This is an update to the This Week In Doctor Who column of April 26.

1) The US Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ has put up its preliminary
June schedule on its website. Included on the schedule is a 3rd (and
probably final, unless they bought the rights to additional airings of the
film) airing of the 1996 Doctor Who movie, starring Paul McGann, Daphne
Ashbrook, and Eric Roberts. "Doctor Who" is airing as part of a daylong
marathon of movie revivals of classic TV shows on June 30. Doctor Who is
scheduled for 5PM Eastern/Pacific.

Sci-Fi has an East and a West Feed, and there are a lot of time zones.
Remember - satellite providers use the East Coast feed nationwide, cable
providers in Eastern and Central zones use the East feed almost exclusively,
cable providers in other time zones *usually* use the West feed, but check.
Quick way to know which feed you have - when does (ugh) John Edward begin in
your city. The East feed will have him at 8PM on the West coast, while the
West feed will have him at 11PM on the West Coast.

East Feed:
5PM Eastern Daylight Time
4PM Central Daylight Time
3PM Mountain Daylight Time
2PM Pacific Daylight Time
1PM Alaska
11AM Hawaii

West Feed:
6PM Mountain Daylight Time
5PM Pacific Daylight Time
4PM Alaska
2PM Hawaii
8PM Eastern Daylight Time*
7PM Central Daylight Time*

*Just in case anyone in the Eastern US actually gets the West feed of the
Sci-Fi Channel.

2) WCNY 24 Syracuse, NY http://www.wcny.org/ has picked up Doctor Who,
bringing the total number of US Doctor Who affiliates to 15. They air Doctor
Who Sundays at 5:30PM EDT, 1 episode a week. They actually started on April
14 with the first episode of Robot, but we didn't hear about it till now. So
if you live in update New York in the Syracuse/Utica area - Doctor Who is
finally back.

2a) Oh dear. On Sunday, June 30, when WCNY will in theory be airing a Doctor
Who episode, Sci-Fi will be airing the Doctor Who movie. It's been years
since anyone in the US ever had to worry about choosing between Doctor Who
on two different stations at the exact same time. Hmm.

3) Last week I *corrected* a notice that KERA/K24AD 13,24 Dallas/Wichita
Falls, Texas was switching to airing Doctor Who in movie format. I noted
that it looks like they would stay in episode format. Whoops. They switched
to movie format after all. KERA airs complete stories late Friday nights
beginning at 12:15AM.

4) Before I end this update, I have to say goodbye to John Nathan-Turner.
John Nathan-Turner worked on Doctor Who on and off beginning in 1969,
eventually becoming producer at the start of the 1980-1981 season. He was
the producer for the last decade of Doctor Who's original run, and had
remained a vocal spokesman for the series. John Nathan-Turner passed away on
May 1st, 2002 at age 54, after an illness. Mr. Turner was one of the most
influential figures in the TV history of Doctor Who, and he will be missed.
Rest In Peace, JNT.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - May 3, 2002

Well, this has been a wild week for TV Doctor Who. More twists and turns
popping up every day. And I wouldn't be surprised if more things are going
on which miss this edition.

1) John Nathan-Turner, 9th and final producer of Doctor Who during its TV
run, passed away Wednesday at the rather young age of 54, and deserves a
brief note. Mr. Turner was one of the most influential figures on the course
of Doctor Who. He first worked on the show as a new employee at the BBC
during filming of The Space Pirates in 1969. He worked on 2 Pertwee stories,
came back as a member of the production team starting with season 15
(mid-Tom Baker), and served as producer from the start of season 18 till the
end, the longest anyone served as producer.

2) SOUTH AMERICA gets Doctor Who. For the first time since HBO OLE aired the
TV Movie in 1999-2000, Doctor Who fans in South America will get to see the
Doctor on TV again. Cable network Uniseries http://www.uniseries.com.ar/ is
airing an episode a week starting Sunday, 5 May at 9:30PM Argentina time. I
don't know how many countries Uniseries airs in, but it definitely airs in
Argentina. I'd like to hear from any fans down there who get to see these
broadcasts. Uniseries' website and TV Guide's Argentina info
http://www.tvguide.com/ do not reveal which episodes are airing, or in what
language. I will keep my eyes open to see if any other stations on that
continent add Doctor Who, but my resources for that area are rather skimpy.
If Doctor Who pops up on a local channel, let me know.

3) USA - WCNY 24 Syracuse, NY http://www.wcny.org/ added Doctor Who to their
weekly lineup on April 14, but the column just found out this week. 1
episode a week, Sundays at 5:30PM Eastern Time. They are currently airing
Robot. I believe this is the first station in upstate New York to air Doctor
Who during the tenure of this column - let's make it the first of many.
Convert them all.

4) USA - this one is almost irritating. I've been monitoring hundreds of PBS
stations lately for various matters, not all Doctor Who related. Searching
countless schedules. This station not only has managed to air Doctor Who
since January without *my* noticing it, but no one ever noted "hey - you
missed one!" Well, it's been noted now, and thanks to the person who brought
it to my attention. And in spite of wishing I'd known of it sooner, I'm
always glad to hear that more stations air the show.

What? You actually want to know what station it is? Ok. KAWE/KAWB 9,22
Bernidji/Brainerd, MN http://www.lakelandptv.org/ , serving much of Northern
Minnesota. 1 episode Saturdays at 8PM, with a rerun Sundays at 11PM Central
Time. They've aired Robot, The Ark In Space, The Pyramids Of Mars (pledge
special), The Sontaran Experiment, and are now working on Genesis Of The
Daleks. Dish Network subscribers with the Minnesota/St. Paul, MN local
channels package should eventually get KAWE 9 at channel number 8583 (it's
not on the air yet), so you'll have 2 Doctor Who affiliates in that package.
Don't think DirecTV has announced plans to add this station in that market
yet.

5) UK - S4C, the Welsh version of Channel 4, has scheduled the 2nd Peter
Cushing Dr. Who movie "Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150A.D." to air this upcoming
late Thursday / early Friday, starting at 3:05AM. S4C can be seen throughout
Wales and areas just beyond. S4C Digital, the nationally available digital
version of S4C, doesn't seem to be on the air at that hour, so I guess the
movie won't air there. Still, the rest of the UK got to see the movie on a
Sunday afternoon a couple weeks back anyway.

6) INTERNET - The final segment of Death Comes To Time should be online by
now (see below). I hear the story has created a lot of controversy, with
people loving or hating the plot twists. I haven't actually had the time to
keep up with it, so I plan a marathon listening this week now that it's all
on the BBC's website.

7) RADIO - If you're a fan of the Interstellar Transmissions radio show
http://www.scifiradioguy.com/ , the one with the frequent Doctor Who guests,
read below. They've changed their radio station(s) and broadcast time.

8) USA - Last year the Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ bought the
rights to air the 1996 Doctor Who movie in the US up to 3 times in a one
year period, the first times it had aired since its premiere on FOX May 14,
1996. Sci-Fi aired the movie in July 2001 and on Christmas Eve 2001. Now,
they have scheduled it one more time - June 30, 2002, at 5PM Eastern. I
don't know if Sci-Fi bought any additional airings or if the movie will
become available to new buyers again after this. "Doctor Who" is scheduled
to air, appropriately enough, in the middle of an all-day festival of movie
revivals for classic TV shows. Doctor Who will be airing alongside "Here
Come The Munsters", "Knightrider 2000", "The Twilight Zone: Rod Serling's
Lost Classics", "The Addams Family" (1991), and "The Flintstones" (1993).

Sci-Fi has 2 programming feeds - East and West. Satellite providers use the
East Feed, as do virtually all Cable providers in the Eastern and Central US
time zones. Cable providers in the Mountain and Pacific time zones (and
Alaska & Hawaii) usually use the West feed, though sometimes the East feed
is used instead. So, figure out which feed you have and which time zone you
live in, and you can know when you can see the movie on June 30:

East Feed:
Eastern Time - 9PM
Central Time - 8PM
Mountain Time - 7PM
Pacific Time - 6PM
Alaska Time - 5PM
Hawaii Time - 3PM

West Feed:
Mountain Time - 10PM
Pacific Time - 9PM
Alaska Time - 8PM
Hawaii Time - 6PM

At press time, it was unknown if WQEX 16 would be back on the air by the

transmitter is put up which can broadcast both WQED-DT and WQEX-DT, when
those digital channels launch. Satellite subscribers don't have WQEX, cable
subscribers are having WQED substituted for WQEX, and most people with
antennas can pull in WQED, so few people are noticing the absence of WQEX.
For the few Pittsburgh area people who can only see WQEX, hope the new
antenna gets put up soon.

will be airing (probably early 4th Doctor) and whether they will be in
English, Spanish, or English with Spanish subtitles. This is the first week
that this channel has scheduled Doctor Who. It is a late addition which does
not yet have a description on the Uniseries web page.

Thanks for reading. Until next week, take care.

Doctor Who is a BBC Trademark. Copyright 2002.

Just read the news this morning. 3 years after episode 1 of The Crusade was
found in New Zealand, about a minute or so of film clips from early Doctor
Who stories has turned up. There are clips from "The Ark" (a story which
exists complete), episodes 2, 4, and 5 of The Web Of Fear, and episode 5 of
The Wheel In Space. This is a credible story. I'm not going to reproduce the
details here, as the news is online at:

A very good day for Doctor Who.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - May 10, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on TV worldwide. At the moment,
people on 6 continents can see Doctor Who on TV somewhere (at least until
June).

First up - congratulations to the fans in New Zealand! Several short clips
from missing Doctor Who episodes (The Web Of Fear episodes 2,4,+5; The Wheel
In Space 5), along with clips of surviving episodes and other TV shows have
turned up down there. It's about a minute of *new* Doctor Who material,
mostly from The Web Of Fear episode 4. The press release and screen grabs
are at http://www.tetrap.com/drwho/nzdwfc/ . Now, if we could just find the
episodes those clips were taken from ...

Last week, several new TV stations airing Doctor Who were announced. Guess
what - we still missed one, sort of. W59AU Utica, NY is a satellite of WCNY
24 Syracuse, NY http://www.wcny.org/ . If you can see W59AU, you have Doctor
Who as well. Also, KAWE 9 is in *Bemidji*, MN, not Bernidji.

Canadian Doctor Who fans with Digital Cable can see more Doctor Who starting
this weekend. BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ is airing weekend reruns of
Doctor Who to its lineup, which already airs episodes 4 times each
weeknight. Complete stories will air on Saturdays and Sundays at 3:30PM
Eastern (12:30PM Pacific), with repeats at 10PM Eastern (7PM Pacific). The
Saturday and Sunday broadcasts are different, and they are not linked to the
weeknight airings. Also, BBC Kids begins airing new (to them) Doctor Who
stories in the weeknight slots beginning Friday, May 24, with episode 1 of
Horror Of Fang Rock.

By the way, it occurs to me that WCNY/W59AU 24,59 Syracuse/Utica, NY and
KAWE/KAWB 9,22 Bemidji/Brainerd, MN come tantalizingly close to providing
Canadians with over the air or analog cable Doctor Who, without actually
reaching the Canadian border. I prefer the climate further south in the US,
but stations in colder regions seem more willing to pick up Doctor Who - go
figure. In case anyone is curious, I've put together a list of PBS stations
that I know have at least some coverage in Canada. If Canadians want Doctor
Who without needing Digital Cable, these would be the stations to try to
convince to pick up the show:

WTVS 56 Detroit, MI http://www.wtvs.org/
WGBH 2 Boston, MA http://www.wgbh.org/
WNED 17 Buffalo, NY http://www.wned.org/
WXXI 21 Rochester, NY http://www.wxxi.org/
WCFE 57 Plattsburgh, NY http://www.mountainlake.org/
WPBS/WNPI 16,18 Watertown/Norwood, NY http://www.wpbstv.org/
WETK 33 Burlington, VT (Vermont Public TV) http://www.vpt.org/
Maine Public Broadcasting http://www.mpbc.org/ (aired Doctor Who 1998-1999)
Prairie Public Broadcasting http://www.pol.org/ (aired Doctor Who 1998-2001)
KSPS 7 Spokane, WA http://www.ksps.org/ (aired Doctor Who 1980s-2000)
KCTS 9 Seattle, WA http://www.kcts.org/ (crosstown rival KBTC airs Doctor
Who)

If there are any other PBS stations that can be seen in Canada, let me know.
Some fans in Central/South America have a PBS station too (WNET 13 New York,
NY), in case anyone down there wants to rally WNET to air Doctor Who
transcontinentally. Maybe next week we'll do a list of PBS stations that
border Mexico.

Australian fans - UKTV is only airing Doctor Who for another month or so,
till they finish the series, and then it goes on hiatus. Hopefully it'll be
back after a couple months rest (it's taken vacations twice before), but you
can never be too sure. Don't miss the show while you have it.

South American Doctor Who fans - Uniseries http://www.uniseries.com.ar/ is
now airing Doctor Who Sundays at 9:30PM Argentina Time. 1 episode a week.
Odds on Tom Baker episodes, but that's the point - we don't know. If you
have Uniseries, watch Sunday's episode, then send me an e-mail and let us
all know what you're getting down there. Also, are you getting it in
English, Spanish, or English with Spanish subtitles? Are they retitling the
stories? The world of Doctor Who fandom wants to know.

San Jose, CA Who fans - in memoriam of John Nathan-Turner, KTEH is squeezing
an interview they once did with him into the Sunday night lineup. To catch
the interview, tune in at 10:50PM Sunday instead of the usual 11PM. Doctor
Who will start at 11:15PM.

Pittsburgh, PA - WQEX 16 was supposed to be back on the air by now, so I am
listing it as if it is. However, I can't find any proof as to whether it is
back or not. WQED's website doesn't mention WQEX, so I won't get news that
way. If you get WQEX 16 over the air (not by cable), I'd be curious to know
when it returns. WQED took WQEX off the air a couple of weeks back to
install a new antenna which will let them put WQED-DT and WQEX-DT on the
air. Since WQEX 16 has aired a complete simulcast of WQED since November
1997 (while serving the same area), cable subscribers were seeing WQED 13 on
WQEX 16's cable slot, and probably not noticing any difference. Some areas
may receive WQEX more clearly than WQED over the air, so over the air
viewers in those areas would be most interested in WQEX's status.

And remember, if you live in the US, and you're among the 82 Million
households with Sci-Fi http://www.scifi.com/ on your cable or satellite -
the 1996 Doctor Who movie airs one more time on Sci-Fi's current contract -
June 30 at 5PM Eastern Time. Look at last week's column or use Sci-Fi's
schedulebot to adjust for your local time or feed.

do not indicate which episode is airing. It *should* be part 1 of The Ark In

production order in recent years. If WCNY takes that course of action,
you're looking at part 1 of The Sontaran Experiment. Can someone tell me
what happens there?

Passing on an alert from Dan Harris, the man behind the US Doctor Who themed
cruises.
------------------

I need a little bit of help for a project I'm currently working on.  I need
to
know the name or names of the people at each PBS station still broadcasting
Doctor Who that do your local pledge drives for Who, the guys who come on
the
air & ask you to call in & pledge, in other words, the person who's
generally
the only one at each station who actually LIKES the show & gives a damn that
it
stays on the air in your town.  I already know who these people are on the
following stations:  WQED-Pittsburgh, KTEH-San Jose, KERA-Dallas,
WCET-Cincinnatti, WYIN-Indiana/Chicago cable, and Maryland Public
Television.
If you know the names of anyone like this at any other stations than those
listed above, please e-mail me privately off the newsgroup with the
information.  Your help will be much appreciated.

Welcome to the final Friday edition of the weekly guide to Doctor Who on TV.

No, This Week is not being discontinued. But I've decided to change the
publication day. Effective May 22, This Week In Doctor Who will come out on
*Wednesdays*. I'm hoping this will make it easier for me to produce the
column, and avoid the clutter of distractions that potential readers get on
Fridays. So, remember - look for This Week on Wednesdays, instead of
Fridays. Unless you live in Australia or New Zealand - you probably won't
see it till Thursdays, instead of Saturdays.

Been a fairly quiet week for TV Doctor Who, so remember:

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they airing?

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use
the schedulebot to adjust for local time.

Canada - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ will start airing new *to them*
episodes of Doctor Who on Friday, May 24, beginning with Horror Of Fang
Rock. If you've stopped watching Doctor Who on BBC Kids, you can start
again.

Radio/Internet - You can read it right below here, but in case anyone stops
reading at the Additions and Corrections line - the Interstellar
Transmissions radio show http://www.scifiradioguy.com/ is devoting their May
24th show to John Nathan-Turner (1947-2002), the longtime Doctor Who
producer. Sounds like it is going to be a very good show. Expect a guest
list in next week's column. Since it will be broadcast via Media Player on
the web as well as on 2 US radio stations, you should be able to tune in if
you want to. Friday 7PM Eastern/6PM Central. For other time zones:
5PM Mountain 4PM Pacific 3PM Alaska 1PM Hawaii 8PM Atlantic
8:30PM Newfoundland Midnight UK 1AM Central Europe Sat 11AM New Zealand
Sat 9AM Australia Eastern Standard Sat 7AM Perth Australia
Tune into tonight's show to make certain the times are right. If you live in
another time zone, use these to figure out when it is airing in your local
time.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - May 22, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television. Yes, May 22 is a
Wednesday. This Week is now going out on Wednesdays.

Last week's column (the final Friday edition) may have confused a few
people. It was the second edition in a row to be called Vol 5, No 19 (should
have been Vol 5, No 20 - forgot to check that). And, in an effort to save
time and declutter the column a little, I tried removing http:// from the
web links. Guess what - in some places the links worked, in some they
didn't. On the Yahoo Group or at the Varos site
http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/ , *most* of the links still worked. On
Outpost Gallifrey http://www.gallifreyone.com , the links didn't work.
http:// is back in front of all web links to ensure that the largest number
of computer systems can recognize the links.

Australia - Jason Fraser of the Varos site http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/
has now confirmed the ending dates for Doctor Who's current run on UKTV. The
weekday run ends with "Survival" episode 3 on Thursday, 6 June, with "Doctor
Who" (1996) airing from 11:30PM to 1AM on 7 June. The usual Sunday reruns on
9 June will be pre-empted by an Only Fools Or Horses marathon. On 16 June,
Survival will air at 7AM and 1AM, with Doctor Who (1996) at 8:30AM and
2:30AM, ending the weekend run. UKTV took time off from airing Doctor Who
after their first run through the series in 1998, and again after a best-of
run finished in late 1999. One *assumes* that UKTV is going to take another
break of a few months, and then bring the show back again. As always, time
will tell.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing?

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use
the schedulebot to adjust for local time.

USA - My apologies for doubting WCNY/W59AU Syracuse, Utica
http://www.wcny.org - they actually *are* airing the Tom Baker episodes in
the right order. Since a number of stations have gotten confused on the
order to air episodes in, and WCNY seems unwilling to actually *say* which
episodes are airing on their website, or let TV Guide online
http://www.tvguide.com or Zap2It.com know, I have to be suspicious. So,
where the last two columns had "The Ark In Space/The Sontaran Experiment"
listed, WCNY was actually airing "The Ark In Space".

Canada - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ will start airing new *to them*
episodes of Doctor Who on Friday, May 24, beginning with Horror Of Fang
Rock. If you've stopped watching Doctor Who on BBC Kids, you can start
again.

Radio/Internet - You can read it right below here, but in case anyone stops
reading at the Additions and Corrections line - the Interstellar
Transmissions radio show http://hometown.aol.com/scifiradioguy/ is devoting
their May 24th show to John Nathan-Turner (1947-2002), the longtime Doctor
Who producer. Since it will be broadcast via Media Player on the web as well
as on 2 US radio stations, you should be able to tune in if you want to.
Friday 7PM Eastern/6PM Central. For other time zones:
5PM Mountain 4PM Pacific 3PM Alaska 1PM Hawaii 8PM Atlantic
8:30PM Newfoundland Midnight UK 1AM Central Europe Sat 11AM New Zealand
Sat 9AM Australia Eastern Standard Sat 7AM Perth Australia
If you live in another time zone, use these to figure out when it is airing
in your local time. I have verified that all the times listed above are
correct.

Additions and corrections are welcome at

bfelliott3 on AOL IM, or thebfe on Yahoo Messenger. And now, the listings:

RADIO/INTERNET:

(Editor's note - the web links for Interstellar Transmissions have confused
a number of readers. WWNN's link in particular is causing confusion. Click
on it, and you get pictures of a bunch of apples, one of them stirring
applesauce, along with a spiel about how the radio station is devoted to
health. No reference to Joey's show at all. There's also no reference to
Interstellar Transmissions on WBYU's website. Joey's show is classified as
"brokered time" - he purchases the rights to use the hour. Since he is
paying the stations instead of the stations paying him, the stations don't
bother to mention his show on their websites. But it is airing on the
stations, and you can hear it on the Media Player streaming audio.)

WWNN AM1470 Pompano Beach/Boca Raton, FL (Miami/West Palm Beach, FL)

Joey Reynolds' weekly radio show for sci-fi news and interviews, broadcast
live over the internet on all 3 websites listed above (different feeds, so
if one doesn't work try another one). This week - a memorial of John
Nathan-Turner. Expect an interview with Eric Luskin, the host of several
1980s US Doctor Who documentaries, including "Doctor Who's Who's Who" and
"Doctor Who: Then And Now". Also a panel discussion on JNT, with Dan Harris,
Charles Martin, Benjamin Elliott, and others taking part. And more.

(Editor's note 2 - not all computers work with all webstreams. If you are
interested in listening to the Interstellar Transmissions show on the
internet I strongly advise you to visit all 3 websites listed above at some
point *before* the show airs. Check each site's audio stream. Find out which
one sounds and works best on your machine. You'll thank yourself Friday
night/afternoon/Saturday morning - whatever time it is where you are when
the show airs.)

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television. A quiet week, but a
few matters to bring up.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing?

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use
the schedulebot to adjust for local time.

RADIO - On May 24th, the Interstellar Transmissions radio show
http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/ devoted its broadcast to
remembering John Nathan-Turner, longtime producer of Doctor Who. It was a
fond farewell to the final and longest lasting producer from the show's
original 26 year TV run. If you missed the show, I have good news. A
"director's cut" of the broadcast, including a tribute by Dan Harris which
there was not time to include, is now available to listen to in MP3 format
at http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/52402.mp3 .

USA - The June pledge drives are underway in much of the US. Your station
might start Doctor Who late, air extra Doctor Who programming, or pre-empt
it all together. All times approximate for stations in pledge mode.

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television. A quiet week for
the Doctor, with many US stations pre-empting him for pledge drives, and not

Doctor Who is now on the air in Poland.

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

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

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

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

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

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - June 12, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

Big Doctor Who TV news this week is in Poland. Yes, Poland. European
Country - slightly east of Germany. TELE 5, a digital channel in Poland,
recently picked up Polish-dubbed Tom Baker episodes. 2 episodes a weekend,
Saturdays and Sundays at 9:30AM Central European Time (CET). TELE 5's
website is http://www.tele5.pl/ . I'm not sure if you can pick it up over
the air, but it is available unscrambled (in digital) on satellite. ASTRA
(orbital position: 19,2 degrees East) 10.832GHz, horizontal, 27500Bytes

There is apparently a TELE 5 in Germany. Do not get it confused with this
TELE 5 - they are different.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing?

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use
the schedulebot to adjust for local time.

USA - WLED-DT 48 Littleton, NH joins the ranks of Doctor Who affiliates
broadcasting in digital. It is one of the stations of New Hampshire Public
TV. WENH-DT 57 Durham/Manchester is already on the air, and WEKW-DT 49
Keene, NH will go on the air in the future. At this time, New Hampshire
Public TV's digital schedule is different from its analog schedule, so
Doctor Who is not yet on the digital stations up there.

All the broadcast stations airing Doctor Who in the US are public
broadcasters - public TV stations have until May 2003 before they are
required to have digital signals on the air. Commercial TV stations had till
May 2002 to get digital signals on the air, and hundreds of them missed the
deadline, throwing into serious question the timetable for US TV's
transition to digital broadcasting. On the current timetable, all the analog
TV stations are supposed to be turned off in 2006, provided 85% of TV
viewers can get the digital signals. Then the digital channels are to move
around until they all are between channels 7 and 51. Channels
2,3,4,5,6,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69 are intended
to be taken off the TV band and given to other technologies.

AUSTRALIA - We bid a reluctant goodbye to UKTV in Australia after this
week's edition. After this Sunday's reruns of Survival and Doctor Who
(1996), UKTV is resting the show. UKTV rested the show after its initial
cable run ended in 1998, from late 1999 to early 2000 after a best-of run,
and rested the weeknight airings for a few months early this year when they
got too far ahead of the weekend airings. Therefore, we are confident that
Doctor Who will return to Australia after this break. As always, you can
keep track on the status of Australian Doctor Who at the VAROS website
http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/ , run by Jason Fraser. Jason is reporting
on his website that he is working on tracking down Doctor Who's entire
Australian broadcast history, and hopes to post it on his website in the
coming months.

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

Doctor Who broadcast Online - sort of. BBCi's Doctor Who site has put some
of the recently discovered New Zealand censor clips on their website in
RealPlayer format. The clips are from episodes 2,4,+5 from The Web Of Fear
and episode 5 of The Wheel In Space. To see the clips, go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/news/02061701.shtml .

CANADA - Fans of Doctor Who on BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ , take note.
Beginning Saturday, 6 July, the weekend omnibus Doctor Who broadcast times
will change slightly. Stories will still air at 3:30PM Saturdays and
Sundays, but the repeats will move to 10:30PM instead of 10PM. Weekday
airing times remain unaffected. The weekday episodes are now finishing
season 15 (new to BBC Kids) and are about to begin season 16 (also new to
BBC Kids). Their current package runs through The Power Of Kroll (5th story
in the 6 story Key To Time series), and BBC Kids will go back to season 12
with Robot on Monday 29 July. The weekend stories are in season 14 right
now, and will enter season 15 afterwards.

USA - Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ will reach more Iowans soon.
http://www.100000watts.com/ is reporting that KQCT 36 Davenport, IA,
currently a low-power repeater for Quad Cities Public TV, will become a full
power repeater for IPTV. Exact date unknown - and it is not mentioned on
IPTV's web site. KQCT's digital signal will be on channel 34 when it finally
goes on air, for those with digital TVs.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing?

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern. Use
the schedulebot to adjust for local time. Let's get Sci-Fi some record
ratings for this third airing of the movie and really confuse them.

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

Since this column focuses on TV Doctor Who, other goings on in the Doctor
Who universe don't usually get discussed here much.  However, I think we
should stop for a minute and remember Michael Palmer. Michael Palmer was a
Doctor Who fan in his mid 30s, who for the last several years has helped
recreate the early years of Doctor Who for we later generations of fans who
otherwise might miss out. By himself, and later with the JV Dr Who
Reconstructions team http://www.telesnaps.com/ , Michael created telesnap
reconstructions of many of the lost Hartnell and Troughton stories. You take
the photos, telesnaps, surviving clips, and fan audio recordings from the
lost stories, lovingly put them together, and create the closest thing to
the original episodes that we will ever see unless the episodes turn up
again. Michael died after a long illness last week, and will be missed.

POLAND - TELE 5's obscure listings enabled errors to slip through for
several weeks. TELE 5 skipped the last 2 episodes of Genesis Of The Daleks.
Also, they are airing the stories in production order, so Revenge Of The
Cybermen aired weeks ago, and they've now gotten through Terror Of The
Zygons. We still don't know what the Polish titles for the episodes are.
Thanks to our Polish Doctor Who fan for keeping track of this. If anyone
knows of a good program which translates Polish websites, let me know.

CANADA - Fans of Doctor Who on BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ , take note.
Beginning Saturday, 6 July, the weekend omnibus Doctor Who broadcast times
will change slightly. Stories will still air at 3:30PM Saturdays and
Sundays, but the repeats will move to 10:30PM instead of 10PM. Weekday
airing times remain unaffected.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing? And starting 7 July, Doctor Who will also air Sunday mornings,
bringing it to 3 weekly broadcasts.

USA - The 1996 Doctor Who Movie (starring Paul McGann) is airing on the
Sci-Fi Channel http://www.scifi.com/ on Sunday, June 30 at 5PM Eastern.
Sci-Fi's contract for the movie was to air it 3 times in one year (July
2001-June 2002). Unless they renewed the contract, this will be the third
and final Sci-Fi airing, and the movie is available to other channels and
networks again. As of this writing, clips from the movie are being used in
promos for this Sunday's movie marathon (movies based on TV shows). Due to
multiple time zones and two feeds of the channel, 5PM actually means:
East Feed - 5PM EDT, 4PM CDT, 3PM MDT, 2PM PDT, 1PM Alaska, 11AM Hawaii
West Feed - 6PM MDT, 5PM PDT, 4PM Alaska, 2PM Hawaii, 7PM CDT, 8PM EDT

somewhat more alive than advertised, and forces the TARDIS to land in San
Francisco on December 30, 1999, where the Doctor is gunned down. And that's
where his troubles really begin. Intended as a continuation of the original
TV series, this movie was hoping to launch a new series if the US ratings
were high enough. Alas, they weren't, so a TV show has not to date occured.
It has resulted in the 8th Doctor now being used for the current BBC Doctor

Sat 11:35PM CDT "Revelation Of The Daleks" 4 pt version, pts 3+4
All things come to an end. One could be forgiven for mistaking this to be
the final Doctor Who story. The air of death and doom, two Dalek armies, an
apocalyptic bomb, tense music, and the BBC announced just weeks before the
first broadcast that Doctor Who would not be produced during the following
season (1985-1986). Doctor Who would return in the fall of 1986. Keep an eye
on the DJ character - I'm certain that one of the costumes he wears is a
dead ringer for the 7th Doctor's costume - a pure coincidence, since the 7th
Doctor wouldn't even be cast, much less costumed, for another 2 years.

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

CANADA - Fans of Doctor Who on BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ , take note.
Beginning Saturday, 6 July, the weekend omnibus Doctor Who broadcast times
will change slightly. Stories will still air at 3:30PM Saturdays and
Sundays, but the repeats will move to 10:30PM instead of 10PM. Weekday
airing times remain unaffected.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing? And starting 7 July, Doctor Who will also air Sunday mornings at
9:30AM, bringing it to 3 weekly broadcasts.

USA - A couple of weeks ago, Dish Network began giving some of its receivers
the ability to display local TV channels on their local channel numbers.
Most Dish Network subscribers are still getting their local channels in the
8000 block. We are listing both channel numbers now, like we do for DirecTV.

AUSTRALIA - Jason Fraser, administrator of the Varos Doctor Who website in
Australia, has redesigned it a bit. The new website is at
http://www.varos.net/drwho . His site now has a complete history of UKTV's
Doctor Who broadcasts from 1996 to the present. Coming soon is a complete
broadcast history of Doctor Who on Australian Television from the 1960s on.
There is still a mirror of my column on the site.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - July 10, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television. This Week In Doctor
Who is turning 4 years old in the next few days. The original edition went
out on July 13, 1998, posted only to the rec.arts.drwho newsgroup (but don't
hold that against it). Amazing how time passes. Don't know if I'll do
anything unusual with the column next week to celebrate the anniversary - it
would have to be new and interesting.

Last week, I got e-mails questioning why I did not report a story regarding
the possibility of a new Doctor Who series in 2003 starring Anthony Stewart
Head (Taster's Choice commercials, Giles on Buffy The Vampire Slayer,
well-liked singer). The reason - the story was bogus. Someone took reports
that David Fury (who works on "Buffy" and "Angel") had been asked by the BBC
to look into how Doctor Who could be revived, borrowed some quotes from the
press releases when Anthony Stewart Head guest starred in Death Comes To
Time and some Big Finish audios, and created a rumor. For anyone who still
believes that Anthony Stewart Head has been hired to be the Doctor, go to
http://www.gallifreyone.com/ , click on the News Page, scroll down to the
June 29th news to read the real report (the BBC chatted with David Fury at
one point), then scroll back up to the July 2nd explanation debunking the
Anthony Stewart Head rumor.

This Week In Doctor Who handles reports of possible new series and
negotiations on a case by case basis. In my view, unless we clearly are
getting a new series (or a new rerun package), and the deal has been signed,
it is probably counterproductive to wade into the matter. Frankly, if
serious negotiations were underway, the type of people who would be involved
would probably keep it secret until deals were signed. Anyone who would be
aware of such negotiations would be held to strict secrecy, and could not
report on their information. I don't know if Doctor Who will ever have a new
series or a big syndication deal again, but if it does it will come as a
burglar in the night, when we least expect it, with all the contracts
already signed and notarized.

USA - Texas Doctor Who fans might feel rather confused by KERA 13
http://www.kera.org/ by now. In the past week, they moved their repeater in
Wichita Falls, TX from 24 to 44 and changed its call letters from K24AD to
K44FI. Also, KERA's website indicates that they are now running Red Dwarf in
place of Doctor Who on their Friday night lineup. Since I sincerely doubt
that Red Dwarf episodes run 2 hours, 20 minutes or 1 hour, 35 minutes long,
and Zap2it.com still has the Doctor Who stories indicated, I am assuming
that this is an error on the web page which will be fixed.

USA - Iowa Public TV fans in the Quad Cities area (Davenport, IA;
Burlington, IA; Rock Island, IL; Moline, IL) will soon be able to see Doctor
Who either clearer or for the first time. KQCT 36, currently a rather low
power Davenport, IA repeater of KQPT 24 (Quad Cities Public TV), has a
construction permit to go to full power, and approval from the FCC to be
transferred to the Iowa Public Broadcasting Board. When it is full power, it
will be an IPTV station, and the second IPTV signal on channel 36. If you
have a digital TV in the Quad Cities, then should they keep up with FCC
regulations KQCT-DT will be on channel 34 by May 2003 when noncommercial
stations are *supposed* to have digital signals on the air. There is no
mention of any of this on IPTV's http://www.iptv.org or KQPT's
http://www.kqpt.org websites, nor any clue when KQCT will join IPTV (and
probably change its call letters). Info gleaned from the resources at
http://www.100000watts.com/ and http://www.radio-info.com/ , both worth
visiting.

USA - WCET 48 http://www.wcet.org/ Cincinnati, OH has been at lower power
lately while they put up their digital antenna. Maryland Public TV
http://www.mpt.org/ has also been telling viewers of WMPT 22 and WMPB 67 to
expect periods of lower power while their digital antennas go up. As a
general rule, setting up the digital transmitters has usually required the
analog channels to either operate at reduced power or go off the air for
periods of time. Cable/satellite viewers frequently don't notice this, but
those watching over the air do. Don't be surprised when/if your Doctor Who
station becomes hard to see for a while.

South America - Still need help from someone who has Uniseries
http://www.uniseries.com.ar down there. What Doctor Who episodes are they
airing?

USA - A couple of weeks ago, Dish Network began giving some of its receivers
the ability to display local TV channels on their local channel numbers.
Most Dish Network subscribers are still getting their local channels in the
8000 block. We are listing both channel numbers now, like we do for DirecTV.

AUSTRALIA - Jason Fraser, administrator of the Varos Doctor Who website in
Australia, has redesigned it a bit. The new website is at
http://www.varos.net/drwho . His site now has a complete history of UKTV's
Doctor Who broadcasts from 1996 to the present. Coming soon is a complete
broadcast history of Doctor Who on Australian Television from the 1960s on.
There is still a mirror of my column on the site.

Sat 7:05-9AM BST "The Sun Makers" movie
A classic story which you can also get in episodic format from BBC Video (no
way they've deleted it yet, surely.) The 4th Doctor and Leela take on big
corporations and the evils of high taxes in a bi-partisan satire
particularly appropriate with the lunatic taxes of today and the corruption
of companies coming out daily. Don't laugh cause it's just US firms. Clinton
style integrity went worldwide. I can think of at least one British company
which has clearly been cooking the books, has been firing all the employees
they can find, and is probably run by the Collector himself. Is The Sun
Makers actually a prediction of our near future? I hope not - their dress
sense is terrible.
Sun 7:20-9AM BST "Underworld" movie
The Time Lords helped out a race many years ago. The folks they helped
betrayed them, stole technology, and mostly destroyed themselves. The Time
Lords ought to feel annoyed - instead they feel guilty. And the survivors of
the evil race are now about to pull a guilt trip on the Doctor to help them
out of a jam.

Cassandra warns the Trojans not to accept that wretched horse, but no one

King John's one busy boy - not only is he signing the Magna Carta in London,

The Tribe of the Free decides to liberate the dwellers in the Caves from
Drathro, the powerful robot - whether they like it or not. And the Time
Lords want to blame the Doctor for this. Now really, people. Revolution is a
fact of human life. Thomas Jefferson wrote that "A little Revolution now and
then is a good thing". Then again - Time Lords don't seem interested in the
opinions of Americans.

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

BBCI http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/ has announced a schedule for webcasting
another new Doctor Who story. "Real Time", a 6th Doctor story guest-starring
the Cybermen, will air as 6 10 minute episodes starting Friday 2 August. 1
episode will go online each Friday. Each episode will be available
illustrated for people with faster internet connections, like Death Comes To
Time was. Real Time is produced by Big Finish, the company that makes 5th,
6th, 7th, and 8th Doctor audios for CD release, along with Bernice
Summerfield and Sarah Jane Smith CDs. Colin Baker will be playing the 6th
Doctor.

Pittsburgh Doctor Who fans - take note. The WQED/WQEX simulcast will be
ending soon after close to 5 years. WQED 13 http://www.wqed.org/ has finally
gotten permission from the FCC to sell WQEX 16 to a commercial broadcaster.
WQEX will probably change its call letters and start its own schedule later
this year. So, if you have chosen to watch Doctor Who on WQEX 16, you will
soon need to remember to tune in to WQED 13. If you always watch the show on
WQED 13 anyway, you won't notice a change.

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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.

Sat 7:10-9AM BST "The Pirate Planet" movie
Written by Douglas Adams. The search for the 2nd segment of the Key To Time
leads the 4th Doctor, Romana, and K9 to the right place, but the wrong
planet. What happened to Callufrax?
Sun 7:10-9AM BST "The Stones Of Blood" movie
The Black Guardian's sabotage breeds distrust while the 4th Doctor and
Romana look for the 3rd segment of the Key To Time on a forgotten backwater
called Earth. The search brings them in contact with a controversial stone
circle and a headstrong female scientist.

During World War II, code breakers in rural England sought to break the
German codes to help the Allies know what the Axis powers were planning.
However, one of these code breaker groups is being used for a different,
much more sinister purpose. The 7th Doctor and Ace may be the only force
between the Sins of the Past, the Desires of the Present, and the Price of
the Future.

The 5th segment of the Key To Time will have to wait - the 4th Doctor and
Romana have to escape the clutches of Swamp people who want them dead, and
avoid methane miners who want them dead. And it seems that someone has
awakened Kroll, a sea creature of incredible size, who doesn't care if
you're dead or alive, as long as he can eat you. BBC Kids ends the current
batch of new episodes with a bit of a cliffhanger - they aren't airing The
Armageddon Factor, which concludes the Key To Time season. Maybe next time.
Sat "The Invasion Of Time" all 6 pts
The 4th Doctor becomes President of Gallifrey just in time for an alien
invasion. Leela discovers love. K9 discovers a love for blowing things up.
And Borusa develops a brain. Take the telephone off the hook, turn off any
instant messenger programs on your computer, and sit back for Doctor Who.
Sun "The Ribos Operation" all 4 pts
After some strong-arming by the White Guardian, the 4th Doctor and new
companion Romana begin a quest for the segments of the Key To Time. The
first segment is hidden on the planet Ribos, where two rogues are engaged in
a daring plot to make money selling a planet they don't own to an insane
military commander.
Mon-Tue "Robot" pts 1 - 2 of 4
Newly regenerated, the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) is a man whose identity is

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - July 31, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

North American Doctor Who fans with DVD players get two more Region 1 DVD
titles on Tuesday August 6 - Tomb Of The Cybermen and The Ark In Space. The
titles have already come out in the UK and Australia to much acclaim. Lots
of extras, great picture, and you find yourself wishing that BBC Worldwide
Americas would strike a deal to use these masters to replace their old
broadcast prints. Apart from being NTSC, the two titles should be exactly
like the UK releases. Well, almost exactly. The US version of The Ark In
Space has the DaSilva introductions as an additional extra.

What are the DaSilva introductions? Last summer, with help from TJ Lubinsky,
This Week In Doctor Who did a special feature on DaSilva to tie into the DVD
release of The Robots Of Death. In February, This Week did a second article
focusing on the introductions for The Ark In Space. We are reprinting both
articles today for members of the This Week mailing list. For everybody
else, you can read the main article at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/110 and the Ark In
Space article at

BBCI http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/ has announced a schedule for webcasting
another new Doctor Who story. "Real Time", a 6th Doctor story guest-starring
the Cybermen, will air as 6 10 minute episodes starting Friday 2 August. 1
episode will go online each Friday. Each episode will be available
illustrated for people with faster internet connections, like Death Comes To
Time was. Real Time is produced by Big Finish, the company that makes 5th,
6th, 7th, and 8th Doctor audios for CD release, along with Bernice
Summerfield and Sarah Jane Smith CDs. Colin Baker will be playing the 6th
Doctor.

CANADA - First, the good news for BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ fans. The
Armageddon Factor, the final part of the Key To Time series, and skipped in
their most recent run of new episodes, will be airing in September in the
weeknight slots. Not sure yet how many episodes (if any) beyond Armageddon
have been ordered. Now, the bad news. BBC Kids is cutting back on their
weekend Who airings come September. Beginning Sunday 1 September, the 3:30PM
EDT complete story broadcasts are discontinued, and the 10:30PM EDT complete
story broadcasts move to 2AM EDT. No time changes are indicated for the
weeknight airings.

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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 Howard Da Silva Story
by Benjamin F. Elliott
with TJ Lubinsky

Warner Video is releasing "The Robots Of Death" on DVD in September 2001.
All the extras from the BBC release are included. But an extra bit of
mastering has been done, and an additional extra (for North America only)
will be on the disc - Howard Da Silva's Introductions at the beginning and
end of the episodes.will be on the "featurette", along with the unedited BBC
half-hour versions (or as the American Dr. Who syndicators call them
"mini-series"). The Howard Da Silva segments for Robots Of Death will be
digitally preserved on the discs.

Howard Da Silva? Who on Earth is Howard Da Silva?

Doctor Who fans who did not live in the United States and parts of Canada,
or didn't discover the series until the late 1980s or later usually have no
idea who Howard Da Silva is. Personally, I grew up with no knowledge of him.
As I write this piece in August 2001, I have never seen a complete example
of his narrative Doctor Who work. The obvious reaction to the news that his
introductions will be included on the US DVDs is - who is he, and why should
I care? Almost by definition, an extra is something you can skip completely
if you don't want to see it, so it's better to have extras for those who
want to see them. But
why Howard Da Silva's introductions??

I spoke with the producer of the Da Silva DVD bonus material on The Robots
Of Death (TJ Lubinsky) to find out the story behind Howard Da Silva, the
narrated versions of Doctor Who in the USA, and Da Silva's segments getting
onto this DVD.

Well, Howard Da Silva lived from 1909 to 1986. (For perspective, William
Hartnell was born in 1908.) He was a veteran American character actor and
voiceover artist. One of those people who you heard all the time but never
knew the person's name. In 1978, events would cause him to get involved in
the world of Doctor Who in a small way ...

In June 1978, the head of the syndication department of Time/Life television
chose 3 TV shows to syndicate in the US for fall 1978 from a list of
possibilities. Two of the were BBC productions, per their contract via
Time/Life Films:
1) Monty Python
2) Dave Allen At Large
3) Great American Dream Machine (non-BBC one)

And they needed a show with 98 episodes to round out the "syndication strip
package". Doctor Who (the first 98 Tom Baker episodes) was thrown in the mix
to fill out the first-run syndication offer.

Doctor Who was deemed to be a show that could have commercial syndication
potential for the fall 1978 multi-show package launch.

The Hand Of Fear was quickly shipped over and "test marketed" as a preview
story to acquaint potential stations to purchase Doctor Who. It aired in
movie format in June 1978 on WOR 9 New York, NY (a superstation then
available in many US cable households) and WPTV 5 West Palm Beach, FL, an
NBC station. The Hand Of Fear test garnered good ratings, and 92 stations
(commercial and PBS) had cleared the package by early August for a late
September/early October launch. But there were problems. The biggies:

1) Some viewers and many station programmers were confused by the nature of
the show. Who is this alien? What is that telephone booth? Why did the
assistant leave at the end of the story? Some of the British characteristics
apparently
confused station managers as well.

2) Episodes were too long. The show's being sold on a cash basis - stations
have to sell the commercial time themselves. Enough commercial time to
justify the show's expense, and generate profit revenues.

3) Where's the first 11 seasons of the show? Where's the backstory for the
characters? Why are we picking up with Year 12?

4) It's less than 2 months before the show goes on the air, and not all the
episodes have been standard converted for editing and distribution for the
US yet. Satellite systems are not yet commonly available to send episodes to
stations in 1978, so episodes must be dubbed are shipped to 92 stations on
bulky 2" quad tape.

13 Jon Pertwee stories had been syndicated in movie format to PBS stations
by Time-Life in 1976-1977, and they had seen what happened before when the
questions had not been resolved (the show performed badly and virtually all
the stations dropped it). There was no reason to believe that a similar fate
would not befall Tom Baker now, unless the episodes could be packaged to win
over the station ad execs and more accessible to an audience unfamiliar with
the show.

Given the time constraints of the series launch, several hard choices were
made:

To help the show make sense, a "name valued" narrator would be hired to
introduce and close each episode. To fit in the narration segments, 70's
style tv syndication packaging elements, and get the shows within commercial
guidelines circa 1978, all episodes over 23 minutes, 56 seconds long were
cut as close to to that length as possible.

Though mostly the cuts were mostly minor incidental establishing shots,
sometimes dialog was trimmed ... sometimes whole scenes had to be cut (Tom
Baker trying on outfits in Robot 1), sometimes establishing shots without
dialogue, sometimes British aspects that they thought would not translate
well. The effort was made in what time they had to try to keep the episodes
from being hacked beyond recognition. However, the goal was to "Americanize"
the episodes for the broadcast potential commercial audience possible.

Each episode would now begin with opening credits, followed by an "American
named" narrator teasing key scenes and storylines for the upcoming episode
(for episode 1). This was designed to get typically short attention mass
commercial audiences hooked, to stay through the first 2:02 commercial
break, or in the case of continuing storylines (Episodes 2 and on) recapping
what the viewer may have missed if they didn't see the previous episode(s).

After the first commercial break, the original episode would begin (For Part
1) or continue (Episodes 2 and On).

There were 2 additional commercial breaks in the middle. When the
cliffhanger came up, the closing theme would begin, with the Dr.Who logo
flying down the vortex from the opening sequence and fading to back just
before revealing the story title.

After the final internal commercial break, the American narrator would
preview the following episode, followed by the closing credits. The ending
credits would also have to be modified to credit the American actor/narrator
in accordance with U.S. Talent Union guild guidelines.

The closing preview would hopefully tease the viewer to see the next
episode. (Keeping them tuned in and coming back from week-to-week) Final
episodes of the story would not need a full preview of the next episode, so
less to nothing would have to be cut from those episodes. Robot had extra
narration through the episodes to explain to viewers the concepts of
regeneration, the TARDIS, etc. The Sontaran Experiment, Genesis Of The
Daleks, and Revenge Of The Cybermen had a few
extra bits of voiceover material after the first commercial break to try to
clarify the Ark In Space story arc. The break formatting would be
standardized, 4 internal breaks per episode, with the exception of the
concluding episode of a story arc or "mini-series", where there would be no
ending tease added (meaning the storiy-arc's or individual 23 mini-series
could stand alone - in theory - even out of order). Given the need to
bicycle tapes and dub copies from station to station, the likelihood of
episodes getting unsequenced was reduced by not forward promoting the next
"mini-series" or stoy arc.

It's August 1978. Less than 2 months till the episodes have to be available
to 92 stations. Not all the episodes are over here in America to be cut yet.
Narrations have been put together using notes the BBC provided on the
stories. (Note the similarities between the description on the back of The
Robots Of Death DVD and Howard's scripts from 23 years ago).

One afternoon the people at Time/Life call in Howard Da Silva, who was in
town promoting stage performances after the movie release of 1776 (Howard
played Ben Franklin in the famed musical), Under contract and in-session to
voice some documentaries for Time/Life Films - Howard agreed to voice the
narrations for all 98 episodes (over 200 voice-overs) in just 4 hours, the
time remaining on the recording session.

With no pictures, videos or clips provided or available to work with, or
review for inspiration..... Just a script. Howard was annoyed that there was
no pronunciation guide, which could help him at least avoid embarrassing
gaffes. (Think about it, how many non Dr. Who fans can pronounce Mandragora,
Sontaran or Dalek - but amazingly, with no coaching he did, perfectly.)

As it was, in the 98 episodes he recorded "blind" in 4 hours there were only
two pronounciation goofs - Styggron got pronounced "STI-gron" and Doctor
Solon became Doctor Salon.

The afternoon session was the only time Howard Da Silva would ever be
involved with Doctor Who, apart from one time he and his wife saw "Robot"
Part 1 on WOR, and thought the excessive narration was..."too much".

The episodes premiered in fall 1978 on a mixture of commercial and PBS
stations. The most prominent commercial station was WOR 9 New York, which
aired 2 episodes every Saturday at 10AM Eastern Time for several years in
much of the country. (WOR liked to air episodes "off-cycle" - ex: ep 4 of
one story followed by ep 1 of another, to keep people coming back for more.)
WPBT 2 in Miami, FL and WGBH 2 in Boston, MA were prominent early PBS
stations on board with Doctor Who. PBS stations in this period usually ran
promos for other PBS shows (like Nova) in the breaks provided for
commercials, though sometimes they would just go to a slide for the :15
second black spaces included every 7 minutes or so intended for commercial
insertions. Also, commercial stations were likely to run 1 or 2 episodes a
week, while PBS stations often ran the show weekdays in the early evening.
(This was before the Newshour was one hour long, when it was the 30 minute
McNeil/Lehrer report.)

It was very common for PBS stations to air commercial shows in the late 70s,
and still occurs on occasion these days. Star Trek: The Next Generation,
Little House On The Prairie, St. Elsewhere, and I Spy have aired on
individual PBS stations in recent years. Commercial shows could and were
pledged like any other shows.

Time/Life was not given certain information that might have made it easier
to air the package. For instance, the BBC didn't tell them the proper
episode order - they only had alpha codes.

Time/Life aired the show in production order in lieu of information. Season
12, for instance, went Robot, The Sontaran Experiment, The Ark In Space,
Revenge Of The Cybermen, Genesis Of The Daleks - which must have made the
stories and Howard's extra narrations on the story arc a tad confusing.
Seasons 13 and 15 also had stories out of order due to the airing order, but
fortunately there were no story arcs there to confuse. (Except K9 appearing
in Image Of The Fendahl, then being introduced in The Invisible Enemy. This
was presumably a misreading of the codes in some manner, since even in
production order K9's first story comes before any other K9 stories.) Must
have been a very different way to experience Doctor Who.

By early 1981, Time/Life noticed that their plan to launch Doctor Who on
commercial TV was only semi-successful. Howard's narrations and the previews
had succeeded in helping build a fanbase and commercial base. New viewers,
with no previous history with the series accepted them as a part of the
show, with virtually no clue that they were not part of the original
episodes. But the show only performed so-so on most commercial stations
airing it. Ratings were below expectations. On the other hand, it was a
large pledge success, pulling in money hand over fist to PBS stations that
ran it.

So the new potential PBS market was exploited by the Time/Life sales staff,
with an agressive marketing plan to re-launch Tom's first 98 "now with
"extra material" previously unbroadcast in the U.S. and uninterrupted by
commercial break "stopdowns and recues". The complete versions of the 98
Baker episodes were brought over for the use of PBS stations, while the
versions narrated by Howard Da Silva continued on commercial TV.

Fans were surprised to suddenly see new footage from episodes they knew very
well, and shocked to find out that Howard's narrations were not part of the
original episodes. There was a bit of a negative reaction to the Da Silva
narrated material, now that uncut installments were available. But with the
challenge of so many new PBS stations airing the show, the multiple 2" quad
tapes that were being "bicycled" from station to station nationwide often
got mixed together. Wackiness would ensue from this. Ex: one PBS station ran
an uncut Robots Of Death Part 1 & 2, follwed by an odd Da Silva mixed in on
Part 3, and then an uncut Part 4. Depending on the station's run of the
episode and how often they got tapes shipped in, the next time they aired
the story, they may all have been complete or all commercial versions - luck
of the draw with so many tapes floating around marked with the same episode
titles.

In 1982, with the formation of HBO, Time/Life television is forced to
break-up and dissolves. Many of the employees get together to create a
partnership and form the new Lionheart Television International to do the
same job. Lionheart is partly owned by the BBC. It's virtually the same
staff, in the same roles - all the same offices, and the same videotapes
were
puchased with the formation of the new company (Ah-ha, and that's why we
still see the Time/Life logo on BBC shows to this day).

The final 3 seasons of Tom Baker are finally brought over. At this time the
decision is made to offer stories in 4 versions - 1) uncut PBS "mini-series"
for PBS syndiction, 2) edited for commercial TV or "commercial versions", 3)
in "movie format", and 4) "commercial movie versions". All of Tom Baker's
stories are turned into movies at WHYY 12 in Philadelphia, PA. For
thecommercial edits of the last 3 Baker seasons (which were cut to 21:30
this time, apparently), Howard (now 73) is not asked back, and an editor in
a hurry cuts in commercial breaks every 7 minutes with little effort to keep
the story coherent. The "commercial movie versions" are for stations like
WGPR in Detroit, a religious broadcaster airing commercials.

Lionheart focuses more and more on PBS stations, though a handful of
commercial and religious stations (looking for family programming before the
days of The Family Channel) stick with the show for years beyond that point.

By 1986, when Howard Da Silva died and both Peter Davison and Jon Pertwee
episodes were starting to appear in the US, 300 PBS, commercial, and
religious stations were airing Doctor Who.

As the stations almost all became PBS, and more and more stations went to
movie format as well (because two 1" tapes were cheaper to ship than 4
reels - meaning the Lionheart sales staff could make price breaks for long
term packages), the Da Silva tapes fell out of use - other than when too
many copies of a story were shipped out, and these were the only versions
available. The last commercial stations stopped airing these tapes in early
1987.

Howard's involvement in the show's syndication was largely forgotten,
overlooked or disliked. The history and timeline for these events has never
been shared until now. T.J. Lubinsky's unique experience in the U.S.
syndication and distribution of Doctor Who has been gathered over two
decades of personal phone interviews with the original sales people,
editors,
producers and writers , tv programmers and sales staff for the various
incarnations of the U.S. syndication offers of "Doctor Who" in the U.S. As a
PBS fundraising producer, TJ also has the history, experience and advantages
of being "on the inside looking out" at the business of tv programming,
production and distribution. Lubinsky jokes "you know, it's
funny - I can remember being 12 years old with a Beta 1 machine in my living
room, being frustrated because I didn't know how to edit Howard's narrations
"out" of my home tapes. It's being exposed to all these different versions
of the show that taught me about editing and how to edit videotape, and
ultimately got me my first job at a PBS station because of answering
phones for - you guessed it - Doctor Who." Ironically, for the past ten
years it's been my sincere desire to make sure the talents of Howard and the
78' syndication team aren't forgotten and erased from our American Dr. Who
history," says Lubinsky.

In 1987, a purge was done in Lionheart to remove excess prints of the Tom
Baker stories during a conversion from 2" Quad to 1" videotape... The Da
Silva narrated versions of the episodes were "lost" from the U.S. library
since, at that time, there was no commercial syndication sales for the
series. There was no reason to keep these versions in circulation - they
just created problems for PBS stations. And the conversion staff did not
know that these tapes only existed in America. So,
it's really no one's fault - it was an accident that all these tapes were
"wiped, wiped out of existance".

Of the US broadcast masters, only Pyramids Of Mars episode 1 and the 4
episodes of The Brain Of Morbius still exist in the Da Silva narrated form
(in those episodes the full US versions of the episodes were wiped by
mistake).

The American spin on Doctor Who that won it an audience here was essentially
destroyed. In a bad bit of irony, most of the poorly edited episodes from
Tom Baker's last 3 seasons survived the purge while the complete US versions
of those episodes did not, as fans who've seen Tom Baker's later seasons on
US TV have discovered in recent years.

Da Silva's narrations survive these days only on VCR recordings from the
late 70s/early 80s and on audio tape recordings.

Howard Da Silva's one rough August afternoon doing voice work may well be
responsible for Doctor Who succeeding in the USA. His clear voice helped
explain the more confusing elements of the show to the new US public in a
time when Doctor Who was a mystery. Fans and commercial advertisers got
comfortable enough with the episodes he narrated for Time/Life and Lionheart
to eventually send over the real episodes.

Howard's work provided the bridge from no Who to real Who, and then he wound
up forgotten. TJ Lubinsky has spent the last ten years trying to recover the
missing pieces.

Until the Robots Of Death US DVD release, at least.

Unlike TV broadcasts or VHS releases, the DVD format lends itself to having
both the narrations "featurette" without effecting the real episodes, which
remain complete and unmolested.

Since The Robots Of Death was not a story where the broadcast versions of Da
Silva's segments survived, the Da Silva segments had to be "reconstructed"
for use on the DVD.

The producer of this extra DVD segment spoke to Ruth Newald, the original
editor from 1978, to find out how the editing had been done.

With audio from a WOR 9, and personal copies of U.S. syndication broadcast
1" tapes, the segments were reconstructed frame by frame, with efforts to
match all the effects of the original 1978 broadcast, in spite of the
difference in format speeds. Slightly more difficult than peeling a potato.
Several years ago, while working at a PBS station in South Florida that had
Doctor Who under license, TJ Lubinsky personally and privately funded an
all-night edit session at a now defunct commercial tv station in Hollywood,
Florida to use their "grass valley 1600 switcher" - the same switcher Ruith
Newald used to generate the very distinct wipe patterns used to transition
the preview effects scene-to-scene back in 1978. This is when TJ first met
The Da Silva family, who gave him permission to use Howard's voice tracks on
PBS stations, and encouragement to seek copies of Howard's work, as his
family wished they had recorded them when they first aired.

TJ jokingly adds, "the only thing I'm missing in this new restoration is the
2" tape scratching/banding that always happened when Channel 9 re-started
the segments after their APEX TECH/STUCKO commercial breaks. Man I'm just
glad I kept a work reel from those replicated effects to be re-used for the
DVD restoration.....(sawtooth and venetian blind wipes effect wipes with
distinct pattern modulation is not easy to come by in todays world of tv).
These are the exact same patterns Ruth used back in the 70's when she edited
these the first time around. I even matched the same font used to credit
'Introduced by Howard DaSilva' at the end of the episode, in exactly the
same way the original was formatted."

Beyond the technical problem of reconstructing the segments, there were
clearance issues. The Robots Of Death DVD's contents had already been
cleared once. To include the Howard Da Silva bits, clearance had to be
gotten from Howard's widow and sons (who generously agreed) for his voice
segments to be rerecorded and reedited for the DVD.

The people at BBC Video who work on the DVDs are Doctor Who fans, and would
like to try more features like this in the future. Besides Da Silva, Doctor
Who's been around in the US for over 20 years, and there are US extra ideas
available for many stories. But US materials are unlikely to be included in
the main UK releases due to overseas clearance restrictions. To get the Da
Silva and other segments on US releases, they will have to go through extra
mastering costs and work.

The better the public reaction to having the option of seeing this material
or not, and the better the DVDs do in sales, the better the chance that
Warner will spare the money, facilities, resources and time to try US extras
again, on top of what the Brits provide in extras.

And obviously, the reverse is true. Bad reaction or bad sales, and North
American DVD buyers will just get what the UK gets on DVDs, saving the folks
at Warner a fair amount of time and money.

The Robots Of Death DVD comes out with The Five Doctors Special Edition DVD
and the Spearhead From Space DVD in the US and Canada on September 11, 2001.
The best way we can say thanks to the BBC folks, is to support the DVD sales
- reserve your copy now :)

One final comment from TJ Lubinsky:
"Without naming names, I can share that two individuals at BBC Video really
deserve the credit for making this project a reality. They are fans, and
care about the proper presentation of our favorite show. They took a risk in
trying to make this happen - and I can't thank them enough for the
opportunity and extra resouces they put into this project. BBCWA home video
rocks - and their staff, along with Steve Roberts and co. in the U.K. are
the absolute best."

EDIT NOTES:
*Ark In Space was one of the last episodes to have been shipped from England
to the Teletronics producers for screening and reformatting for commercial
US
syndication. Since the backlog was so intense for a September 30 launch, a
2nd editor was brought in to assist Ruth Newald in finishing the project in
time for the series debut.

This created a few problems:

The new editor, was not familiar enough with the format standardized by Ruth
and the Time/Life producers, and made some edit decisions out of haste -
since the prodicers were split between writing, tracking (recording audio)
and editing all 98 episodes over 8 weeks - the last few weeks got sloppy,
sadly "Ark In Space" suffers from a lack of  care and attention the majority
of the package received under the primary editor/producers supervision for
the reformatting job at Teletronics.

#1 - the standard length was 23:56 for the episodes, since the edit
decisions
made in haste caused an over-run in timings for episodes one and two - each
credit from the principal actors were trimmed by 2 secons to accomidate late
"crash" fades into the end credits following the teaser scenes. This could
have been avoided by an earlier audio cross fade -or corrected in the sound
mix, but wasnn't - and aired this way throughout the life of these versions
on U.S. commercial TV.

*Note: For the original 98 episodes, only 4 episodes (Ark In Space 1&2 and
Genesis Of The Daleks 1&2) feature shortened credits - this was a decision
made by the 2nd editor of the 1978 syndication package as his solution for a
timing issue.

#2 - A bad edit for the ending teaser for Episode One (logo flies back prior
to commercial break) existed on some tapes in US commercial TV distribution,
whereby :03 of the ending audio sting was faded early, while the video
played
silent

Some copies (aka "prints" - but not really "prints" since its all 2" tape
"dubs")  feature an early fade of the video (logo flying back fades early to
match the audio) -  This was the edit used for the DVD, since this was the
original editors "fix" chosen, though not fully executed for commercial TV
distribution.

#3 - The voice over for Part 3's ending teaser was accidentally erased,
during the final mix session. (that new editor again) This is the only
episode of the original 98, that does not contain a full voice-over for Part
Three's ending teaser.

Some dubs distributed in US syndication featured a short "Next Time" tag
(lifted from another session track mixdown), while most copies in commercial
syndication featured no track at all - just the preview scene. The DVD
samples the rare-edit "Next Time" tag, slammed in by the Time/Life tapehouse
during mass duplication of the bycicle tapes.

Special thanks to: Ruth Newald, and the VCA Teletronics staff for their
memories of a job they "slammed" together  for their clients at Time/Life
more than 24 years ago.
Thanks to The Da SIlva estate for permission to edit and re-record Howard's
voice. Special thanks to the staff at BBC Video - dedicated fans that care
about our show, and having the care to make this exclusive U.S. extra
possible for us in the states, that remember Howard's introductions - as our
weekly guide to the series.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - August 7, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

UK - To help advertise the new "Real Time" audio story on the BBC's website,
BBC1, BBC2, and BBC Choice have been running a short trailer. Outpost
Gallifrey http://www.outpostgallifrey.com/ gave a list of known broadcast
times several days ago. The remaining known times are provided further down.
No one has said if the trailer will be shown in any other parts of the
world.

AUSTRALIA - Night owls get a chance to see Peter Cushing as Dr. Who on their
TV screens. The Nine Network and its regional variations in the Australian
Eastern Time zone will air Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150A.D. late Saturday
Night/early Sunday Morning at 3:15AM. It may not be airing in Western
portions of the country - check your local listings. Thanks to Jason Fraser
http://www.varos.net/ for the heads-up.

USA/CANADA - The 2 newest Region 1 DVDs (The Tomb Of The Cybermen and The
Ark In Space) officially went on sale yesterday (August 6). The Ark In
Space, like last year's DVD release of The Robots Of Death, contains the
Howard Da Silva introductions/closings created in 1978 when the first 4 Tom
Baker seasons were syndicated here to help explain the show to
American/Canadian viewers. These segments are an extra on the disc, and not
presented as part of the episodes. If you haven't done so yet, you can read
TWIDW's special feature on the Da Silva extras at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/110 and a
transcript of the Ark In Space introductions at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/111 . If the
people at BBC Worldwide Americas think that the Da Silva extras are
appreciated, they'll keep appearing on the relevant 23 Doctor Who DVD titles
as they come out over time.

CANADA - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ will begin its next set of new (to
them) Doctor Who episodes on Monday 9 September with part 1 of The
Armageddon Factor. I have not seen any announcements on how many episodes
will be in this new set, but Destiny Of The Daleks begins on Tuesday 17
September. Reruns of early Tom Baker stories continue through 6 September
and on the weekends. Weekday airings are at 7:30PM, 10:30PM, 2AM, and 4AM
Eastern Time (adjust for local time). Weekend omnibus (complete stories)
airings are at 3:30PM and 10:30PM Eastern Time through Saturday 31 August,
then move to late night at 2AM Eastern.

USA - DISH Network http://www.dishnetwork.com/ has recently added the
Burlington, VT local stations to their local packages. Like the Boston
locals, New Hampshire Public TV (NHPTV) http://www.nhptv.org/ is eligible to
be included in the package, though it currently is not. Should NHPTV get a
usable signal to Dish for either package, NHPTV will probably show up on
both local packages. Dish Network and DirecTV have been adding local station
packages for additional cities in recent weeks again, and we are trying to
keep track. http://www.dishforums.com/ has discussion forums where satellite
viewers chat on these matters.

According to the unofficial Dish Network Channel Chart at
http://echostar.swiki.net/52 , several other Who stations could appear on
the Dish Network local station packages in coming months - WYIN 56 Gary, IN
http://www.wyin.tv/ on the Chicago package, MPT Maryland http://www.mpt.org/
on the Washington/Hagerstown package and Baltimore (when/if Baltimore locals
go up), and KAWE 9 http://www.lakelandptv.org/ on the Minneapolis/St. Paul
locals - which would give that package 2 Doctor Who stations since they
already have KTCA 2 http://www.tpt.org/ .

DirecTV's http://www.directv.com/ website is harder to use than Dish
Network's, and there isn't an equivalent fan resource to the Echostar site
giving advance word on what DirecTV is doing. So I don't know if any
additional station that air Doctor Who may be coming to their local
packages. If I find out anything, I'll pass it on.

USA - Iowa Public TV http://www.iptv.org/ is now listing KQCT 36 Davenport,
IA in their list of channels in press releases, although they do not yet
have it on their official list of channels. KQCT has been a low power
repeater of WQPT 24 Moline, IL http://www.wqpt.org/ . KQCT 36 will soon go
from low power to full (well, full-ish - 29 mile radius seems a trifle low
to me) and join the IPTV network. So, we are adding the station to our IPTV
information. Instead of 11,12,21,24,27,32,32,36 , it will read
11,12,21,24,27,32,32,36,36 .

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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 14, 2002

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

First, a big apology to Shaun Lyon at Outpost Gallifrey. Last week I
inadvertently listed Outpost Gallifrey's website as
http://www.outpostgallifrey.com/ when it is really
http://www.gallifreyone.com/ . The perils of writing a column while
half-asleep.

EUROPE/AFRICA - BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com/ has aired Doctor Who
since the channel began in 1995. This week, after 7 years, BBC Prime
finishes its first run of the series with the last 2 episodes of Survival.
According to the website, The Five Doctors (skipped during the 5th Doctor
episodes) will begin airing next week. It is unclear which version of The
Five Doctors will be used, though the 4 part version is most likely given
BBC Prime's time slots for Doctor Who. BBC Prime also skipped Earthshock and
Attack Of The Cybermen, and I do not know if those will be airing. Also
unknown is what BBC Prime's future plans for Doctor Who are. Will BBC Prime
go back to the Hartnell/Troughton episodes, which they have not aired yet?
Will BBC Prime go back to the Pertwee episodes? The Tom Baker episodes? Will
they be taking the show off the air altogether? If anyone at BBC Prime wants
to leak advance word, let me know. Otherwise, we'll have to watch their
website week by week.

USA - WQED/WQEX 13,16 Pittsburgh, PA http://www.wqed.org/ ran the 2000
National Doctor Who Night special last Saturday at Midnight, and not a
regular 25 minute episode as indicated here. That was the special with
Sylvester McCoy in the studio and Remembrance Of The Daleks as the featured
story.

USA - Due to recent FCC rulings, viewers may have heard that new TVs in
upcoming years will be required to have digital tuners included in them.
Almost all full power TV stations are being required to get digital stations
on the air in the not-too distant future. If you're curious about what
channel your Doctor Who affiliate's digital signal will be on - read the
column today. I've listed all the assigned digital channels, as well as what
I know about their timetable for getting the digital stations active. A good
resource for keeping up on digital TV and all things TV/radio related in the
US is http://www.100000watts.com/ .

HOWARD DASILVA - In 1978, when the Tom Baker Doctor Who episodes were first
syndicated to the US, they were edited for commercial television and had
introductions written to explain the show for the American audience. Howard
DaSilva narrated these introductions. These introductions have been
recreated and included on the relevant US Doctor Who DVD releases produced
so far - The Robots Of Death and The Ark In Space. You can read about the
story of the DaSilva introductions at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/110 and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/message/111 . TJ Lubinsky,
the man who has been recreating/restoring the DaSilva introductions as
extras for the US DVDs, wants to address some concerns about the way they
are being presented.

"THE DASILVA FEATURETTE - what's the deal?

"Some people have asked why the DaSIlva featurette on The Ark In Space
contains such long episode recaps and scene extensions, here are the
reasons:

"1. This was the first ever and likely only opportunity to digitally
preserve Howard's contributions to the series. Remember these versions were
all but
destroyed in the American vaults over a decade ago.

"2. What made these "commercially formatted" versions unique to America are
not just his narrations, but the specific effects and edits that were
selected for the syndication package. Very often topics of discussion for us
old timers that used to spend hours on the phone and at conventions debating
such decisions (like why sometimes on the Tom Baker movies you see the logo
and sometimes you don't -  and how often you'd get a bad edit frame of "Part
One" on many movie versions).

"3. As the US DVD releases are likely the only possibility to digitally
preserve these  uniquely American versions, created by American videotape
editors in 1978 for the syndication launch of Tom's first 98 episodes - the
decision was made to faithfully recreate each episode's distinctly created
formatting, exactly as first screened here in the US.

"4. That is beyond the voice overs, are the unique edits to the end credits
(logo flying back) followed by preview scenes, and the fades to and from
black where the original commercial breaks were placed.

"5. The original editors spent hours trying to figure out how best to format
these shows for commercial television. So when you this featurette, you're
also seeing a faithful recreation of the original syndication reformatting,
in addition to the scripts written for Howard that he read in three hours
back in 1978.

"6. From opening credits to the end of the first commercial
break...sometimes these segments are short, sometimes these are longer. That
depends on when
the original scenes were faded for commercial break insertion.

"7. These edits have been matched frame for frame for the DVD featurette.
From where the logo flies back during the teaser, to the font size and style
used to credit Howard and Time/Life at the end.

"8. The Ark In Space for example was one of four episodes where the original
editors compensated for late music cues by shortening some of the actual
actors credits from 2 seconds - where they were originally 4 seconds, these
details are what make the recreations special - beyond Howard's voice - so
the whole unique American experience of seeing Dr. Who in the 70's can be
relived when taking this personal Tardis timetrip back to America's Who past
on commercial television.

"If these efforts are appreciated, I also hope to include original stills
(such as the image used on Robots Of Death) from the PBS stations that aired
these during the :15 second black segments intended for commercial spots.

"While it may seem a bit excessive to showcase these details in every
episode for the casual interest Who fan, us old-time hard core folks that
remember
and love revisiting these shows from Saturday morning on Channel 9 really
enjoy the attention to detail.

"If you don't want to sit through the recaps, the fast forward option is
always there - for those of us that remember these little details as part of
the "experience" of the original broadcast of the series in the US - these
little differences are special and important, not to feature them would be
less than respectful.

"We don't have to agree on this point, but I hope this reasoning makes some
sense.

"Yours in Gallifrey (10-0-11-00-by - 0 - 2)

Howard DaSilva DVD Featurette dude"

Welcome to the weekly guide to Doctor Who on Television.

UK - More Who On UK Gold - This weekend, UK Gold is airing a bonus Doctor
Who movie on Monday 26 August, a Bank Holiday over there. Also, there are
reports in the UK that UK Gold has scheduled Doctor Who movie broadcasts
late on Friday and Saturday nights in September. It is not known yet if
those will be repeats of the Saturday and Sunday morning movies or alternate
stories altogether.

POLAND - Tele 5 seems to have only purchased a few stories, airing them out
of order, and is already rerunning them. We will try to keep up with
whatever Tele 5 is doing, if that is possible.

USA - Upgrade in New Hampshire - New Hampshire Public TV
http://www.nhptv.org/ is moving the start time for the Thursday night Doctor
Who episodes from Midnight to 11:30PM. The late Saturday rerun will still
begin at Midnight. Change occurs in September. One amusing thing - NHPTV's
September schedule indicates that they will air a 4 part version of The Five
Doctors Special Edition. I was not aware that there was a 4 part version of
that variant of The Five Doctors.

CANADA - Reminder for BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ - starting Sunday 1
September, the 3:30PM omnibus weekend airings are discontinued while the
10:30PM omnibuses move to 2AM. The weekday airings are unaffected, and new
(to BBC Kids) episodes will air on the weekdays.

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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.

Skonnos, a planet with a dying empire, is misled by an alien called Nimon
into a terrible bargain that will destroy Skonnos and many other worlds as
well, unless Romana and the 4th Doctor can stop it. A rather fun story which
often gets unkindly derided for not taking the story too seriously and being
on a slim budget.
Mon 7:20-9AM BST "The Leisure Hive" movie

ticked. We, the Silurians and the Sea Devils, want revenge on you humans for
not taking your extinction like men. So we're coming back to finish the job.

September. It appears that BBC Kids has ordered season 18 as well, so you
may finally get to finish the 4th Doctor's era.

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.

Sat 7:20-9AM BST "Meglos" movie
A tale of two Dopplegangers. The 4th Doctor is replaced by a duplicate in a
scheme to commit a daring crime. And the female leader of the main religion
on Tigella looks remarkably like Barbara Wright from the Hartnell seasons -
because it's the same actress, Jacqueline Hill.
Sun 7:15-9AM BST "Full Circle" movie
Romana does not want to obey the Time Lord summons to return home. The good
news - it looks like she may be able to escape Time Lord jurisdiction. The
bad news - that's because the TARDIS has been sucked into another universe
and they could be trapped outside our reality forever.

THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - September 4/5, 2002

Column's a tad late and short this week. Couldn't be helped. Hopefully
things will be back on schedule next week (the 11th).

Top story of the week - BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com/ has taken Doctor
Who off its schedule. BBC Prime is a cable/satellite channel bringing BBC
Programming to the continents of Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. They
have aired Doctor Who since 1995, and have shown just about all the stories
from Pertwee to McCoy (the TV Movie with McGann aired a couple of years
ago). They finished the McCoy run about 2 weeks ago, and used a 4 part
version of The Five Doctors to finish August. BBC Prime has made their
semi-annual reshuffling of their program schedule, and Doctor Who appears to
have been left out of the shuffle.

UK - UK Gold is now airing extra Doctor Who broadcasts late Friday and
Saturday nights, beginning 6 September. The Friday night story is the same
one that they will air on Saturday morning, and the Saturday night story is
the same one that they will air Sunday morning. So, if you don't want to
wake up early to watch Doctor Who, all you have to do is stay up very late.

Canada - BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/ is airing new (to them) Doctor Who
episodes again. See the listings for specific episodes and times.

USA - NHPTV New Hampshire http://www.nhptv.org/ is now airing Doctor Who at
11:30PM on Thursdays instead of Midnight.

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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 11, 2002

http://www.topica.com/lists/twidwtalk

In recent weeks, the Witchblade had its edge cut off by TNT and Farscape was
reportedly frelled by Sci-Fi in spite of high ratings by their respective
network's standards. The Washington Post joined the list of newspapers where
you have to register to read most of their online stories. BBC Prime dropped
Doctor Who, taking it away from viewers on 3 continents. It seems like
sci-fi fans and people who like easy access to information online are having
a rough month.

Well, as a new TV season starts in most of the world, I want to state right
now that This Week In Doctor Who is sticking around. I know the temptation
to try something new is great. Imagine This Week In She Spies. This Week In
Alias. This Week In Water Rats. But no. This Week In Doctor Who will
continue as normal, chronicling the up and downs of Doctor Who on TV around
the world.

And starting next week, I'm adding a new feature to the column. Each week,
I'm going to pick a station that airs Doctor Who, and ask for reader opinion
on that station. Memories, thoughts. At the end of the day, nothing is going
to be as effective at exposing new viewers to Doctor Who as the TV stations
that still air it. We ignore them and let them slip away at our peril, as
without new fans the old fandom will inevitably start to die off, making the
audios, books, videos/DVDs unprofitable, and causing them to disappear. So,
for the next few months, we will give individual attention to every station
airing the show that we can. Details in nextt week's column.

While I try to keep the column up to day, 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.

Atrios and Zeos are protected from mutual destruction by a slowly

they learn that both the White and Black Guardians must be utter bastards.

I'm a bit puzzled by this one. When was a 4 part version of the Special
Edition of 5 Doctors created? It makes sense in a way - most stations now
want to air the show in roughly 25 minute episodes. But I've never seen this
version offered in 4 episodes before. It's possible that NHPTV just made a
mistake, and it's really the 4 part syndication version of the original 5

(one part of the website said it would, another was changed to say it

September 28th - but will they remember to air the last portion of The Two

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho/

Well, it had to happen. A bunch of updates/changes/corrections occur within
24 hours after the column comes out. Here comes the good, the bad, and the
ugly:

Bad news - KTCA 2 (TPT) St. Paul, MN http://www.tpt.org/ is cancelling
Doctor Who at the end of this month. The final broadcast will be part 4 of
Logopolis - airing at 11:30PM on Saturday, September 28 and 5:30AM on
Sunday, September 29. TPT was announcing this before last week's Doctor Who
episode aired. TPT (aka KTCA) resumed airing Doctor Who in 1999, and has run
through the Tom Baker episodes. Viewers with digital TV have been able to
see Doctor Who on KTCI-DT 16, subchannel 5 (mapped as 2.5 on most digital
TVs), a simulcast of KTCA 2. All is not lost for viewers in the far northern
and western regions of the Minneapolis/St. Paul viewing area. KAWE 9/KAWB 22
Bemidji/Brainerd, MN http://www.lakelandptv.org/ still airs one Doctor Who
episode a week - Saturday at 8PM with a rerun Sunday at 11PM. It has been
suggested (though completely unconfirmed) that Dish Network will eventually
add KAWE 9 to the local stations package for Minneapolis/St. Paul
subscribers.

Good news - WQED/WQEX 13,16 Pittsburgh, PA http://www.wqed.org/ has
scheduled a special broadcast of Doctor Who for this weekend. Starting at
Midnight, WQED/WQEX will air both episodes of "Black Orchid", a story which
apparently suffered from tape problems when it aired recently. WQED/WQEX was
not originally scheduled to air Doctor Who this weekend. Arc Of Infinity
part 4 will air next week as scheduled. This might be a good chance for
Pittsburgh area viewers to thank WQED for keeping Doctor Who on the air.
Send them an e-mail or write them a letter. Nothing like evidence of
viewership (and in the case of PBS stations - pledges of money) does more to
encourage stations when they decide at renewal time which shows to keep
around.

Ugly - Oops. I made a mistake on the BBC Kids http://www.bbckids.ca/
listings. Canadians will *not* be getting Full Circle late Saturday night.
Canadians *will* be getting The Leisure Hive in that slot. Full Circle won't
air till late night on 28 September. While BBC Kids has not been perfect at
airing stories in order, they *are* airing these stories in order right now.

Alert - Interstellar Transmissions http://www.interstellartransmissions.com/
has added a last minute guest for the Friday September 20 show. David
Kemper, executive producer of Farscape, will be on during the second half of
this radio sci-fi news/talk show to discuss the current status of the
Farscape series, recently cancelled by the US Sci-Fi Channel
http://www.scifi.com/ . If you're a fan of Farscape, you might want to tune
in. The show airs live at 7PM Eastern Daylight Time US, and should be
available to listen to on the Interstellar Transmissions site later. IT airs
on WWNN AM1470 Pompano Beach, FL http://www.wnnhealthtalkradio.com/ and WBYU
AM1450 New Orleans, LA http://www.bayou1450.com/ , with their own live audio
streams that you can use to catch the show. Interstellar Transmissions' next
Doctor Who guest will be Lars Pearson on September 27, talking about his
book I Who 3.

Finally, there have been reports about a possible revival of Doctor Who next
year. I've read the reports in several places, and the story tends to vary.
Naturally I would favor the return of the series, though it would make
producing This Week In Doctor Who much harder. Time will tell if this is
anything serious, or just some off the cuff comments. Here is a direct link
to a transcript of BBC1 chief Lorraine Heggessey's comments -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/news/02091801.shtml . Also, you can here
her comments in RealPlayer -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/clips/heggessey_clip.shtml .

Until next week, or until more breaking updates happen, this has been This
Week In Doctor Who.
