Contents
Population
When Doctor Who screened in Malaysia in 1986-87, the population was 11,580,000, and licensed black and white TV sets numbered 1,040,000; colour sets numbered 288,000 (per WRTH, 1984).
TV & system
Malaysia began its television service in 1963.
There is just one television station: Radio Television Malaysia, a government-owned commercial broadcaster, which operated two channels: Network I and Network II. Doctor Who aired on both channels.
Malaysian viewers could also receive transmissions from Singapore and Borneo.
Colour transmissions began in 1972 using the PAL colour broadcast system.
Language/s
The main languages of Malaysia are Malay, English, and XXXX, XXX. The ‘’Straits Times’’ says "All programmes in Malay unless otherwise stated" - Doctor Who was broadcast in English (possibly also with Malay subtitles.)
DOCTOR WHO IN MALAYSIA
Malaysia was the 58th country to screen Doctor Who (see Selling Doctor Who).
BBC Records
The Eighties (The Eighties The Lost Chapters) records a sale of eight stories (by 10 February 1987). However, only seven stories are listed as being broadcast. Therefore, eight is either an error, or one story was sold but did not screen.
Malaysia is not identified in any of the DWM story Archives.
Stories bought and broadcast
TOM BAKER
Seven identified stories, 28 episodes:
| FF | The Highlanders | 4 |
| GG | The Underwater Menace | 4 |
| HH | The Moonbase | 4 |
| JJ | The Macra Terror | 4 |
| KK | The Faceless Ones | 6 |
Malaysia bought part of GROUPs XXXX and XXX, then GROUP ONE of the Tom Baker stories.
The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes with English soundtracks, presumably through BBC Sydney.
Transmission
TOM BAKER
Malaysia TV operated Networks One and Two. Doctor Who screened on Network Two (aka MALAYSIA TWO) for its first run, then on Network One (Malaysia One) for its second run
LOTS TO ADD HERE - FULL ANALYSIS OF SCREENINGS
There is no record that Malaysia screened Doctor Who again.
TV listings
TV listings have been obtained from three newspapers Malay Mail, Borneo Bulletin and The Singapore Straits Times (Malaysia Edition).
TV listings in the Malay Mail and Borneo Bulletin give the full week, but the dates of the two papers don't always match and sometimes are out by two weeks - it seems that the Mail listed programmes two weeks ahead whereas the Bulletin seem to be for the following week… However, the Straits Times gives more accurate listings details, and is therefore listed separately.
Some Mail and Bulletin listings merely say "Children's Programmes" for the timeslot that Doctor Who normally would screen.
The Straits Times says "All programmes in Malay unless otherwise stated" - Doctor Who is listed as being broadcast in English.
