DOCTOR WHO IN NEPAL
BBC Records
Nepal is not named in any of the main BBC Records sources that we have used. With the series said to have aired in the early 1990s, records for that period have not been accessed.
This FORUM POSTING says "I have a friend who grew up in Nepal who said he watched black and white Dr. Who episodes in the early 1990s…", which is all we have to go on.
Stories bought and broadcast
If the reference to "black and white" episodes is accurate, Nepal presumably bought the standard reissue package of the 17 complete William Hartnell stories, and/or the five complete Patrick Troughton stories, and/or some of the black and white Jon Pertwee stories. If the package also included colour episodes, there were likely to have been Tom Baker stories as well.
Transmission
TV listings
We have no information regarding what screened or when, other than it being in "the early 1990s".
