DOMINICAN REPUBLIC is situated in the Caribbean, to the west of Cuba. Dominican Republic and Haiti share the same island.
Contents
Population
When Doctor Who screened in Dominican Republic in 1968, the population was around 4 million, and licensed TV sets numbered only 50,000 (per WRTH, 1966).
In 1979, it was XXXXXXXXX
TV & system
Dominican Republic began its television service in 1952.
There were two TV stations: Radio Santo Domingo-TV, which operated channels 2,4,9, and Rahintel Television, channel 7.
The channels in the late 1980s were: RAHINTEL 7 (color) COLOR VISION 2 y 9 TELESISTERMO 11 RADIOTELEVISION DOMINICANA 4 TELEANTILLAS 2 y 13 CANAL 6
Colour transmissions began in 1969 using the NTSC colour broadcast system.
Language/s
The main language of Dominican Republic is Spanish.
DOCTOR WHO IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Dominican Republic was the 29th country to screen Doctor Who, and the fifth in the Caribbean.
BBC Records
Dominican Republic is not listed in The Seventies, or The Handbook.
In DWM, Dominican Republic is identified in 10 story Archives: A, B, C, E, F, K, L, N, Q, R. The year of sale is given as 1966 and 1968.
The Eighties the Lost Chapters records a sale of 7 stories (by 10 February 1987) to Dominica. It is assumed that this is actually Dominican Republic rather than the small island nation of Dominica which did not have a television service.
Stories bought and broadcast
WILLIAM HARTNELL
Presumably, Dominican Republic purchased and aired the standard package of twelve stories, 56 episodes that played in other Spanish-language countries in the 1960s:
| A | An Unearthly Child | 4 |
| B | The Daleks | 7 |
| C | Inside the Spaceship | 2 |
| E | The Keys of Marinus | 6 |
| F | The Aztecs | 4 |
| G | The Sensorites | 6 |
| J | Planet of Giants | 3 |
| K | The Dalek Invasion of Earth | 6 |
| L | The Rescue | 2 |
| N | The Web Planet | 6 |
| Q | The Space Museum | 4 |
| R | The Chase | 6 |
If so, Dominican Republic therefore bought the standard package of GROUP A, B, C and D of the William Hartnell stories dubbed into Spanish.
The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with Spanish soundtracks.
Origin of the Prints?
Dominican Republic may have received its prints of the Hartnell stories from Mexico or Venezuela.
TOM BAKER
Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago were sold a package of Tom Baker stories in late 1985 – as part of a larger package sold to nine Caribbean countries. Presumably Dominican Republic bought the same or a similar package of the same Baker stories on offer at the time.
