DOCTOR WHO IN YUGOSLAVIA
BBC Records
The Eighties - THE LOST CHAPTERS records a sale of "(3)" stories (by 10 February 1987).
The country is not named in any of the DWM story Archives.
Stories bought and broadcast
Since Yugoslavia was a PAL broadcaster, the stories that aired could be any of the surviving full PAL Jon Pertwee stories, or Tom Baker stories. It's unlikely to be any of the later Doctors...
Given the proliferation of the Tom Baker stories being sold to European countries during the late 1980s (such as Spain, Greece and Poland), it is more than likely to have been his stories that aired.
The programme was supplied (presumably) on PAL colour video tapes complete with the original English soundtrack. These were broadcast with subtitles.
Transmission
TV listings
We do not have any details on broadcasts or newspaper listings. The series would have aired sometime in the mid-1980s, to account for the country's appearance in the 1987 sales memo.
Yugoslavia in Doctor Who
- The Doctor's companion Tegan Jovanka was named after Yugoslav President Tito's wife, Jovanka.
- It was because of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia that the BBC was forced to re-edit Resurrection of the Daleks and screen it as two-45 minute episodes.
- The abandoned Coast to Coast Doctor Who movie was to be have location-filming in Yugoslavia.
