| − | Zambia began its television service in 1961.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is only one national television broadcaster, '''Television Zambia (ZTV)'''; in 1979 it was the first country to introduce the [[Wikipedia:PAL|PAL]] colour system within Africa.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the mid-1960s, '''ZTV''' operated from two regional stations: the northern station broadcasting from the Copperbelt / Kitwe district (on channel 4), and the southern station broadcasting from the capital, Lusaka (on channel 3). (Transmissions from Lusaka commenced from 25 December 1965.)

| − | Zambia therefore bought GROUPs A to F of the [[William Hartnell stories]] (the only other country to buy this run of 117 episodes was [[Barbados]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The programme was supplied as 16mm black and white film prints with English soundtracks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Origins of the Prints?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Zambia's prints of the first eleven Hartnell stories were definitely sourced from [[Rhodesia / Zimbabwe]], which was the previous [[:Category:Africa|African]] country to screen those eleven stories.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Nigeria]] may have been the source of the season two episodes. Zambia was the first African nation to screen the stories from season three.

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Origins of the Prints?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Zambia was the only African country to screen the set of twelve Troughtons that was supplied. These may have been sourced from [[Gibraltar]].

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''KITWE / COPPERBELT'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The series was scheduled to commence from Sunday, '''19 September 1965''', however the films were not received from [[Rhodesia / Zimbabwe]] in time, so the scheduled programme was replaced with an episode of the Canadian series,
| |
| − | [[wikipedia:Forest Rangers|The Forest Rangers]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The very fact that Rhodesia commenced the series on '''26 September 1965''', which was the week '''after''' the scheduled date for its debut in Zambia, strongly implies that Rhodesia's own debut of the series had also been delayed, presumably due to non-arrival of the films (from [[Nigeria]]?).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Doctor Who''' was re-scheduled by ZTV for the following week, but the '''26 September 1965''' screening was also pre-empted by The Forest Rangers, again due to non-receipt of the '''Doctor Who''' films from Rhodesia.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | But the TARDIS failed to materialise on '''3 October 1965'''. The Forest Rangers aired instead.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Third time lucky? Sadly, no: the '''10 October 1965''' screening was also pre-empted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Success! On Sunday, '''17 October 1965''', at 5.40pm, after four weeks of delays, '''Doctor Who''' finally went to air on ZTV.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The time changed to 5.45pm from '''14 November''' with the second serial, [[The Daleks]]. In April, the series moved to Saturdays, but for the first week of the change, an episode aired on Saturday as well as Sunday, '''2 and 3 April'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There was another day change from '''7 June 1966''' – now Tuesdays at 6.10pm - where it remained for the rest of the run, which came to an end on '''6 June 1967''', with part four of [[The Time Meddler]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The series aired over a period spanning 87 weeks, but with there being only 81 episodes to account for, there must have been six weeks on which no episode aired. These pre-emptions appear to have been mainly in February / March 1967 – see TV listings below. (There was no episode on 21 February and 9 May of that year.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *NOTE: TV listings for Kitwe / Copperbelt were not available beyond June 1967, so further details for screenings of '''Doctor Who''' in that area are unknown.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''LUSAKA'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | TV broadcasts were introduced to the southern regions of Zambia from 25 December 1965.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Doctor Who''' commenced in Lusaka from Sunday, '''13 March 1966''', at 5.40pm. However, rather than beginning from the start with [[An Unearthly Child]], the Lusaka screenings started with [[The Keys of Marinus]], which had begun in Kitwe / Copperbelt only the week before (6 March). Lusaka would be supplied with the same film print used by Kitwe until at least 1968.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The day of the week and timeslots for Lusaka changed to match those of the Kitwe broadcasts, before settling in on Tuesdays at 6.20pm from August 1966.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The run concluded on '''13 June 1967''', a week after Kitwe, with [[The Time Meddler]] part four. The Lusaka run also played six weeks more than the number of available episodes. The pre-emptions seem to have occurred in March / April 1967.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Eight months later '''Doctor Who''' returned to the Lusaka region; from Tuesday '''6 February 1968''', at 6.10pm, re-commencing from where the previous run had ended. (Presumably the same episodes aired a week earlier in Kitwe / Copperbelt.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Only two serials aired – [[Galaxy 4]] and [[The Myth Makers]] – before the series took a one week break. (Replaced by Dennis the Menace.) Screenings resumed from '''9 April 1968''' (presumably with [[The Massacre]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The series moved to 5.40pm in June 1968. There was another break of a week between [[The Ark]] and [[The Gunfighters]]. Further pre-emptions occurred during [[The War Machines]] (was there perhaps a problem with the delivery of the films between Kitwe and Lusaka?)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There were several timeslot changes, from 6.00pm, to 6.10, then 6.20pm.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The run concluded on '''5 November 1968''', with (presumably) part four of [[The Smugglers]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===[[Patrick Troughton stories|PATRICK TROUGHTON]]===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the series returned 17 months later, it was with a new Doctor. A further 16 week run commenced from Wednesday, '''8 April 1970''', at 5.50pm; [[BBC Records]] indicate these were [[The Highlanders]] to [[The Macra Terror]]. (The series took a one week break between serials on '''3 June 1970'''.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The microwave network across the country had been established for a few years, so presumably by this time the same episode was screened in both regions at the same time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Neither [[The Tenth Planet]] or [[The Power of the Daleks]] screened in Zambia (most likely on account of the latter having been withdrawn from sale under Terry Nation's agreement with the BBC), so viewers were offered no on-screen explanation for the change in appearance of the lead character.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It wasn't for another '''three years''' that '''Doctor Who''' aired in Zambia again. A 30 week / episode run commenced on Monday, '''11 June 1973''', at 5.50pm. There was a change of time to 6.20pm with the fifth episode, then to 5.30pm from August 1973 to the end of the run, which was '''31 December 1973'''. The serials that aired would have been [[The Faceless Ones]] to [[The Web of Fear]] (skipping [[The Evil of the Daleks]] and [[The Tomb of the Cybermen]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 25 months later, on Thursday, '''5 February 1976''', a 22-week run commenced. The timeslot changed several times, from 6.35pm at the start of the run, to 6.00pm at the end. [[BBC Records]] indicate these 22 weeks were the final three Patrick Troughton serials. (Zambia therefore skipped over six serials.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''185th''' and final episode of '''Doctor Who''' to air in Zambia screened on '''1 July 1976'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There is no clear record that Zambia screened '''Doctor Who''' again, even after the switch to colour in 1979.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Fate of the Prints?====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Uganda]] was the next [[:Category:Africa|African]] country to air the first eleven [[William Hartnell stories]] that had been transmitted in Zambia in 1965-1966.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Nigeria]] may have been the recipient of the Troughton stories that aired in Zambia in 1973.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Zambia was the last country to screen the now-missing serial [[The Space Pirates]].

| |
| − | TV listings have been obtained from the newspapers ''Zambia News'', ''Zambia Mail'' and ''Times of Zambia''. The listings in the ''News'' were in a "Radio and TV Guide" section.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The listings always gave the title as '''"Dr Who"'''. For the four weeks that the series' debut was delayed, the ''Zambia News'' carried a brief explanation as to why this had happened.

| |
| − | *10 October 1965: '''THIRD TIME LUCKY?'''
| |
| − | *17 October 1965: '''TONIGHT, MAYBE?'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''News'' and ''Mail'' carried titles for the majority of the episodes for the 1965 to 1967 run. For the first four serials, the ''News'' carried short synopses.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For the 1968 run, only five of the 36 episodes were identified by title.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On '''14 May 1966''', the ''News'' reprinted an interview with William Hartnell ('''Oh the Agony of being Dr Who''') that had originated in the UK ''Daily Mirror'' (April 1966 – see [[Ghana]].)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The 3 July 1966 issue of the ''News'' TV and Radio Extra featured an interview with Dalek operator Robert Jewell ('''My Dad's a Dalek!''')
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some printing oddities occurred in the papers: for the second serial, the enemy of the Daleks were named as '''"Thaals"'''. Part four of [[The Keys of Marinus]] was given as '''"Shows of Terror"'''. Part three of [[The Sensorites]] was billed by the unusual name of '''"Contamination"'''! Part two of [[The Reign of Terror]] was '''"Quest of Madame Guillotine"'''. The last three episodes of [[The Web Planet]] were also mixed up or duplicated. [[Galaxy 4]] part three was listed as '''"Air Look"'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Between October 1966 and April 1967 there were quite a few newspapers missing. As noted above, there are six weeks more than the number of episodes; presumably there were pre-emptions on the dates for which no paper was available. (If so, the majority of these 'breaks' were between episodes of [[The Space Museum]] and [[The Chase]].)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | During the 1968 run, the ''Zambia Mail'' did not always have TV listings; instead an apology was printed that that they were unable to publish the listings "as they were not available from TVZ at the time of going to press". This means the start date of '''6 February 1968''' of that run is only assumed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | None of the listings for the 1970, 1973 and 1976 runs had episode titles: the listings give the title as '''"Dr Who"'''.
