• 1965, XXXXX: One of the earliest known exposures of Doctor Who to American audiences is in issue #XX (XXXXXX 1965) of Famous Monsters of Filmland in the form of a photograph of a Menoptra from The Web Planet; the wording of the caption, however, gives the impression that the 'insect-like' creature is in fact Dr Who himself!

• 1965, April: Famous Monsters of Filmland issue #38 (February 1965) carriesa feature on the series in the form of a report from the set of The Web Planet.

• 1965: Variety Magazine (issue dated XXXX) publishes a review of Dr Who and the Daleks.

• 1966-1967: During the second half of 1966 and all of 1967, Terry Nation attempts to sell the concept of a Dalek spin-off series to American networks. The series never goes ahead, but an unfortunate condition during this period of negotiation is that the BBC is not able to sell Dalek stories to overseas broadcasters...

• 1966, November: Dell publishes a comic adaptation of the first Dalek movie. It retails for XXX.

• 1967-1968: The two Aaru Dalek feature films play in selected cinemas across the United States. They are distributed by the Continental Group.

1972

• The BBC establishes a distribution deal with Time/Life Films, the film and television distribution division of Ted Turner's media empire Wikipedia: Time Life. This deal gives Time/Life exclusive rights to sell BBC product within the United States and Latin America. The deal includes such fair as Wikipedia: War & Peace (a co-production between Time/Life and BBC), The Ascent of Man, and Doctor Who. At the time the deal was signed off, the ninth season of the series (starring Jon Pertwee), was coming to a close. The package offered included 13 serials, 72 episodes, in full colour. These episodes were converted from the PAL video tapes to NTSC (525-line 2-inch colour video tapes). (Presumably Pertwee's debut serial, Spearhead from Space was not included in the package was because it was on colour film.) Inferno is supplied with an earlier edit of part five, featuring a scene deleted from the UK broadcast. (This highlights that the BBC still held the original colour tapes of these three seasons as late as 1972.)

• BROADCASTING MAGAZINE ADS
