The original test post of This Week In Doctor Who went out on July 13, 1998.

Happy 11th to the column as of Monday.



Upcoming Premiere Broadcasts:



Sunday 12 July:

BBC Entertainment Poland 6:40PM - 42

Wednesday 15 July:

The trigger has been pulled. Outpost Gallifrey has closed its news page

(http://www.doctorwhonews.com goes to a new page with the same team at Gallifrey

News Base), and the This Week In Doctor Who mirror there is no more. The

replacement link is http://thisweekindoctorwho.blogspot.com , and of course the

other places I've mentioned that This Week is available. This Week In Doctor Who

has been proud to be associated with Outpost Gallifrey in one form or another

since July 1998 when this column began. Thanks for all the glorious years.



Torchwood's ratings success and plot twists (be very careful on the internet if

you are waiting for Torchwood to air in your country or for the DVDs/Blu-Rays)

are still sucking up most of the air from Doctor Who news.



UK - If you have been watching the endless repeats of Series 1 and 2 of Doctor

Who on Watch (and previously on UKTV Gold), wondering when they would get newer

episodes - Series 3 begins tonight with The Runaway Bride and Smith And Jones.

For those who prefer their Who commercial free, BBC Three is going back to the

start of the new era on Friday with Rose. Looks like Fridays at 8, Saturdays and

Monday through Thursday at 7PM for the repeats.



France - France 4 is beginning a repeat run this Friday. Starting with Series 2

this time along.
