El Dr Misterio – as Doctor Who was known in Latin America – was sold to South American countries from 1967, with Venezuela and Chile picking up the package of William Hartnell stories that had been dubbed into Spanish.
A package of 23 Tom Baker stories also aired in some South American countries from 1979 onwards - BUT:
The series was later available on various cable and satellite stations, with episodes either dubbed or subtitled.
