SCOTLAND is part of the United Kingdom. As such, it receives BBC transmissions from London.
However, from time to time the network's regional output station BBC Scotland altered its TV schedules to make way for local and alternative programming, and Doctor Who was sometimes shown at times that were different to the rest of the network:
- 1982: Castrovalva 1 was shown in an earlier timeslot
- 1993: Planet of the Daleks 1-6 repeats were shown on BBC2 rather than BBC1 and in an earlier timeslot
- 1998: During the BBC Choice repeats, BBC Scotland aired three additional episodes - Terror of the Zygons 1-3
- 1999: BBC Choice rescreened Terror of the Zygons 1-3 only in Scotland
