16 days and a few hours after the BBC announced that Christopher
Eccleston was departing the role of the Doctor, they have announced
David Tennant as the new Doctor. David Tennant will assume the role
for series 2 (it is unclear which actor will be the Doctor in the
Christmas special).

The news should eventually be on the BBC Doctor Who website yet
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho . Right now Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com has a picture of Tennant, the news, and
a good biography on the actor. Here is the official BBC press
release on the news:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/04_april/
16/tennant.shtml

David Tennant is confirmed as the tenth Doctor Who, it was announced
today by Jane Tranter, BBC Controller of Drama Commissioning,
following the recommissioning of the second series.

Tennant, whose recent credits include BBC THREE's critically-
acclaimed drama series Casanova, BBC ONE's Blackpool and He Knew He
Was Right, will star alongside Billie Piper who returns as Rose
Tyler.

Julie Gardner, BBC Head of Drama, Wales says: "Christopher Eccleston
has given an exceptional performance as the ninth Doctor.

"David Tennant is a great actor who will build on the excellent work
already done by Christopher in establishing Doctor Who for a new
generation."

David Tennant says: "I am delighted, excited and honoured to be the
tenth Doctor!

"I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get
my very own TARDIS.

"Russell T Davies is one of the best writers television has ever
had, and I'm chuffed to bits to get the opportunity to work with him
again.

"I'm also really looking forward to working with Billie Piper who is
so great as Rose.

"Taking over from Chris is a daunting prospect; he has done a
fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is
a very tough act to follow."

Executive producer/writer Russell T Davies adds: "Christopher
Eccelston's wonderful Doctor has reinvented the role, so that it now
appeals to the best actors in the land.

"I'm already writing David's first new adventure on board the
TARDIS!

"Regeneration is a huge part of the programme's mythology, and I'm
delighted that new, young viewers can now have the complete Doctor
Who experience, as they witness their hero change his face!"

A new 13-part adventure and Christmas special begins filming in
Cardiff in the summer for transmission on BBC ONE.

And here's the BBC news version:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4450285.stm

Tennant to take over the Tardis

The new Doctor Who has been officially named as David Tennant, the
star of BBC period drama Casanova.
Tennant, 33, will become the 10th Time Lord when filming starts on
the new series in Cardiff this summer.

He is taking over from Christopher Eccleston, who announced he was
quitting last month after only one series as the Doctor.

Tennant, who will star alongside Billie Piper, said he
was "delighted, excited and honoured".

Other actors who had been linked with the time-travelling role
included Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Richard E Grant, David Thewlis
and Alan Davies.

"I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get
my very own Tardis," said Tennant.

"Taking over from Chris is a daunting prospect - he has done a
fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is
a very tough act to follow."

"I'm also really looking forward to working with Billie Piper who is
so great as Rose."

He also said he was "chuffed to bits" to be working again with
executive producer Russell T Davies, who also wrote Casanova.

Tennant, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has also starred in BBC shows
Blackpool and He Knew He Was Right, and the Stephen Fry movie Bright
Young Things.

He also voiced a role in the 2003 internet episode of Doctor Who,
Scream of the Shalka.

'Great actor'

Davies said he had already started writing Tennant's first adventure
on board the Tardis.

"Regeneration is a huge part of the programme's mythology, and I'm
delighted that new, young viewers can now have the complete Doctor
Who experience, as they witness their hero change his face!"

He said Christopher Eccleston has reinvented the role of Doctor Who
so that it appealed to the best actors in the land.

Julie Gardner, BBC Head of Drama, Wales added: "Christopher
Eccleston has given an exceptional performance as the ninth Doctor.

"David Tennant is a great actor who will build on the excellent work
already done by Christopher in establishing Doctor Who for a new
generation."

A new 13-part adventure and Christmas special will start filming
later in 2005.

--------------------------------
So, we have the new Doctor for 2006. And until then, we have the
unfolding adventures of the Ninth Doctor and Rose. Congratulations,
David Tennant.

At the stroke of Midnight between Friday 15 April and Saturday 16
April, the BBC announced that David Tennant would be the 10th
official TV incarnation of the Doctor and star in the role for the
2nd series (filming starts this summer, episodes air in 2006). 34
years old as of Monday the 18th, Mr. Tennant is the 3rd youngest
actor to get the role (after Peter Davison and Paul McGann). The BBC
announcements were at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/04_april/
16/tennant.shtml ,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4450285.stm ,
and http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2005/04/18/18639.shtml .
David Tennant's Internet Movie Database entry is at
http://imdb.com/name/nm0855039 . A good summary biography of his
career is in the April 15 section of the Outpost Gallifrey New
Series News Page http://www.gallifreyone.com/newstv.php . He sounds
like he really likes Doctor Who, really wanted this role, and has
been getting good reviews for his acting.

Christopher Eccleston's turn as the Doctor continues to get good
ratings on the BBC and CBC. The final ratings for The End Of The
World on the BBC show that about 600,000 people recorded it to watch
later. The Canadian airing of The End Of The World continued
performing well by CBC standards. The overnight ratings for Aliens
Of London on the BBC held well against a rally by Ant and Dec for
that show's last episode in its current series. 6.98 million
overnight for Who versus 7.12 million overnight for Ant and Dec's
finale. Final ratings will be out in 7 to 8 days, when the number of
people who recorded each show will determine the winner of the time
slot. The final numbers for The Unquiet Dead on the BBC will be
announced by the Barb http://www.barb.co.uk either today or tomorrow.

Beginning this week, the BBC One Doctor Who episodes face -
Celebrity Wrestling http://www.itv.com .

BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree has a very flexible schedule
and likes to tinker. The 3:25AM repeat of Doctor Who Confidential
lasted one week (16 April). BBC Three has scheduled a late Saturday
block of Doctor Who and Confidential for this Saturday 23 April
(12:05AM Who, 12:50AM Confidential). Based on the Radio Times
http://www.radiotimes.com these late night airings will be somewhat
permanent, as the block airs at 12:10AM and 12:55AM on 30 April.
Doctor Who programming is doing very well for BBC Three in the
ratings, so the extra series repeat isn't a surprise. It also
appears that the Sunday repeat of Confidential will only be 15
minutes long on 1 May, allowing reality show "Who Rules The Roost"
to air at 8PM.

We should know the ABC Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv premiere
date for Doctor Who very shortly. Short trailers for the series have
begun to air. The latest speculation is for Saturdays at 7:30PM
starting 21 May. Once a definitive date and time is confirmed by the
ABC, news should spread quickly.

No new broadcasters were announced within the last week. The two
places that tend to have international sales news the fastest are
the BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net .

Warning for Australian readers - above link has spoilers for Rose.

"Doctor Who (Adventures In The Human Race)" premieres at 7:30PM on
Saturday 21 May on the ABC in Australia.

This was the most speculated premiere day and time, though the
addition to the title was not expected. This is the name ABC is using
on their website for the series, though that doesn't mean that the bit
in parentheses will or will not be added to the opening credits.

ABC Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv now has Doctor Who's premiere
on its schedule for Saturday 21 May 2005 at 7:30PM. On the schedule
for 21 May and the episode description linked from that schedule the
series has the tag line "Adventures In The Human Race", indicating
that it may be labeled differently from the earlier 26 years of
Doctor Who, which air on the same station Mondays through Thursdays
at around 6PM. Episodes will air in Australia 8 weeks after their UK
premieres. The 7:30PM Saturday time slot currently features Monarch
Of The Glen series 6 (co-starring Tom Baker). Very Little Britain
(abbreviated versions of Little Britain episodes) will air at
8:15PM. 8:30PM on ABC Saturday is The Bill, a British cop show/soap
that wins its time slot.

Thomsonfly Airlines starts airing "Rose" on their flights starting
this Sunday. If you fly one of their planes, see if there's any
information on how long Rose will air, and when/if they would cycle
to later episodes. Better yet, if you work for this airline, and you
know, please e-mail!

Overnight UK ratings show that Doctor Who: World War Three won its
time slot easily, 7.26 million to 3.8 million for the premiere of
Celebrity Wrestling. Celebrity Wrestling fell noticeably from former
ITV competitor Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway. This week's
episode (Dalek) is being heavily trailed, and is expected to win in
the ratings again. I can only imagine who one of the alien species
in the episode will be.

Final numbers for the 16 April broadcast (Aliens Of London) are
expected today from Barb http://www.barb.co.uk and will reveal if
Doctor Who or the season finale of Ant and Dec won the time slot
that night. In the overnight ratings Ant and Dec had won by a slight
margin (7.12 million to 6.98 million). Video recordings will
determine who wins in the final tally.

BBC Three's http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree schedule remains somewhat
erratic. The late Saturday repeats for "Dalek" and "Doctor Who
Confidential: The Daleks" will now start at 12:15AM and 1AM
respectively. The Sunday repeat of Confidential at 7:45PM will be
abridged to 15 minutes for the premiere of Tiny Tearaways
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/tiny_tearaways/index.shtml . Tiny
Tearways is a special monthly documentary airing 7 days a week on
BBC Three. Sundays through Fridays the episodes air at 8PM with
repeats later in prime time and late night. On Saturdays the
episodes air at 8:15PM (after Doctor Who Confidential). This is
likely to affect the late Saturday repeats in May, as either the
repeats or Tiny Tearaway repeats will have to move on those nights.
The Radio Times http://www.radiotimes.com indicates "to be
announced" for most of 7 May on BBC Three.

No new networks have bought the show since last week. Any sales news
should appear at the BBC Press Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21Media
http://www.c21media.net . And I'd send out an update. And Outpost
Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com and many more Who sites would
publicize it quickly.

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org is going back to Patrick
Troughton again. After 3 weeks of Tom Baker stories from the Key To
Time season, MPT will return to Troughton with The Tomb Of The
Cybermen on Saturday May 7. A quick check of The Pirate Planet last
week showed that, instead of airing the traditional movie version,
MPT had taken a heavily edited episodic version and cut the
cliffhangers together. This would tie in to reports last year that
stations were unable to get new prints of stories - MPT was
experimenting with episodic format the last time they aired the
later Tom Baker stories, and was probably unable to obtain the movie
format prints for this abbreviated run.

BBC7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 aired the 2003 documentary "My Life
As A Dalek" several times last Sunday. It will be available through
their listen again service until Sunday 1 May. If the listen again
links in the column don't work for you for some reason go to BBC7's
website to access them directly. BBC7 continues airing the Doctor
Who radio story "The Ghosts Of N-Space".

BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com updated their FAQ a few weeks back
and I keep forgetting to get their info in here. Their current
information on Doctor Who: "We will be showing the new series of Dr
Who at some point in the future however, we do not currently hold
the rights to the series and they are unlikely to be made available
until the show has been broadcast in the UK. Therefore please keep
an eye on the website for details of possible future transmissions."

BBC Prime is available throughout Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia
as a cable network. Doctor Who is probably going to sell for more
money in each country if the local broadcasters get to air it first,
so there is little incentive to air the show on BBC Prime until they
exhaust local broadcasters who want the show.

BBC 1 16 April - Doctor Who: Aliens Of London - 7.63 million viewers

CBC Canada Ratings:
26 April - Doctor Who: Aliens Of London - 849,000 viewers. #2 in
time slot.

Doctor Who continues as a ratings juggernaut for the BBC. The final
numbers for BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone 16 April showed that
Aliens Of London pulled ahead of the season finale of Ant and Dec on
ITV http://www.itv.co.uk . The overnights for 30 April showed Dalek
beating Celebrity Wrestling by nearly 5 million viewers and getting
the highest ratings for any show on TV that night. Repeats on BBC
Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree continued performing well above
the average for that channel. 7 more weekends of joy for the BBC
before the season ends.

The 15 minute edited version of Doctor Who Confidential on Sundays
is here to stay. BBC Three wanted a shorter version so that they
could go to other programming at 8PM. The 15 minute edits will focus
on the new series, largely dropping the footage from the original
series in each episode. If you want to see all 30 minutes of
Confidential, catch one of the two Saturday airings or squint very
hard at the Realplayer version on the Doctor Who website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho .

BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Four, and BBC News 24 were seen by viewers
around the world online last weekend. Due to a technical mistake,
experimental multicast feeds of these channels (available at up to
365kbs) were online most of the weekend. Personally, I learned of
this in time to see part of "Dalek" on my own computer live with the
UK audience. The level of quality for a live online broadcast was
very impressive. Better - it was a terrific episode. Writer Rob
Shearman, director Joe Ahearne, and the cast excelled themselves.
Noticing the mistake, the feeds were taken off public view Sunday
evening UK time. It's a nice tease for the future of technology.

Canadian alert 1! Did the beginning of "World War Three" look very
strange to you last night? Like the pre-opening credits cliffhanger
resolution was missing? That's because it was missing. The CBC
omitted it (presumably by accident).

Canadian alert 2! Elections in British Columbia occur on Tuesday 17
May. The CBC station in Vancouver that serves British Columbia and
parts of the Northwest US will air election coverage that evening
instead of the scheduled Doctor Who episode (1-07 The Long Game). It
appears that there are no plans to air the episode at another time
for this part of the country. If you are in the affected part of
Canada and want to politely contact the CBC
http://www.cbc.ca/television to request that the episode airs at
some point, use the following methods. Don't bother any impolite
contacts - those would not help.

Audience Relations: 604-662-6920
Mailing Address:
CBC British Columbia
700 Hamilton Street, PO Box 4600
Vancouver, BC V6B 4A2

Hopefully the CBC will find some solution to enable everyone to see
the episode. If you have access to multiple feeds of the CBC, The
Long Game should air in the rest of the country on 17 May with no
problem.

Addendum. As of this column's publication time the CBC's TV listings
for Vancouver and the US TV Guide http://www.tvguide.com - zip code
98405 Comcast Cable CBUT 99 both show that the CBC in British
Columbia is airing regular programming on the 17th, including Doctor
Who. If those listings are to be believed, the CBC is not airing any
election coverage. Hmm.

ABC Australia http://www.abc.net.au/tv will skip the Dalek
story "Destiny Of The Daleks" in its weekday run of the series,
going to "City Of Death" on Wednesday 25 May. This is a surprise as
the ABC had previously announced a deal to air all the Dalek
installments from the Pertwee story "Death To The Daleks" onwards.

Starz http://www.starz.com and Encore http://www.encoretv.com have
redesigned their web sites in the US. Their combined movie pack no
longer references the 1996 Doctor Who film as a movie they have.
That could be by accident, or the movie could be available for
networks to buy/ignore again. It is not on the schedules of the
Starz or Encore channels for May or June.

This Week In Doctor Who Alert.

The 7 day schedule for May 21 through 27 is out!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/pdfs/tv/week21/bbctvwk21_day
s.pdf (Note: spoilers for episode and most BBC programming at that
link)

Doctor Who - The Empty Child airs from 6:25 to 7:10PM (note the time)
on BBC One on Saturday 21 May.

This is likely because BBC One has live Eurovision coverage from 8PM
to 11:20PM, and they'll want to get the full Lottery show in by 8. It
is presumably a one time only change in the BBC One broadcast time.

There is no mention of Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three, though
the TWIDW column expects the start time would move as a result of the
Doctor Who time change. BBC Three is airing additional Eurovision
coverage from 11:20PM to 12:20AM, which will affect the late night
Doctor Who and Confidential repeats there.

Tuesday 17 May:
CBC - 8PM - Doctor Who: The Long Game
Saturday 21 May:

viewers (4.7% share)
BBC 3 8 May - Doctor Who Confidential: Cut Down: The Dark Side -
327,230 average viewers (2.2% share)

UK Final Ratings:
BBC 1 23 April - Doctor Who: World War Three - 7.98 million viewers

CBC Canada Ratings:
3 May - Doctor Who: World War Three - 936,000 viewers. #2 in time
slot. Best performance since the premiere of Rose.

British Columbia Doctor Who viewers (and US viewers who get the CBC
from a British Columbia station - probably CBUT Vancouver) - take
note!!! You will not get episode 7 - The Long Game - on May 17th
like the rest of Canada. British Columbia election results will air
instead. You will get The Long Game at 5PM PDT on Saturday May 21st.

All other Canadian Provinces!!! - Doctor Who will air at its regular
time on May 17th. You only need to beware if you have access to time
shifted CBC channels - don't try to catch the show on the Pacific
Feed.

CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television has finally gotten episode 1 of
their documentary series The Planet Of The Doctor
http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor online. Expect 5 more episodes
over the next few weeks. The format is much more "retro" than the
BBC's Doctor Who Confidential. Deliberate washed out color with a
clear focus on the show's history. If episode 1 is an example, there
will be few or no clips of Doctor Who from either the old or new
series.

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone is rearranging its entire
Saturday lineup on 21 May for the annual Eurovision music
competition. Doctor Who (The Empty Child) will go out at 6:25PM so
that the Lottery show can air in full before Eurovision. This is
hoped to be the only time in this run of episodes that Doctor Who
will be forced to air at a special time. BBC Three
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree will thus air Doctor Who Confidential
at 7:20PM to keep it close to Doctor Who's broadcast time. Doctor
Who fares better than other BBC shows that weekend. Casualty gets
pre-empted. Strictly Dance Fever gets bumped to Sunday. Strictly
Come Dancing's bump will affect BBC Three's Sunday repeats - Doctor
Who (The Empty Child) airs at 7:45PM and Doctor Who Confidential:
Cut Down airs at 8:30PM.

Oh, Doctor Who Confidential: Cut Down is the correct name for the 15
minute versions of Confidential that began airing on 1 May.
Apparently the 22 May installment (the one shoved to 8:30PM) will be
the last, with the Sunday version restored to 30 minutes for the
final 4 weeks of the series.

Doctor Who won its time slot again on BBC One
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone Saturday, with roughly 7.51 million
overnight viewers versus Celebrity Wrestling's 2.56 million
overnight viewers. This was a great result for the lightly
advertised episode, as Doctor Who seems to have a large reliable
weekly audience. ITV http://www.itv.co.uk has canceled time period
competitor Celebrity Wrestling after 3 episodes and audiences
shrinking each week against the Doctor. A last Celebrity Wrestling
episode will air this weekend. The remaining 4 episodes may or may
not air somewhere in the future. Starting 21 May Doctor Who will
battle - the Star Wars movies. First up - Episode 1 - The Phantom
Menace - 5:20 to 7:10PM, 7:25PM to 8PM (news broadcast at 7:10, just
as Doctor Who ends that night).

Just 10 days till Doctor Who premieres in Australia on the ABC
http://www.abc.net.au/tv . Probably 9 days by the time Australian
readers get this column due to the time difference. Here's hoping it
succeeds for you like it has for the BBC.

No new networks have bought Doctor Who yet. Still just networks in
the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and The Netherlands.
When networks buy the show, the news will likely turn up at the BBC
Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net .

Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org recently sent a viewer a
letter regarding the current status of their Doctor Who broadcasts.
Recently MPT repeated the Troughton and (most of) the Pertwee
stories, followed by 3 stories from Tom Baker in the Key To Time
season, and now back to Troughton.

"Thank you for contacting Maryland Public Television.

"At present we'll only be airing the 30 episodes of "Dr. Who" that
we currently have in house. The 30 episodes of "Dr. Who" that MPT
has to air now are all Troughton and Pertwee.

"We apologize for the changes to the schedule and hope that you'll
bear with us and allow us some flexibility while we work towards
securing additional episodes.

"If you're a Whovian, you're probably already aware that new
episodes of Dr. Who that are currently in production.

"At this time we don't know if the BBC is going to offer us the
rights to air the new series. I'm awaiting information from the
person in programming that serves as liaison between the station and
the BBC.

"Naturally, we've been inquiring about Dr. Who, and the new
episodes, however ..we haven't reached an answer yet. In all
honesty, I don't anticipate a firm response for at least several
weeks. We've been in a holding pattern for months, unable to air any
episodes save those we had in the last package from the BBC until a
decision is made by the BBC about the program and rights. At this
point our hands are tied. Unfortunately, at this point it appears to
be a game of "wait and see".

"Here is a web link for you to read about the new Dr. Who series:

CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television viewers in British Columbia (and US
fans who get CBC from that Province) can see Doctor Who: The Long
Game this Saturday at 5PM PDT. As previously mentioned in the column
election coverage in that Province pre-empted programming in that
region. No elections this week, so Father's Day will air all through
Canada on 24 May. Part 2 of the Planet Of The Doctor documentary is
now online http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor .

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone and BBC Three
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree have disrupted schedules this week due
to the Eurovision music competition. For Doctor Who (episode 9 - The
Empty Child), this means a 6:30PM start on BBC One Saturday instead
of 7PM. It has only been given a 40 minute time slot. The episode is
41 minutes, 45 seconds long. The episode is likely to begin a little
early or run a little late. Doctor Who Confidential
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/confidential (episode 9 - FX) is
scheduled to start at 7:10PM on BBC Three. The Sunday airing of
Doctor Who on BBC Three is at 7:15PM instead of 7PM with the Sunday
Confidential repeat pre-empted.

In a touch of irony considering the early start time, The Empty
Child is creating controversy with news reports that it has been
toned down. The BBC has a news report about the matter which
clarifies that a sound effect has been altered. The article features
a couple of major spoilers for the episode, so here's the
explanation if you don't want to go there and have the story
spoiled. If you go to the link, you will see the whole article, and
will have no right to say I didn't warn you.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4557853.stm
"Horrible" Doctor Who toned down

"The next episode of Doctor Who has been toned down after producers
decided one scene was "a bit horrible".

"(Spoiler bit) ... but producers have cut out the sound of his skull
cracking. (Next paragraph also cut regarding same spoiler)

"(Phil Collinson) `The whole sound effect that went with that was a
lot more visceral. We watched it for the first time and said that
was crossing over the line because it was a bit too horrible.'

"But he said the episode, titled The Empty Child, was still the
scariest yet.

"`It was about time we did a scary one," Mr. Collinson said. `Doctor
Who is well-known for being spooky and scary.'

(Another spoiler)

"News of the episode comes days after the BBC announced the DVD of
the new series - the first since 1989 - would not be available to
children under 12 because of a scene where a Dalek (spoiler outside
UK)."

ABC http://www.abc.net.au/tv is premiering the new Doctor Who series
this Saturday at 7:30PM with episode 1 - Rose. The third country to
see the series.

ABC is also sending out a notice regarding the fact that they are
skipping "Destiny Of The Daleks" in their weekday rotation of the
earlier episodes.

"Thank you for your email regarding the Daleks in `Doctor Who'.

"The ABC was not able to access every Doctor Who episode from BBC
Worldwide. Sadly `Destiny Of The Daleks' is not available for
broadcast. Our programming department advises that at the time we
acquired the rights to repeat Doctor Who, there were legal issues
surrounding the estate of Terry Nation, Doctor Who writer and
creator of the Daleks. At this point in time the above legal issues
relating to the original Doctor Who series have not been resolved
and are unlikely to be resolved in the near future.

"The resolution of this issues that you mention, was in fact to
enable the Daleks to be featured in the new series. Episode 6 will
be broadcast as normal during Doctor Who; Adventures of the Human
Race commencing at 7:30pm this Saturday.

"Thank you for your interest in the ABC and I hope you enjoy the new
series of Doctor Who.

"Kind regards
Melanie Borg, ABC Audience and Consumer Affairs"

May 21 may also be the last day for Doctor Who in Utah. KUED 7
http://www.kued.org has put up To Be Announced labels on the
Saturday 11:30PM slot for June 11, 18, and 25 (the 11:30PM slot is
being bumped for specials on May 28 and June 4). Episode 4 of The
Visitation will air on May 21. If it's the final night, there will
probably be an on-air announcement. Doctor Who continues on MPT
Maryland http://www.mpt.org and IPTV Iowa http://www.iptv.org .

Joey Reynolds (Donovan) is interviewing Noel Clarke (Mickey in the
current Doctor Who series) this Sunday for future broadcasts of "Sci-
Fi Overdrive" and "American Who". Joey is asking fans for questions
for Mr. Clarke. If there's anything you wanted to ask, e-mail Joey
at scifiradioguy@... .

If Doctor Who is sold to any additional countries, the news would
likely appear at the BBC Press Office

Two more international broadcasters have bought Doctor Who.
Information is sadly sketchy, as the BBC didn't announce it
themselves. There have probably been more international sales, and
it appears we may have to dig for them ourselves.

1) FINLAND!!!

Kristopher Lawson found that TV2 in Finland had bought the series.
TV2 airs English language programming in English with subtitles - no
dubbing.

(Not sure if this link will be kept stable)

"BBC:n Doctor Who TV2:lle

Yle on hankkinut BBC:lt? aikanaan kulttiohjelmaksi nousseen nuorten
sci-fi-sarja Doctor Whon. BBC on tuottanut sarjasta n?ytt?v?n uuden
version, joka n?hd??n TV2:lla."

Translated:

"BBC's Doctor Who on TV2

Yle has purchased the rights to Doctor Who, the cult youth sci-fi
series, from the BBC. The BBC has produced an impressive new version
which will be shown on TV2."

TV2's website - http://www.yle.fi/tv2/ - no English translation. No
sign of a series premiere yet from my attempts to read the site.

2) South Korea!!!

Outpost Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com has the following
announcement:

"South Korea is the latest country to pick up the series. South
Korean public TV station KBS (equivalent to BBC) is going to
broadcast the new Doctor Who series from the 5th of June, every
Saturday at 11.15 pm. No further details as yet."

That would probably be Saturday the 4th, which would make KBS the
4th major broadcaster behind the BBC, CBC, and ABC.

KBS Website - http://www.kbs.co.kr (in Korean, may try to download
Korean symbols to your computer)
KBS Website in English - http://english.kbs.co.kr (may still try to
download Korean symbols to your computer if you don't already have
them)

KBS seems to have several TV channels. On the Korean language
website I have been able to identify 1 English language show on 2TV
(Lost, airing several times a week). On the English language site
the TV schedules aren't included.

The list of known Doctor Who broadcasters is now:
UK - BBC One, BBC Three
Canada - CBC
Australia - ABC
South Korea - KBS (one of the channels)
Finland - TV2
New Zealand - Prime TV
Italy - Canal Jimmy
Netherlands - Nederland 3
and the episode Rose on Thomsonfly Airlines

If it has been sold to your country and is not yet on this list,
please alert at thisweekindoctorwho-owner@yahoogroups.com .

Congratulations, Finland and South Korea.

Outpost Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com reports that South
Korean public broadcaster KBS http://www.kbs.co.kr has bought rights
to air the new Doctor Who series on Saturday nights at 11:15PM
starting 4 June. Outpost Gallifrey did not note whether the Doctor
would air on KBS1 or KBS2, and as I don't know how to read Korean I
have not been able to find any announcement on the website about the
purchase. The listings through 5 June should go up on 30 May at
which point we can be certain which channel got the show. Here's
hoping that Doctor Who wins the approval of South Korean viewers.
KBS has an English language site http://english.kbs.co.kr , but that
site does not have the TV listings for the channels.

TV2 in Finland http://www.yle.fi/tv2 has also purchased Doctor Who.
This public broadcaster airs English language shows in English with
subtitles. No premiere date yet. The report came out at
http://www.yle.fi/mobiiliuutiset/uutiset/pop_p7.html (might drop off
that page soon):

"BBC:n Doctor Who TV2:lle

"Yle on hankkinut BBC:lt? aikanaan kulttiohjelmaksi nousseen nuorten
sci-fi-sarja Doctor Whon. BBC on tuottanut sarjasta n?ytt?v?n uuden

Translated into English:

"BBC's Doctor Who on TV2

"Yle has purchased the rights to Doctor Who, the cult youth sci-fi
series, from the BBC. The BBC has produced an impressive new version
which will be shown on TV2."

Thanks to Kristopher Lawson for catching this news and the
translation.

Doctor Who performed very well on the ABC http://www.abc.net.au/tv
in Australia, getting between 1.1 and 1.2 million viewers. It won
its time slot in some cities (how many cities seems to be in dispute
at the moment while sports results in some regions are being
tallied). Doctor Who's results are evidently a noticeable increase
on the results for the past season of Monarch Of The Glen, which co-
starred ex-Doctor Tom Baker.

For those who were curious, the ABC aired Doctor Who in 16:9
widescreen on their HD digital channel (Doctor Who was not in HD),
while the analogue version of ABC aired Doctor Who in the 14:9
cropped letterbox version that analogue BBC One viewers get. The
14:9 compromise cuts a small bit off the left and right sides of the
image and leaves smaller black bars on the top and bottom of a 4:3
TV. On a 16:9 TV, you also have black bars on the left and right
hand side of the screen when watching the analogue transmission of
the show. Doctor Who is filmed 14:9 safe on the assumption that it
will air in that format in some countries. The CBC in Canada airs
Doctor Who in 16:9 for both digital and analogue viewers.

BBC One's http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone broadcast of The Empty Child
on 21 May. Yes, it began at 6:30PM as warned. No, nothing was cut
from the broadcast that was reinstated on later showings - a sound
effect was cut by the makers of the show some time back as they
thought it made a scene too intense. The Empty Child would have
looked the same had it aired at its regular 7PM start time. In spite
of the unusual start time, Doctor Who achieved overnight ratings of
6.6 million - the lowest of the series to date, but a very good
result. It outperformed its primary competition on ITV (Star Wars I:
The Phantom Menace (repeat airing) - 3.5 million viewers) on the
weekend Star Wars III premiered in UK theatres (and most of the rest
of the world). Hopefully good word of mouth and a return to the 7PM
start time will see even better results for part 2 (The Doctor
Dances) this Saturday.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2005/05/23/19514.shtml has a
casting update for the 2nd season of Doctor Who. If you are trying
to avoid all news about the 2nd season, do not click on that link.

KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT http://www.kued.org has put "TBA" (to be
announced) in the Doctor Who time slot for 11, 18, and 25 June (the
next 3 times Doctor Who would have aired). It looks like the series
has been dropped altogether, though we do not have final
confirmation. Other US stations in recent months were reporting that
they had been unable to renew contracts with the series. Maryland
Public TV http://www.mpt.org and Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org
haven't reached the end of their contracts, and those 2 stations
continue airing Doctor Who into June.

Last week Joey Reynolds asked for questions for Noel Clarke (Mickey
on Doctor Who), who he would be interviewing for Sci-Fi Overdrive
http://www.scifioverdrive.com and American Who
http://www.americanwho.net . The American Who version of the
interview may be up as soon as today as a special edition. Any
version for Sci-Fi Overdrive would be next weekend or later - that
show is in repeats for Memorial Day in the US.

Press releases about international Doctor Who sales when they happen
should appear at the BBC Press Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net . Having said that, neither one of them has
caught the South Korea or Finland purchases yet.

Who Sundays at 7PM (7:30PM Newfoundland) starting June 19.

Tuesday June 7 8PM - 1-10 "The Doctor Dances"

A new BBC press release highlights a list of countries that have
bought Doctor Who:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/commercial/worldwidestories/pressrel
eases/2005/05_may/licensing_international.shtml .

Interestingly, it reveals that Doctor Who has been bought in Denmark
and Hungary, which is new and welcome news. No broadcasters are
named, so the digging to find who has Who has begun.

News article on South Korean pickup of Doctor Who series.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?
xml=/news/2005/05/29/nwho29.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/05/29/ixhome_html

Doctor Who will be dubbed and air 2 episodes per week (Sundays
11:15PM) on KBS2 starting this weekend. It is the first BBC drama to
be sold to South Korea, so this will be a new audience for the
series. The English language version of the KBS website doesn't give
TV listings for the main channels. The main Korean version
http://www.kbs.co.kr only updates the TV schedule once a week, so if
there are any repeats during the week before the next episodes air
on 12 June we won't know until 6 June. The site is somewhat
difficult to read if, like I, you can't read Korean, so I might miss
fine details that someone who can read Korean might catch.

The Telegraph article also mentions that 4 airlines (Virgin
Atlantic, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Air New Zealand)
have bought the rights to air Doctor Who on their airplanes
beginning in June. So if you do any flying on one of those airlines,
it'd be interesting to know how many episodes are available at one
time and when they switch episodes. And I guess this means that the
New Zealand and Singapore premieres of the series will be in the
air, not on a TV station. Thomsonfly Airlines has had Doctor Who for
a month, though there have been no reports on how many episodes they
air or when they update.

C21Media also has a press release on the KBS2 South Korean pickup:

This one has a quote by Jungwon Lee, executive director at KBS
Media: "We are excited to launch Doctor Who on our network. For the
first time in a primetime weekend slot, we are bringing the latest
hit BBC drama to our Korean audience and anticipate a great reaction
from all age groups."

Both articles point out that the Korean word for Dalek
catchphrase "Exterminate!" is "Pagishikinda!"

CBC Canada http://www.cbc.ca/television has officially scheduled
repeats of Doctor Who starting Sunday June 19 at 7PM (7:30PM
Newfoundland). The Sunday run (which begins shortly before the
episodes finish on Tuesdays) will have all 13 episodes. If you
missed any episodes, or want to see them again, or want to introduce
new fans to the show, this is a great opportunity. It marks the
first regular repeats of the series outside of BBC Three in the UK.
Based on the CBC's website, repeats will also air in the Tuesday 8PM
slot starting 5 July.

The CBC.CA documentary Planet Of The Doctor
http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor has seen its 3rd episode "The
Adventures Of Doctor Who" go online.

The CBC mysteriously cut 15 seconds from "The Empty Child" on the 31
May broadcast. Expect the Doctor Who Information Network
http://www.dwin.org to have details shortly, as they put up a
description of the scene of World War Three that the CBC omitted a
few weeks back.

KUED 7 Salt Lake City, UT http://www.kued.org has replaced Doctor
Who on its schedule. Starting June 11, Fawlty Towers will air there.
This leaves 2 US stations who have not finished their contracts to
air the old episodes - Maryland Public TV http://www.mpt.org and
Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org .

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone is airing a special 45 minute
compilation of Doctor Who Confidential (normally a BBC Three show)
on Saturday 18 June at 6:15PM BST as the lead-in to the Doctor Who
season finale.

BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree is having some special

BBC Three schedules are subject to frequent change. The 8PM start
for the first showing of Confidential on 18 June may be a red
herring. Until Tuesday a Live Aid retrospective was scheduled for
BBC Three from 7 to 8PM, keeping Confidential from starting at
7:45PM. The Live Aid special has disappeared and been replaced by
the immortal words "To Be Announced".

Just think. The UK is only 10 days from the end of the first full
Doctor Who "series" on TV since 1989. 20 days left in Canada.

KBS 2 South Korea http://www.kbs.co.kr is definitely airing 2 Doctor
Who episodes per week in order Sundays at 11:15PM. No repeats. While
the episodes are dubbed into Korean, you can still hear them in
English if you switch to the Secondary Audio Program (SAP) channel.
KBS has also added a Doctor Who homepage
http://www.kbs.co.kr/2tv/enter/doctorwho/index.html in Korean to
help get viewers up to speed on this show that has never aired there
before. Includes a message board. Very nicely done.

CBC TV http://www.cbc.ca/television has updated their July schedule.
While repeats will continue Sundays at 7PM all Summer, June 28 will
be the final Tuesday broadcast (Canadian premiere of The Parting Of
The Ways - season finale). Tuesdays at 8PM will return to
documentaries through the Summer.

No new networks have purchased the series in the past week.

Well, the trip of a lifetime is about to finish its first leg in the
UK. The first full season of Doctor Who since 1989 concludes
Saturday on BBC One at 7PM with "The Parting Of The Ways",
right
after "The Ultimate Guide", a documentary at 6:15PM. At
7:45PM BBC
Three airs the final installment of Doctor Who Confidential. The
BBC's Doctor Who website http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho is
advising
viewers to avoid the internet until Saturday to escape the spoilers
and shocks that are sure to be leaked before the episode actually
airs. See the quick broadcast schedule above or the detailed version
below to catch all the airings of Doctor Who on BBC Three, including
a special repeat of "Bad Wolf" before the Saturday airings.

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone and BBC Three
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree will definitely not air Doctor Who on
25 June. BBC One will air Only Fools And Horses from 6:10 to 7:35PM.
BBC Three will air Glastonbury 2005 coverage from 7PM to 2AM on
Saturday 25 June and Sunday 26 June.

CBC Canada's http://www.cbc.ca/television begins its repeat run
of
Doctor Who this weekend (Sunday 19 June 7PM), even though the first
run on Tuesdays at 8PM runs through 28 June. If you've missed
some
episodes, have friends you want to introduce to the show, or just
want to see it again, here's your chance in Canada. Episode 5 of
Planet Of The Doctor http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor is now
online.

2 episodes of Doctor Who will air at the 2005 TV & Film Festival
Cologne
http://www.cologne-conference.de/en/festival/TopTenFiction.php in
Germany this summer. I wouldn't count this as a broadcaster, but
it's a chance for a new audience to see some of the series. The
photo on the website is from The End Of The World (episode 2). While
the episodes are not listed, Stephen Moffat's name is, indicating
that they are probably The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances
(episodes 9 and 10), which he wrote. Friday 1 July at 10:30PM CET at
the Cinedom.

Various publications in New Zealand are reporting that Prime TV
http://www.primetv.co.nz will premiere Doctor Who in July. The New
Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com tends to find
out this information first. And it's a neat website to visit
anyway.

Still keeping an eye on the BBC Press Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net for further Doctor Who sales. Nothing in the
past week.

Doctor Who is a BBC Trademark. Copyright 2005.

Wednesday night at the BAFTA screening of episode 13 (The Parting Of
The Ways) for media, guests, and members of the public who got the
tickets, news came out:

Doctor Who renewed for a Third series of 13 45 minute episodes and a
Second Christmas Special (presumably 60 minutes), ensuring at least
28 episodes after the current series!! 41 episodes made in total
through series 3 in 2007.

Series 1 (already filmed and finishing in the UK this Saturday)
Christmas Special 2005
Series 2
Christmas Special 2006
Series 3

The title of this year's special is "The Christmas Invasion".
Casting information about the crew beyond the Doctor came out, but
as The Parting Of The Ways hasn't aired in the UK yet (let alone
anywhere else), I'll wait on mentioning who is back for the next
series.

No confirmation on the renewal of documentary tie-in show Doctor Who
Confidential, unless it's mixed in with spoiler news.

Pretty much every British newspaper today is full of spoilers for
Saturday's episode (in paper or online). The BBC's News section
http://news.bbc.co.uk has a major spoiler in their Entertainment
section in the article on Doctor Who's renewal for series 3. Outpost
Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com has no spoilers but does
reveal the casting information on the New Series News Page.

Non-spoiler reviews of the episode think this finale will be a
classic. Sounds like a very exciting weekend on the way for UK Who
fans (and fans in neighboring countries with BBC One).

Meanwhile, in New Zealand ...

Prime TV http://www.primetv.co.nz ran an ad for Doctor Who last
night with the music, the logo, and the words "Coming Soon" over a
picture of Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper. Most fans there
are expecting a July premiere for the series at this point.
Hopefully a premiere date will be announced sooner, not later.

Barring any utterly startling Doctor Who news (and if it's a spoiler
the TWIDW list probably won't even have that), the next update on
the list should be when the Overnight ratings come in for "The
Parting Of The Ways"'s premiere showing on BBC One.

Cheers,
Benjamin F. Elliott

Prime TV New Zealand http://www.primetv.co.nz has scheduled Doctor
Who for Thursdays 7:30PM starting 7 July, putting the series right
against Coronation Street in that country. Prime TV's release about
the premiere:

"Prime Television is thrilled to be bringing Doctor Who to New
Zealand television screens 7th July, 7:30pm. Doctor Who's long
awaited return was a ratings success for the BBC, attracting up to
10.5 million viewers in the UK on its premiere night, a 43% share of
audience.

"It has been over 40 years since Doctor Who hit television screens.
The show promises to deliver all the excitement of good drama, with
a hero who never carries a gun. Fans should brace themselves for
some exhilarating experiences and deadly confrontations."

BBC One http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone aired the first series finale of
Doctor Who (episode 13 - The Parting Of The Ways) on Saturday 18
June. While the overnight rating of 6.185 million was the 2nd lowest
of the 13 (beating only The Doctor Dances), it achieved the highest
audience appreciation for Doctor Who ever (89%), the most watched
show of the night, and nearly 42% of the viewing public tuning in on
the hottest June Day in London since 1976. Several organizations
reported on the ratings result from different angles - warning,
links contain details of the episode:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4108472.stm
http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/articles/folder2005/06/JuneDaily/dailytv-
200605
http://news.scotsman.com/entertainment.cfm?id=680312005

At this time, no repeats of the current Doctor Who series or Doctor
Who Confidential are scheduled on any of the BBC channels in the UK.
Somehow, I expect there will be repeats somewhere soon. In case you
missed last week's column and any Doctor Who news source for the
past week - Doctor Who has been picked up for series 2 and 3, with
13 regular episodes and a Christmas special for each - 28 future
episodes!

The BBC has been running a Doctor Who trailer on their channels
since the 18th advertising the Christmas 2005 episode (The Christmas
Invasion). It consists of audio from the series finale and a montage
of clips from the 13 episodes, culminating in the final scene and a
note that the Christmas episode airs in December 2005.

The CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television has put up the 6th and final
segment of their Planet Of The Doctor documentary
http://www.cbc.ca/planetofthedoctor . The documentary totals
approximately 70 minutes. They will also be the second broadcaster
to air this series' finale - Tuesday at 8PM (8:30PM Newfoundland).

KBS 2 South Korea http://www.kbs.co.kr is starting Doctor Who at
11:35PM this Sunday instead of the regular 11:15PM. The 2 episodes
airing (The Long Game and Father's Day) will run to 1:15AM instead
of the regular 12:55AM. Hopefully this is a one time only change. If
you're in South Korea, please set your VCR/DVR accordingly or
prepare to have blurry eyes at work.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

is going haywire. Dark forces from Metebelis are trying to get the
crystal and destroying anyone in their path. The price for stopping

contracts for newer packages don't include Dalek stories, so this is
the only one you can see right now. The Daleks return to Skaro in
search of a figure from their past who can save their future.
Introducing the oddest Doctor Who aliens yet - the Movellans. Enjoy

21 June - Doctor Who: Bad Wolf - 614,000 viewers

Doctor Who completed its series on the CBC
http://www.cbc.ca/television last night. Episode 13 (The Parting Of
The Ways) evidently aired uncut, including the notice at the start
of the closing credits that Doctor Who will return in "The Christmas
Invasion". Amusingly, the notice at the end of the Coronation Street
episode right before Doctor Who said that Canadian Antiques Roadshow
was on next. Doctor Who reruns will *not* air on Tuesdays in Canada,
but a repeat season continues Sundays at 7PM on the CBC in all time
zones (7:30PM in Newfoundland).

New Zealand Who broadcaster Prime TV http://www.primetv.co.nz has
issued a press pack on the new Doctor Who series and allowed the New
Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club to host it online at
http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/screenings/prime . Warning, the press pack
contains mild spoilers for some episodes. It also has a comedically
bad description of a Slitheen. Looks like the first 6 episodes at
least will air with no pre-emptions or time changes. You've already
read earlier and will read later in the column that the series
premieres on Thursday 7 July at 7:30PM. Prime is the 5th broadcaster
(excluding airplanes and special showings) to air the series.

Are you flying this summer? Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Air
New Zealand, Singapore Airways, Thompsonfly - all have been reported
this year as purchasers of the series. If you happen to be on one of
these airlines and the in-flight entertainment is running check and
see which episodes (if any) are flying so we can get a more precise
picture of when Doctor Who was airing in various places. If you've
already seen an episode or two on one of these planes, please e-mail
in with the date, which episode(s), the airline, and any unusual
features (anything cut, picture modified, subtitles, etc).

We have a sighting of "Rose", the first episode, on Virgin Atlantic
last weekend on a flight from the US to the UK.

Most of the final BARB ratings for BBC3 broadcasts of Doctor Who on
the 18th/19th June came are in this column this week, but the BBC1
information wasn't out when the column went to press. Outpost
Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com will probably have the final
figures for BBC 1 later today, and all of that weekend's numbers
will be in next week's column.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

Doctor Who is a BBC Trademark. Copyright 2005.

Members of the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club
http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com are reporting from the TV listings there
that "Rose" will repeat on Prime TV on Sunday 10 July at 7:30PM, 3
days after the premiere of the episode. It is unknown if Prime will
repeat all the episodes or if this is just an attempt to advertise
the start of Doctor Who's run. It is very rare for over the air New
Zealand TV stations to air the same episode of a show twice in one
week.

Shortly after yesterday's TWIDW column went to press, the BBC
announced that the CBC had picked up the Christmas Special and
Series 2 of Doctor Who:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2005/06/29/20283.shtml

It looks like the CBC will get the Christmas Special right after it
airs in the UK.

Benjamin Elliott
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/doctorwho

Digiguide http://www.digiguide.com is showing its subscribers that
Doctor Who returns to BBC Three in the UK this month. It appears
that episodes will air Saturdays at 7:45PM followed by the relevant
Doctor Who Confidential installments (uncut). Episodes repeat the
following Wednesday at 8:15PM without Confidential. BBC Three
schedules change frequently. Don't panic if these times change
before the next edition of TWIDW comes out Wednesday.

The schedule so far:

16 July
7:45PM - 1-01 "Rose"
8:30PM - Confidential 1-01 "Back From The Future"

20 July
8:15PM - 1-01 "Rose"

Thanks to Digiguide subscribers for catching this so soon. After the
great success of Doctor Who on BBC One and Three these past few
months, a repeat run is quite justified.

New Zealand - Prime TV http://www.primetv.co.nz has scheduled Rose
(first episode) twice this week - Thursday and Sunday at 7:30PM. It
was not clear as of publication time if the Sunday repeat was a one
time special event or a regular weekly repeat. There is an
advertising blitz for the show in New Zealand right now, including
ads on the buses
http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/screenings/prime/bus.html . The long wait
is over. Doctor Who's on Prime. Time to thank the station by tuning
in.

UK - A repeat season of the Christopher Eccleston episodes is on the
way! BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree has Doctor Who back on
the upcoming schedule. The Doctor Who website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2005/07/04/20378.shtml has this
report:

"Missed an episode? BBC Three will repeat the series on Sundays at
7PM, with a cut down Confidential at 7:45PM. Initially, there will
also be a repeat, uh, repeat on Fridays at 9PM - but this slot's not
been confirmed for all 13 episodes. ... Please note - like the
weather, schedules can change at a moment's notice."

*Note - the TWIDW Update sent out this past weekend on the BBC Three
repeat run was based on Digiguide http://www.digiguide.com and Radio
Times http://www.radiotimes.com . At the time those sources showed
that the repeat run would be Saturdays at 7:45PM with repeats
Wednesdays at 8:15PM. Schedules have updated to reflect the
information on the BBC website. BBC Three frequently changes their
schedules, so don't be surprised if the repeats move again at short
notice.

The CBC http://www.cbc.ca/television officially purchased the 2nd
series of Doctor Who and the Christmas Special, to air very shortly
after their UK premieres. The press releases:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/drwho/2005/06/29/20283.shtml
http://www.c21media.net/news/detail.asp?area=1&article=25400

Thanks for the information received about Doctor Who on Virgin
Atlantic flights (column updated to reflect that). I'm still looking
for information on Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, and British
Airways. Also, while the BBC has announced sales of the series to
Denmark and Hungary they haven't said who bought the show in those
countries. If you know, or if you were the broadcaster, please get
in contact so we can add the information and cover your broadcasts
like the rest of the world.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media

Thanks for reading. Until next week, take care.

Doctor Who is a BBC Trademark. Copyright 2005.

News is slowly emerging that public broadcaster SVT in Sweden has
bought the Swedish rights to Doctor Who. There are 2 regular SVT
channels (SVT 1 and SVT 2) and news channel SVT 24 (wouldn't expect
Doctor Who on that one).

SVT's website is http://svt.se/ .

Based on the reports, the 2005 series of Doctor Who will tentatively
air Thursdays at 8PM on one of the SVT channels early in 2006. This
was apparently said on air right before a movie with Christopher
Eccleston in it aired last month. The news has also appeared in a
newspaper article *not yet online* focused on SVT's purchase of US
Teen Drama/Mystery series "Veronica Mars".

If you can read Swedish, this is being discussed at
http://www.scifinytt.se/ .

Congratulations Sweden!

With the Swedish pickup, we now have:
UK - BBC One & BBC Three - series 1 aired, series 2 and 3 picked up
Canada - CBC - series 1 aired, series 2 picked up
Australia - ABC - series 1 Saturdays 7:30PM
South Korea - KBS 2 - series 1 Sundays 11:15PM
New Zealand - Prime TV - series 1 Thursdays 7:30PM
Italy - Jimmy - series 1 premiere TBA
Finland - TV2 - series 1 premiere TBA
Netherlands - Nederland 3 - series 1 premiere 2006?
Sweden - SVT - series 1 premiere 2006?
Denmark - purchased, don't know the broadcaster
Hungary - purchased, don't know the broadcaster
Thompsonfly Airlines, Virgin Airlines, British Airways, Air New
Zealand, and Singapore Airlines

If your country has bought Doctor Who and is missing from that list,
please contact thisweekindoctorwho-owner@yahoogroups.com .

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - 7 Years And Counting
July 13, 2005 - Vol 8, No 28
The weekly guide to Doctor Who broadcasts worldwide.
by Benjamin F. Elliott
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho

Thurday 14 July:
Prime TV New Zealand - 7:30PM - Doctor Who: The End Of The World
Saturday 16 July:
ABC Australia - 7:30PM - Doctor Who: The Empty Child
Sunday 17 July:
BBC Three 7PM - Doctor Who: Rose (repeat)
CBC - 7PM - Doctor Who: World War Three (repeat)
BBC Three 7:45PM - Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down: Back From The
Future (repeat)
KBS 2 South Korea - 11:15PM - Doctor Who: The Parting Of The Ways

New Zealand Ratings:
7 July 7:30PM Rose - 151,000 viewers

Sweden - SVT http://www.svt.se has purchased Doctor Who. Based on on-
air comments during a Christopher Eccleston movie, it is believed
that the show will air Thursdays at 8PM in early 2006. It is unclear
if it will be SVT 1 or SVT 2.

New Zealand - Doctor Who got very good ratings for Prime
http://www.primetv.co.nz on its premiere night. The episode aired
cropped to 4:3 fullscreen (not the 14:9 letterbox crop which the
show was filmed to accommodate - important information is being cut
off). The closing credits aired with no voiceover, allowing viewers
to hear the music without distraction. The Sunday repeat for Rose
was a one time thing - catch future episodes on Thursdays or you're
out of luck till the DVDs come out.

South Korea - KBS 2 http://www.kbs.co.kr concludes its broadcast of
the 2005 Doctor Who series this Sunday at 11:15PM. There will be no
second Doctor Who episode that night. It is unknown if repeats will
air, or if future series of the show have been purchased.

Russell T. Davies confirmed in a magazine interview that Doctor Who
Confidential http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/confidential has been
renewed for a 2nd 13 episode series. This documentary show
frequently led the ratings on non-terrestrial channels, beating UK
premieres for shows like 24 and Enterprise

United Kingdom - The BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree repeat
season begins this weekend. The most recent schedule update looks
like this:
Sunday 17 July 7PM "Rose"
Sunday 17 July 7:45PM "Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down episode 1"
Friday 22 July 9PM "Rose"
Friday 22 July 9:45PM "Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down episode 1"
Sunday 24 July 7PM "The End Of The World"
Saturday 24 July 7:45PM "Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down episode 2"

Sci-Fi Overdrive's http://www.scifioverdrive.com interview with
Shannon Patrick Sullivan of A Brief History Of Time (Travel)
http://www.physics.mun.ca/~sps/drwho.html may not have aired on the
Lifestyle Talk Radio network - their online archive was for a
different interview when I checked. It did air on the Business Talk
Radio network and is in their archive. It was a review and
conversation about the 2005 series of Doctor Who. If you missed the
broadcast, or it didn't air on your station, click
http://archives.warpradio.com/btr/SciFi/071102.MP3 and tune in. 53
minutes including commercials. LISTENER ADVISORY - while it was a
very good interview (including a slightly mangled quote of mine), it
does have slight spoilers for the first 10 episode of the series,
including the outcome of episode 10 - The Doctor Dances.

BBC Wales has issued press releases hailing their most successful
year ever, led by Doctor Who:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/07_july/1
3/wales.shtml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/info/review_2005/network.shtml

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

This Week In Doctor Who is 7 years old. The first edition went out
July 13, 1998. How times change. Time to stop for a moment and
reflect on 7 crazy years, especially this last one.

Now back to the column.

Thanks for reading. Until next week, take care.

Doctor Who is a BBC Trademark. Copyright 2005.

Over the last couple of days new Doctor Who broadcasters have come to
light.

1) Hungary - RTLKlub http://rtlklub.hu

We already knew that a broadcaster in Hungary had purchased the
series - we now have a name. The name of the broadcaster in Denmark
that bought the series is still unknown.

2) British Midland Airline - episode unknown

Another airline to add to the list. This was spotted on a flight from
Dulles Airport to Manchester. The flight arrived early so they did not
get to Doctor Who, so we do not know which episode is airing right now.

3) First Great Western Railway (Volo TV) -
http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/atyourservice/volotv.php

Volo TV on the First Great Western Railway in the UK is now offering a
lot of TV programs to view. Most of the programs (The Prisoner, The
Persuaders, etc) are several decades old, so it is possible that they
will be offering older Doctor Who episodes instead of the 2005 series.
We just don't know.

4) Telewest Broadband

Telewest Broadband is rolling out a video on demand service to their
cable subscribers. It will allow viewers to see recent UK TV shows,
allegedly including Doctor Who. It is coming out this month. If you
have Telewest Broadband check when this rolls out in your area and
let's verify what is happening.

BBC Three Sunday 17 July 7PM - Confidential Cut Down: Bringing Back
The Doctor (repeat) - 141,500 viewers (1.2% share)

Hungary - RTLKlub http://rtlklub.hu is the Hungarian broadcaster for
Doctor Who. Congrats, RTLKlub and all those who can see the channel.
The name of the broadcaster in Denmark is still unknown.

KBS 2 South Korea http://www.kbs.co.kr has concluded its run of
Doctor Who episodes for the time being. It's replacement in the
Sunday 11:15PM time period - Desperate Housewives.

BBC Three http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree seems to have settled into a
pattern with its Doctor Who repeats, at least for the next couple of
weeks.
Doctor Who - Sunday 7PM, Friday 9PM
Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down - Sunday 7:45PM, Wednesday 8:15PM,
Friday 9:45PM
Doctor Who Confidential (full version) - Saturday 7ishPM
Also, some NTL cable subscribers have a new On Demand service where
shows on selected channels are available to watch whenever you want
for a week. One of those channels is BBC Three, Doctor Who repeats
and all. Telewest Broadband is launching a similar service. Whether
that service will cover Doctor Who has yet to be confirmed.

The Media Guardian
http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,1530847,00.html
(subscription required to read story) reports that the BBC is
considering selling programs over the internet to non-UK residents.
They may also offer advertising on their website for non-UK readers.
No guarantee that this would include Doctor Who, of course.

British Midland is another airline airing the new Doctor Who on its
flights. Unknown which episode is airing right now.

First Great Western Railway's Volo TV
http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/atyourservice/volotv.php is
offering TV shows to watch on the train. Doctor Who is listed among
the shows. Other shows are The Prisoner, The Persuaders, and shows
of a similar vintage, so this could be episodes of the 1963 to 1989
run. If you're on a Great Western train, you could be the first to
find out.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

The BBC has announced plans to air several of Big Finish's Doctor
Who audio stories on digital radio station BBC7. The 3 BBC produced
Doctor Who radio stories that aired on BBC7 in the past (The
Paradise Of Death, The Ghosts Of N-Space, and Slipback) have been
popular with listeners.

Big Finish http://www.doctorwho.co.uk is a company making audio and
book products in several science fiction lines, their primary one
being Doctor Who. Since 1999 they have been releasing new Doctor Who
audio stories (roughly one a month). The regular line of stories has
rotated between Peter Davison (returning as the 5th Doctor), Colin
Baker (returning as the 6th Doctor), Sylvester McCoy (returning as
the 7th Doctor), and Paul McGann (returning as the 8th Doctor). In
most cases, the CD releases are 2 discs long and consist of 4
episodes, structured like a traditional Doctor Who story. See the
Big Finish website for more details.

This marks the first time any of the Big Finish Doctor Who stories
have ever appeared on radio. Big Finish did make "Real Time" and the
2003 remake of "Shada" for the BBC Doctor Who website. Presumably
this is a test run with the hope of further stories if it goes well.

4 Paul McGann stories have been chosen for the first run of
broadcasts on BBC7. Storm Warning (#16, first McGann audio), Sword
Of Orion (#17), The Stones Of Venice (#18), and Invaders From Mars
(#28, 5th McGann audio). There is no official reason why the 4th
McGann audio (Minuet In Hell #19) has been skipped, or if it would
be included in future seasons.

Episodes will air Saturdays at 6:30PM BST with a 12:30AM repeat from
6 August through 19 November. 1 episode per week.

Big Finish has typically allowed Doctor Who episodes to vary
radically in length. BBC7 wants episodes to fit in the time slot and
not run over. All episodes must be 29 minutes or shorter. It is
unknown at this time if Big Finish will move any cliffhangers on
their stories to save material by getting stuff from a long episode
into a short one. Steve Manfred of the Doctor Who on North American
DVD/VHS FAQ list http://home.comcast.net/~smanfred/ has come up with
the following unofficial tallies for the unedited length of each
episode if given full length opening/closing credits for radio:

Storm Warning, part 1 26:12
part 2 26:41
part 3 37:23
part 4 29:53

Sword of Orion, part 1 35:55
part 2 27:36
part 3 30:12
part 4 33:54

The Stones of Venice, part 1 33:17
part 2 28:23
part 3 26:06
part 4 27:33

Invaders from Mars, part 1 22:31
part 2 21:19
part 3 23:24
part 4 30:22

One edit will be Ramsey the Vortisore. It is unknown how his role in
Storm Warning will be edited (suffice it to say he can't be excised
completely). But Ramsey's small role will be entirely missing from
Sword Of Orion and The Stones Of Venice. Ramsey's story arc
concluded in Minuet In Hell, which is not being presented in this
run, necessitating the cut.

It's great that some of the Big Finish stories will finally get a
chance to be heard by a wider audience on radio. The stories are
still out on CD unedited to buy.

The BFBS TV service for British servicemen serving abroad has aired
series 1 of Doctor Who. The final apparently broadcast was on Saturday
23 July, when The Parting Of The Ways reran, followed by the season
finale of Doctor Who Confidential.

BFBS Navy TV seems to have aired the Doctor at the following times
(Central European Time):
http://www.ssvc.com/bfbs/tv/bfbs1listing/Look_Ahead_Frameset.htm
Sunday 7PM - Doctor Who (first airing)
Late Sunday 2:35AM - first airing of Doctor Who Confidential(?)
Monday 8:35AM - Doctor Who Confidential
Early Saturday 5:05AM - Doctor Who
Early Saturday 5:50AM - Doctor Who Confidential
Saturday 11:05AM - Doctor Who
Saturday 11:50AM - Doctor Who Confidential

No future broadcasts are scheduled at this time. But nice to know it
reached British troops overseas so quickly.

Outpost Gallifrey's http://www.gallifreyone.com sources come through
again.

UKTV Gold http://www.ukgold.tv reports that they have gotten rights to
air the 2005 Doctor Who series (starring Christopher Eccleston) in
October. Doctor Who will start Monday 23 October at 7 and 8PM and run
at those times through the week. It is unknown if UKTV Gold will air
the series more than once. This information is not on the UKTV website
yet.

UKTV Gold (previously UK Gold) has had Doctor Who on its schedule in
one form or another since the satellite/cable channel launched in 1992.

This will be the first time those 13 episodes have repeated in the UK
on a channel that has commercial breaks.

BBC7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 has announced the premiere of an
extended series of Doctor Who on their digital radio station. But
the series was made a few years back. 4 full length full cast audio
stories released direct to CD by Big Finish
http://www.doctorwho.co.uk in 2001 and 2002 are being re-edited to
fit onto BBC7's schedule. The stories feature Paul McGann returning
as the 8th Doctor and India Fisher as companion Charley Pollard. The
stories are:
Storm Warning (Big Finish #16, 1st 8th Doctor/Charley story)
Sword Of Orion (Big Finish #17, 2nd 8th Doctor/Charley story)
The Stones Of Venice (Big Finish #18, 3rd 8th Doctor/Charley story)
Invaders From Mars (Big Finish #28, 5th 8th Doctor/Charley story)
The 4 stories will be serialized over 16 weeks (1 episode per week).
Stories air Saturdays at 6:30PM and 12:30AM BST from 6 August to 19
November. BBC7 has gotten the rights to these stories after the
success of the 3 BBC Doctor Who stories that have aired on the
channel several times. It is unknown if BBC7 will acquire any more
stories (8th Doctor or other) in the future.

Since Big Finish made their episodes at variable lengths, some will
have to be abridged to fit within BBC7's 29 minute time limits.
Cliffhangers could be moved in some cases to shift material from a
long episode to a short one - but we do not know if that will
happen. One known change will be the removal of Ramsey the Vortisore
from Sword Of Orion and The Stones Of Venice. This change is needed
because Minuet In Hell (#19, 4th 8th Doctor/Charley story) has not
been acquired to air at this time. No reason is given for excluding
Minuet In Hell, though the story over-runs more than other early 8th
Doctor stories. Also, Invaders From Mars has Simon Pegg (Shaun Of
The Dead, the Editor in Doctor Who: The Long Game), Mark Benton
(Clive in Doctor Who: Rose), and was written/directed by Mark Gatiss
(writer of Doctor Who: The Unquiet Dead) - it has a lot of
connection with this year's series on BBC One.

Doctor Who fans in the UK without a digital radio, Freeview TV box,
digital cable, or digital satellite - and fans outside the UK - can
hear BBC7 live in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player streams on
their website. For one week after the broadcasts you can hear the
episode in RealPlayer on the Listen Again section of the site. And
if you want the unedited versions, check Big Finish's website or the
other web services that sell Big Finish CDs.

UKTV Gold http://www.ukgold.tv - several developments. 1) The
current run of the stories ends on 24 September with Survival. On 25
September the channel airs Four To Doomsday, so either they are
skipping around or the Tom Baker stories will be bypassed this time
around. 2) The documentaries "Carnival Of Monsters" and "Adventures
In Space And Time" from the 1999 BBC2 Doctor Who Night will air
after Survival on 24 September. 3) Outpost Gallifrey
http://www.gallifreyone.com reports that UKTV Gold will air the 2005
Doctor Who series (Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper) over a week
starting Monday 23 October at 7 and 8PM.

British forces around the world have gotten to see Doctor Who - if
they kept track of the BFBS Navy TV schedule. Doctor Who, Doctor Who
Confidential (full length), and the BBC One Confidential tie in
specials have aired on BFBS Navy TV over the past few months, with
the final scheduled broadcast last Saturday 23 July.

The new series of Doctor Who has begun production. Outpost Gallifrey
and the BBC Doctor Who site http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho have
pictures and reports from 25 July, when David Tennant went to work
as the Doctor.

The BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice and C21 Media
http://www.c21media.net often announce when a Doctor Who
international sale occurs. Worth keeping an eye on, just in case.

Next week's edition of the column will go out on Tuesday 2 August,
as I'll be traveling a lot without computer access. Editions may be
disrupted throughout August and September if the purchase goes
through and TWIDW headquarters moves.
