Revision as of 08:25, 20 January 2011
Doctor Who aired only in GALICIA, a north western region of Spain, at the border with Portugal.
Profile
| Country Number (N/K) | 1988 | THIRD WAVE |
| Region | Europe | |
| Television commenced | 1985 | |
| Colour System | 1985 | PAL |
| Language/s | Galician | Dubbed |
Television Stations / Channels
- TV de Galicia (TVG)
- TVG commenced broadcasts on 24 July 1985.
The official language of Galicia is Galician, a derivation of Portuguese. Like all TVG programming, Doctor Who was dubbed into that language.
DOCTOR WHO (DOUTOR WHO) IN SPAIN / GALICIA
The sale to Spain / Galicia was towards the tail-end of the Third Wave of sales, but also one of the first sales to Europe (see Selling Doctor Who).
BBC Records
None of our principal BBC Records sources report the sale to Spain/Galicia.
In DWB issue 43 (May 1987), there is a report that a sale was made "to Spain at the recent European TV Fair months after France did a U-Turn"... Given the February 1988 start date of Doutor Who on TVG, this sale to "Spain" would appear to be to the Galicia region.
A profile for Doctor Who - in the Galician language - can be found on wikipedia:
Stories bought and broadcast
TOM BAKER
The exact number of stories that aired is unknown.
But this forum entry MAIS ANIVERSARIOS "O" DOUTOR wishes Tom Baker a 'Happy Birthday', and goes to say: "Foi mundialmente famoso por ter sido o cuarto Doutor Who, cuxas dúas primeiras temporadas (1974-75 e 1975-76) foron emitidas pola TVG nos anos oitenta", which translates as "He was world famous for being the fourth Doctor Who, whose first two seasons (1974-75 and 1975-76) were issued by TVG in the eighties". If this statement is true, then at least 13 Tom Baker stories aired:
| 4A | Robot | 4 | Robot |
| 4C | The Ark in Space | 4 | El Arca del Espacio |
| 4B | The Sontaran Experiment | 2 | |
| 4E | Genesis of the Daleks | 6 | |
| 4D | Revenge of the Cybermen | 4 | |
| 4F | Terror of the Zygons | 4 | |
| 4H | Planet of Evil | 4 | |
| 4G | Pyramids of Mars | 4 | |
| 4J | The Android Invasion | 4 | |
| 4L | The Seeds of Doom | 6 |
From comments made in this BLOG, and this FORUM, the run included at least the Cybermen and Dalek adventures.
The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes, and these were dubbed into Galician.
The voice artist who dubbed for Tom Baker was GONZALO URIARTE, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a younger William Hartnell!
Uriarte worked primarily as a voice actor, dubbing many actors (such as Roy Scheider and Tom Baker), but is chiefly known as the Galician voice of actor Peter O'Toole.
Transmission
TOM BAKER
The series – known in Galicia as Doutor Who (pronounced "Doh-tor") - commenced on Tuesday, 23 February 1988, starting with Robot.
No further details are known; presumably the series ran on a weekly basis.
We can see from this clip that the character names were retained (Sullivan, Benton), as was Dudley Simpson's incidental score.
(In his DWM 204 (September 1993) interview, Simpson makes the mistaken comment that "when they started to screen Doctor Who in France and Spain they didn't have separate music and effects tracks. The only thing they can do is put subtitles on top of the existing programme".)
TV listings
We have not been able to locate any TV listings or billings for TVG.
