| − | *'''5 January 1976''': The standard package of [[Jon Pertwee stories]] debuted in Boston on Monday 5 January, from 7.30 to 8.00pm. The TOPS TODAY and main billings both name the star as "John Pertwee". The main billing for the first episode also offers rather scathing comments about the quality of the BBC's special effects!
| |
| − | *'''12 January 1976''': The episode was billed as a 'repeat', but it was most likely a new episode.
| |
| − | *'''20 January 1976''', the series moves to Tuesday. The '''10 February''' entry (the show aired at 8.30pm for this episode only) gives the following synopsis: "Plague spreads to London before Dr Who manages to find antidote", which is for [[Doctor Who and the Silurians]], either episode five or six, depending on whether or not '''12 January''' had been a repeat.

| − | *According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_in_Canada_and_the_United_States#The_1970s:_Doctor_Who_comes_to_the_United_States THIS LINK] WSBK in Boston, Massachusetts ('''independent channel 38''') was one of the first stations to air the series. We think this might actually be an error, and it was station WTEV that was being referred to.

| |
| − | The text in the wiki page which mentioned WSBK has since been deleted (ref the talk page), so this station can probably be removed from Massachusetts, but I'll leave it in here just in case it ever needs to be resurrected...
