enter into a contract to
be the US distributor of the BBV stories, offering them to all
interested public TV stations. Following the broadcast on Sunday, Ken
Patterson of KTEH sent this notice out to KTEH's sci-fi mailing list
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kteh-sci-fi/ :

"Not a complete dissappointment, but not as strong as we hoped. We
made about 80% of our target. If we can do well on the Friday repeat
we might be able to pull this one off.

"So... If you were watching Stephen King, Charmed or that documentary
on Nefertitti instead then make sure you call in on Friday. AirZone
starts at 11:30pm (right after Kavanagh QC) with Auton at 1:00am.

"This isn't just a vote of confidence for the BBV package.  This is a
vote of confidence for Sci-Fi programming on KTEH in general.  We
desparately need to get through our current fiscal year (which ends
in September) If we can't do that, then cuts in programming will
occurr (which I don't like at all...) and the non PBS fare is going
to be the first to go.

"I really would like to see the BBV deal happen.  It's the shot in
the arm Sci-FI night needs to get going again.  If you have friends
and family who also like Sci-Fi on KTEH, but aren't on this list -
let them know about the repeat airing on Friday.

"Well, enough of the pitching for one night... Time to go home, get
some sleep and come to work tomorrow morning. BCNU Ken Patterson
www.dvillage.org "

If you want to pledge to KTEH, the phone number for the August 22nd
repeat, the best times to call, and the pledge items are all noted
under KTEH's listing at the end of the column.

Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ purchased the rights to air The
Airzone Solution and Auton separately from all this for a pledge
night on September 27 from 9 to 11:30PM.

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Friday 22 August 2 to 4PM - US Sci-Fi Channel
Wednesday 10 September 8 to 9:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Sunday 14 September 2 to 3:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Monday 15 September 11AM to 12:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

Fans of Joey Reynolds (aka Joey Donovan) and his Sci-Fi Overdrive
show (with periodic inclusions of American Who material) have another
station to listen to his show on. WPLC AM1050 Silver Spring, MD
(Washington, DC) is now a 24 hour affiliate of the Business Talk
Radio network. Warning - their night power is currently just 44
watts, so most of the DC area (even the sections that get WPLC in the
daytime) will not be able to tune into Joey's show just yet.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

Vol 6, No 35
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Brief-ish column today before the wackiness of an autumn with Doctor
Who's 40th anniversary and the 9th Doctor.

KTEH 54 San Jose, CA has aired The Airzone Solution and Auton, the 2
advertised BBV stories. They were noted here in the column for over a
month, so if you missed them, you're out of luck.

UNLESS, you can get to Iowa. Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ will
air Airzone & Auton to help celebrate Doctor Who's 40th Anniversary.
The special prime-time broadcast of the two stories is Saturday
September 27 at 9PM.

KERA 13 Dallas, TX - what to do with you? First you list Resurrection
Of The Daleks to air and pull it at the last minute after the column
goes out. Then you schedule a pledge night for The Caves Of Androzani
and pull it at the last moment too. The website was not updated as of
this writing, but TVGuide and Zap2it now list Caves in the regular
timeslot this week with no room for a pledge drive.

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Wednesday 10 September 8 to 9:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Sunday 14 September 2 to 3:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Monday 15 September 11AM to 12:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - September 3, 2003
by Benjamin F. Elliott
Vol 6, No 36
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho
thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

As Doctor Who's 40th anniversary nears, we'll try to have the rundown
on special programming that various stations may do to celebrate.

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Hot on the heels of KTEH's http://www.kteh.org/ presentation of BBV
stories, Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ will be the 2nd US
broadcaster to present BBV to the USA as a Doctor Who Celebration.
The Airzone Solution (1993 eco-thriller starring Jon Pertwee, Peter
Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy) and Auton (1997 drama
starring the Autons & UNIT) will air on Saturday September 27 at 9PM
CDT for everyone who gets Iowa Public TV. According to the Sci-Fi
Saturday Website http://www.sffn.com/ , IPTV is looking for phone
volunteers for that night from 9PM to Midnight. Contact Darla
Hassebroek @ Friends Of IPTV 1-515-242-5406 or darla@... and try
to mention Airzone Solution & Auton.

UK Gold http://www.ukgold.tv/ announced the results of their first
round of voting for the Doctor Who @ 40 weekend of 22 and 23
November, and the second round of voting continues on their website.
The finalist stories for each Doctor to choose from:
1st - An Unearthly Child, The Time Meddler, The War Machines
2nd - The Tomb Of The Cybermen, The Mind Robber, The War Games
3rd - Inferno, The Daemons, The Sea Devils
4th - Robot, Pyramids Of Mars, City Of Death
5th - Earthshock, Mawdryn Undead, The Caves Of Androzani
6th - Attack Of The Cybermen, The Mark Of The Rani, The Two Doctors
7th - Dragonfire, Silver Nemesis, The Curse Of Fenric
UK Gold will have original material including interviews with cast
members & fans, along with behind the scenes footage. The Curse Of
Fatal Death, The Three Doctors, and The Five Doctors will definitely
air.

Two additional channels in Australia are getting on the 40th
anniversary bandwagon. Encore (pay movie channel) will present the
1996 Doctor Who TV Movie commercial free on 10 September and 14
September). UKTV (which ran Doctor Who from 1996 to 2002) will have a
special Doctor Who day (weekend?) on 11 October with a best of Who
marathon (stories in the Australian section below). UKTV also wants
viewers to tune in at 8:30PM AEDT on Sunday 23 November for something
not revealed as of this time. Encore and UKTV air programming at the
same time nationwide if you have cable, but adjust for time zone
differences on satellite. ABC Australia, of course, begins a run of
Doctor Who stories on Monday 15 September at 6PM, 4 days a week, and
its programming will air at the same time in all time zones
regardless of how you watch it.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Wednesday 10 September 5:20PM Encore Australia
Wednesday 10 September 8 to 9:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Sunday 14 September 7:50AM Encore Australia
Sunday 14 September 2 to 3:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Monday 15 September 11AM to 12:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel
Late Wednesday October 8 3AM EDT US Sci-Fi Channel
Saturday 11 October ? UKTV Australia
Saturday 25 October Noon to 1:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

the US, following KTEH's http://www.kteh.org/ premiere in August. At
last word IPTV was still looking for volunteers to man the phones
that evening. The contact is Darla Hassebroek at 1-515-242-5406 or

1st - An Unearthly Child, The Time Meddler, The War Machines
2nd - The Tomb Of The Cybermen, The Mind Robber, The War Games
3rd - Inferno, The Daemons, The Sea Devils
4th - Robot, Pyramids Of Mars, City Of Death
5th - Earthshock, Mawdryn Undead, The Caves Of Androzani

interviews with cast members & fans, behind the scenes footage).

Depending on where you read this column last week, you may have
encountered an error. I accidentally listed the 1996 Doctor Who movie
as airing on the Encore movie channel in Australia. Jason Fraser of
http://www.varos.net/ managed to get this corrected in some areas -
Encore is airing the 1996 Peter Cushing film Daleks: Invasion Earth
2150A.D.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

thisweekindoctorwho-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

The latest rundown of upcoming 40th anniversary Doctor Who broadcasts.

Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ is just 10 days away from its BBV
night, titled "Doctor Who Celebration". The Airzone Solution and
Auton will get their Iowa premiere on this pledge night, tentatively
running from 9 to 11:30PM.

Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, 10th Doctor in The Curse Of Fatal
Death) will be the BBC's official Ninth Doctor in a fully animated
webcast on BBCi's website in November, the month of Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.  Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ for more
details.

Upcoming airings of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie:
Late Wednesday October 8 3AM EDT US Sci-Fi Channel
Saturday 11 October (part of marathon) UKTV Australia
Saturday 25 October Noon to 1:35PM UK Sci-Fi Channel

UK Gold http://www.ukgold.tv/ has the longest known Doctor Who event
of the year this fall - Doctor Who @ 40 - 22 and 23 November. The
Curse Of Fatal Death, The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, and
original material will air. The poll to choose the other stories
continues on their website. Poll options:
1st - An Unearthly Child, The Time Meddler, The War Machines
2nd - The Tomb Of The Cybermen, The Mind Robber, The War Games
3rd - Inferno, The Daemons, The Sea Devils
4th - Robot, Pyramids Of Mars, City Of Death
5th - Earthshock, Mawdryn Undead, The Caves Of Androzani
6th - Attack Of The Cybermen, The Mark Of The Rani, The Two Doctors
7th - Dragonfire, Silver Nemesis, The Curse Of Fenric

UKTV - Doctor Who's cable home in Australia from 1996 to 2002 - will
have a marathon hosted by Katy Manning on Saturday 11 October, along
with an as yet unspecified event on Sunday 23 November at 8:30PM. For
the October marathon, the stories will be:
An Unearthly Child, The War Games, The Three Doctors, Planet Of The
Spiders, The Deadly Assassin, Logopolis, The Five Doctors, The Caves
Of Androzani, The Two Doctors, The Trial Of A Time Lord: The Ultimate
Foe, Survival, Doctor Who (1996 TV Movie).

KERA 13 http://www.kera.org/ Dallas, TX has a lot of Doctor Who fans
in its viewing audience. Well, they had a lot of Doctor Who fans.
KERA pulled the 6th Doctor stories off their schedule at the last
minute 2 weeks ago, and I missed the change in last week's column. 90
minute Mystery! episodes have been airing in Doctor Who's timeslot
(late Friday 12:30AM) all month. Last month KERA canceled a pledge
drive for The Caves Of Androzani at the last minute too. The Doctor
has been taken off the schedule for late Friday September 26 a couple
of days ago. We'll keep an eye on KERA's schedule going into October,
to see if Doctor Who returns in a new time period. Thanks to everyone
who alerted me to this situation - this is the biggest reaction I
have seen to a schedule change in the history of this column.

ABC Australia devoted their Monday evening show "New Dimensions with
George Negus" to Doctor Who and Who fandom this past Monday. There
were classic clips from the series, a Tom Baker appearance in
Australia, and more. Reaction from Australian fans online to the
special was favorable.

While I try to keep the column up to date, I do sometimes miss late
changes to schedules. If you see TWIDW's information getting out of
synch with what your local station is actually airing, let me know
ASAP.

A This Week In Doctor Who special report.

Quick updates regarding KERA 13 Dallas, TX http://www.kera.org/ and UKTV in
Australia.

According to the program director at KERA, Doctor Who will not return in
2003. There was a lack of funding and they are busy merging KDTN 2 into KERA
13 (KDTN 2 is being sold to another broadcaster). IF Doctor Who returns, it
will be 2004 at the earliest. My source got the impression that there was
not a lot of hope for that.

Jason Fraser reports that UKTV is *not* airing a Doctor Who marathon on 11
October. Rather, it is beginning a best of run, strung out over a number of
weeks. The stories and involvement of Katy Manning are correct as mentioned
previously in This Week In Doctor Who. The first broadcast will be Saturday
11 October from 8AM to 12:10PM AEST, with An Unearthly Child and the first
half of The War Games airing. The rest of the schedule is not yet known. If
more information breaks on UKTV before next week's column, look to
http://www.varos.net/ for updates.

The 40th anniversary of Doctor Who moves closer, and more TV plans
to celebrate reveal themselves.

Iowa Public TV has sent out a press release regarding their BBV
night on Saturday September 27th. It includes some new interesting
details.

"Calling All DOCTOR WHO and SCI-FI SATURDAY NIGHT fans!
"Iowa Public Television needs your help to answer phones and take
pledges during our "Doctor Who Celebration" THIS SATURDAY, September
27th from 9 p.m. to midnight. We need at least 13 more fans to come
to IPTV's studio in Johnston THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. You'll be
supporting Iowa Public Television's ability to remain one of a
handful of public broadcasters airing Doctor Who. And you'll have
the first opportunities to pledge your support and receive tickets
to IPTV's Special Event with Colin Baker. (see below) . If you're
able to help, please call Darla at 800-728-2828 as soon as possible
or email darla@...
IPTV's "Doctor Who Celebration" is part of our "September
Celebration" pledge drive, from the 25th thru the 28th. This
Saturday, the 27th we will begin pledging for "SCI-FI SATURDAY
NIGHT" earlier than ever before - 9 pm! AND, IPTV will be airing the
worldwide premiere of 2 NEW Doctor Who productions! "The Airzone
Solution", starring four of the actors who have played Doctor Who,
will be following by "Auton", a new UNIT adventure. AND we have a
Thank You Gift to offer, the likes of which we never have before:
TICKETS to a very special IPTV Event with Colin Baker, the sixth
Doctor. This special event will be Friday, December 5th, from 8-11
p.m. at the Des Moines Botanical Center. We're planning some great
activities for this event, including contests like: "The Great
Doctor Who Look-A-Like Contest", with a "Best Costume Contest", and
of course a "Know Your Who Mythology Contest". A scavenger hunt and
other fun stuff is in the planning. One ticket to the IPTV Event
with Colin Baker will be offered as a Thank You Gift when viewers
pledge their support of $100. Two event tickets will be available
for a pledge of $150.
So PLEASE help us spread the word, and COME to northwest
metropolitan Des Moines, JOHNSTON IOWA, to help Iowa Public
Television make this potentially record breaking pledge drive for
IPTV's "SCI-FI SATURDAY NIGHT" a real success. Thanks for your
consideration!

Doctor Who may be returning to New Zealand in the next few months.
Sky TV in New Zealand is launching a UKTV Channel on 1 November,
which promises to be better than the earlier UKTV they had in the
1990s. It will be airing British programming from most of the major
UK broadcasters. People who have seen the list of programs on the
docket to air at launch or down the line report that Doctor Who is
on the list. Doctor Who is currently *not* scheduled to air on this
new UKTV in November. The situation can be followed at the New
Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com .

Canadian Doctor Who fans get a 40th anniversary marathon from BBC

"The Scream Of The Shalka" - introducing Richard E. Grant as the 9th
Doctor, fully animated and serialized on BBCi
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho .

Shortly after last week's edition went to press, it was learned that
KERA 13 Dallas, TX has officially discontinued Doctor Who for the
rest of 2003, possibly beyond. Budget issues and the merger of KDTN
2 and KERA 13 into one channel are the listed reasons.

Doctor Who is missing from WSKG 46 Binghamton, NY's
http://www.wskg.com schedule for the next few weeks. Does anyone in
that portion of Southern New York/ Northern Pennsylvania know if
this is a temporary or permanent situation?

I'm evaluating the current layout of the column, so you may see a
few aspects get tweaked or moved around over the next few weeks.
Pardon any dust.
