| − | The '''Stanmark Productions Ltd''' advertisement from 1966, identifies Jamaica as one of the '''twelve''' countries screening '''Doctor Who''' in that year.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''The Seventies''' records a sale of '''"(16)"''' stories by 28 February 1977. '''The Handbook''' identifies these as being: {{A}}, {{B}}, {{C}}, {{D}}, {{E}}, {{F}}, {{G}}, {{H}}, {{J}}, {{K}}, {{L}}, {{M}}, {{N}}, {{P}}, {{Q}}, {{S}}.

| |
| − | Jamaica therefore bought all of GROUPs A to E of the [[William Hartnell stories]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with English soundtracks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Origin of the Prints?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Trinidad & Tobago]] and [[Bermuda]] are two other Caribbean nations that screened the series only a matter of months earlier than Jamaica; all three countries were serviced by the programme distributor '''Television International Enterprises Limited''' (see [[WRTH]]), so it’s more than likely that Jamaica was sent the same set of prints that had been used in one or both of those countries.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The series commenced '''3 March 1966''', and screened weekly on Thursdays at 6.00pm.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A couple of episodes were pre-empted due to sporting events coverage, such as cricket, or the Commonwealth Games (in August 1966). For this reason two episodes of [[The Keys of Marinus]] aired back to back on '''4 August 1966''', a fact mentioned in the TV Highlights page of the paper.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | From '''10 September 1966''', the series moved to Saturdays (still at 6.00pm), with part six of [[The Keys of Marinus]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In '''October 1966''', all episodes of [[The Sensorites]] were paired and screened back to back (with a timeslot of 5.45pm to 6.30pm), the only other instances in which episodes were doubled-up.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The run ended on Saturday, '''25 March 1967''', with part four of [[The Romans]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Two years later on '''2 February 1969''', the series resumed, now on Sundays at 6.02pm. The first story was [[The Web Planet]]. After a 25 week run (no episode aired on Easter Sunday '''6 April 1969'''), the series came to a conclusion on '''20 July 1969''', with part four of [[The Time Meddler]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There is no clear record that Jamaica screened '''Doctor Who''' again.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Fate of the Prints?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The next [[:Category:Caribbean|Caribbean]] country to air '''Doctor Who''' was [[Barbados]], from April 1966. Since both countries were serviced by the programme distributor '''Television International Enterprises Limited''' (see [[WRTH]]), it is likely that Jamaica sent its prints of the 1966-1967 run of Hartnell stories to [[Barbados]].

| |

| |
| − | TV listings have been obtained from the Kingston, Jamaican newspaper, ''The Daily Gleaner'' and ''Sunday Gleaner''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Listings give the series name as '''"Dr Who"'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On '''27 February 1966''', the Sunday paper featured a preview of the upcoming new series: '''"FOR LOVERS OF SCIENCE FICTION"'''. This same article names the first story as '''"Serial A"'''. A misprint also gave the title of the second episode as '''"The Cave of Sklls"'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Sunday '''6 March 1966''' issue had a brief summary illustrated with a photo of the crew standing around the TARDIS console.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Many of the daily listings were illustrated with a small photo of William Hartnell - one of these was a standard publicity shot, the other being taken from [[The Romans]]. None of the episodes was titled within the actual TV listings, but sometimes the title was named in the general TV pages, such as [[The Reign of Terror]] in the '''5 November 1966'' issue.
