| − | ==Population==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When '''Doctor Who''' screened in Libya in 1968, the population was 1.5 million, and licensed TV sets numbered XXXXXXXXXXX (per [[WRTH]], XXX).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==TV & system==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Libya began its television service in 1968.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is just one television station: '''Libyan Broadcasting & TV Service''', a government-owned commercial broadcaster.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Colour transmissions began in 1976 using the [[Wikipedia:PAL|PAL]] colour broadcast system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Language/s==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The main languages of Libya are [[Arabic]] and French. Television was broadcast in both languages. English newspapers, however, were also published in Tripoli.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =='''DOCTOR WHO IN LIBYA'''==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Libya was the 32nd country to screen '''Doctor Who'''; it was the 11th in [[:Category:Africa|Africa]], and the fifth to broadcast the [[Arabic]] language versions (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==[[BBC Records]]==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Libya is not recorded in the '''The Seventies''' list from 1977; nor is it named in any of the '''DWM''' story Archives.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Libya is, however, named in ''The Making of Doctor Who'' (1972 edition).
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Morocco]] was the previous [[Arabic]] speaking country in [[:Category:Africa|Africa]] to screen the series – well over a year earlier - so it's possible that Libya was sent the same set of prints shortly after transmission in Morocco.

| − | While it is unknown for sure which stories aired, it is more than likely that Libya got the standard package of nine stories, 37 episodes:

| |
| − | | |
| − | Libya appears to have acquired the standard [[Arabic]] package of GROUP A, B and C of the [[William Hartnell stories]]; like other [[Arabic]] countries, only part one of [[An Unearthly Child]] aired.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with [[Arabic]] soundtracks.

| − | ==TV listings==
| |
| − | No TV listings have been obtained – yet. ''The Libyan Times'', and English language from Tripoli, were accessed; these went as far as 15 January 1972, but there were no listings for '''Doctor Who'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The majority of programmes that aired were American.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Fate of the Prints==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The next [[Arabic]] and African country to air '''Doctor Who''' was [[Algeria]], in 1973/74. It is therefore possible that Libya sent its prints of the [[Arabic]] dubbed Hartnell stories to [[Algeria]] (which was the last ever country to purchase that package of episodes.
