DOCTOR WHO IN THE BAHAMAS
BBC Records
The Bahamas are not identified in any available BBC records. It was reported in the September 1985 issue of Celestial Toyroom that the series had been sold to nine Caribbean countries, although those nine are not named.
Stories bought and broadcast
It is not known what stories aired, but given that a package of assorted Tom Baker stories screened weeks apart in Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago from late 1985, it is more than likely that the Bahamas aired – or at least some of – the same package.
TOM BAKER?
Unknown. If these stories followed the same pattern as those aired by Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago, then it was probably one 6-parter and four 4-parters (22 episodes), likely to be the first five stories of this grouping:
| 4C | The Ark in Space | 4 |
| 4D | Revenge of the Cybermen | 4 |
| 4E | Genesis of the Daleks | 6 |
| 4F | Terror of the Zygons | 4 |
| 4G | Pyramids of Mars | 4 |
| 4H | Planet of Evil | 4 |
| 4J | The Android Invasion | 4 |
| 4K | The Brain of Morbius | 4 |
| 4N | The Hand of Fear | 4 |
| 4M | The Masque of Mandragora | 4 |
| 4L | The Seeds of Doom | 6 |
These programmes would have been supplied as NTSC colour video tapes.
Transmission
The series started on Thursday, 26 June 1986, at 6.30pm. It aired for 21 weeks, and was replaced by the UK comedy Butterflies from 20 November.
The fact that only 21 episodes aired suggests that there was at least one pre-emption during the run, or additional episodes screened without being billed.
There is no clear record that Bahamas screened Doctor Who again.
TV listings
TV listings have been obtained from the newspaper Nassau Tribune.
Listings gave the series name as Dr Who. The timeslot was 6.30 to 7.00 for all episodes.
The Bahamas in Doctor Who
There are no instances where Bahamas is mentioned in the series.
