:''Or that's what we thought'', but it turns out that bar a handful (due to extra-special circumstances) '''all''' those fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Doctor series had their foreign premieres in '''West Germany'''!    Although the German broadcaster RTL-Plus began screening McCoy episodes in late 1989, those episodes - and a whole lot more - had already been aired in parts of West Germany by the '''[[British Forces Broadcasting Service]] (BFBS)''', which operated a closed-system  television network that was available only at British military bases dotted around the country. The McCoy stories were also shown by the BFBS on  the [[Falkland Islands]].
