From BroaDWcast

This page will list UPDATES and NEW pages added after Launch Day.
We would very much like BroaDWcast to also function as an index to Doctor Who clips on YouTube, especially USA pledge-breaks, convention footage and any foreign language clips. If you already know of or stumble across any, please send us the link.
November 2011
- 13 November 2011: Fixed a wee error on the Iran profile page: the table of stories 'Bought and broadcast' included The Crusade (not screened) and omitted The Rescue (did screen).
- 6 November 2011: UPDATE to Spain - the identity of the Spanish actor who dubbed for Tom Baker has been identified!
- 3 November 2011: We've made some minor corrections to Gibraltar, Singapore, Zambia and Uganda (and others) to fix layout errors or factual details brought to our attention by one of our readers. (Thanks Peter!)
October 2011
- 28 October 2011: Additions to WILL, WFYI and KETC.
- 24 October 2011: We've added a note on the William Hartnell stories page about cliffhanger endings, and how these could be edited to suit countries that didn't air all his stories.
- 22 October 2011: We've added to the Broadcasts around the World page a table of the United States to make navigation easier.
- Despite our valiant attempts to correct some of the long-standing but factually-incorrect fan-myths on their Doctor Who pages, Wikipedia mods refuse to accept BroaDWcast as being a "reliable source".
- 12 October 2011: Brand NEW profile for Portugal; although the TV series never aired there, a set of novelisations was published in the early 1980s.
- 10 October 2011: Detail about a potential run of repeats in 1991, a full run of repeats in 1995, some background notes regarding Jon Pertwee serials, and new pictures, ADDED to Germany.
- 2 October 2011: Brand NEW profile and airdates summary for Sri Lanka.
- 2 October 2011: We have ADDED a page tabulating countries that have bought the NEW SERIES. (NOTE: This doesn't profile or summarise full airdates.)
September 2011
- 30 September 2011: Major UPDATE to Nigeria; we have identified the TV station that broadcast the now-missing season 5 Patrick Troughton serials in 1974-75.
- 23 September 2011: Update to Poland; clarification to what screened in 2002-2003.
- 16 September 2011: Update to the Invasion of the Dinosaurs page; we have revised our 'What Happened to Episode One?' Conspiracy Theory...
- 11 September 2011: Update to The Tomb of the Cybermen - we've revised the 'film movement' scenario to factor in the December 1969 repeats in Australia.
- 9 September 2011: Update to Singapore; we have now accessed all the papers that were previously missing, and confirm that Doctor Who is listed in each; which leaves no doubt that there was an extra episode in 1972; did Mission to the Unknown screen after all?
- 8 September 2011: We have now ascertained that station WILL in Illinois aired the re-packaged Jon Pertwee stories in December 1984, two months ahead of New Jersey Network, who we previously had down as the debut station. The page for United States also amended accordingly.
- The Documentaries and Specials page has been expanded, to include additional programmes.
- BBC publicity card has been added to City of Death. If anyone has any more of these that we can use, please contact us at BroaDWcast@hotmail.com. Thanks!
