==Population==
 
 
 
When '''Doctor Who''' screened in Libya in 1968, the population was 1.5 million, and licensed TV sets numbered XXXXXXXXXXX (per [[WRTH]], XXX).
 
 
 
==TV & system==
 
 
 
Libya began its television service in 1968.
 
 
 
There is just one television station: '''Libyan Broadcasting & TV Service''', a government-owned commercial broadcaster.
 
 
 
Colour transmissions began in 1976 using the [[Wikipedia:PAL|PAL]] colour broadcast system.
 
 
 
==Language/s==
 
 
 
The main languages of Libya are [[Arabic]] and French. Television was broadcast in both languages. English newspapers, however, were also published in Tripoli.
 
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO IN LIBYA'''==
 
 
 
Libya was the 32nd country to screen '''Doctor Who'''; it was the 11th in [[:Category:Africa|Africa]], and the fifth to broadcast the [[Arabic]] language versions (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
Libya is not recorded in the '''The Seventies''' list from 1977; nor is it named in any of the '''DWM''' story Archives.
 
 
 
Libya is, however, named in ''The Making of Doctor Who'' (1972 edition).
 
 
 
[[Morocco]] was the previous [[Arabic]] speaking country in [[:Category:Africa|Africa]] to screen the series – well over a year earlier - so it's possible that Libya was sent the same set of prints shortly after transmission in Morocco.
 
 
 
==Stories bought and broadcast==
 
 
 
===[[William Hartnell stories|WILLIAM HARTNELL]]===
 
 
 
While it is unknown for sure which stories aired, it is more than likely that Libya got the standard package of nine stories, 37 episodes:

Libya appears to have acquired the standard [[Arabic]] package of GROUP A, B and C of the [[William Hartnell stories]]; like other [[Arabic]] countries, only part one of [[An Unearthly Child]] aired.
 
 
 
The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with [[Arabic]] soundtracks.

No TV listings have been found – yet.
 
 
 
==TV listings==
 
No TV listings have been obtained – yet. ''The Libyan Times'', and English language from Tripoli, were accessed; these went as far as 15 January 1972, but there were no listings for '''Doctor Who'''.
 
 
 
The majority of programmes that aired were American.
 
 
 
==Fate of the Prints==
 
 
 
The next [[Arabic]] and African country to air '''Doctor Who''' was [[Algeria]], in 1973/74. It is therefore possible that Libya sent its prints of the [[Arabic]] dubbed Hartnell stories to [[Algeria]] (which was the last ever country to purchase that package of episodes.
