PORTUGAL lies on the Iberian peninsula, to the west of Spain.
DOCTOR WHO (DOUTOR WHO) IN PORTUGAL
Doctor Who did not screen on any local Portuguese television stations in the period that we cover in BroaDWcast.
In the late 1980s, British satellite channels such as Super Channel and BBC Prime (see Cable and Satellite) may have been available in Portugal.
(The Azores group of islands - an autonomous territory of Portugal - was the location of the US Lajes Air Base. Circa 1986, Doctor Who was shown on the local AFRTS station.)
And those in north Portugal, close to the border with Galicia, the north western region of Spain, may have been able to view the Tom Baker stories airing on channel TVG (as "Doutor Who") that commenced from February 1988. (The Galician dialect shares much with Portuguese.)
The DVD release of The Five Doctors had Portuguese as a subtitle language option:
