DOCTOR WHO IN SAINT LUCIA
BBC Records
Saint Lucia is not identified in any available BBC records. It was reported in the September 1985 issue of Celestial Toyroom that the series had been offered to nine Caribbean countries, although those nine are not named. Although Saint Lucia did receive broadcasts of Doctor Who from nearby Barbados, it might still have had to pay the BBC something for that privilege, and might therefore be one of the nine.
