SWITZERLAND is in central Europe.
DOCTOR WHO IN SWITZERLAND
As far as we know, Doctor Who did not screen on any local Swiss television stations in the period that we cover in BroaDWcast.
In the late 1980s, British satellite channels such as Super Channel and BBC Prime, both of which aired Doctor Who (see Cable and Satellite), may have been available in the country.

The first Peter Cushing Dalek movie, "Dr Who and the Daleks" screened at the Nord Sud cinema in Geneva in August 1968.
