DOMINICA is a small island in the Caribbean, not to be confused with Dominican Republic.
BBC Records
In The Eighties - THE LOST CHAPTERS, a sale of "(7)" stories is recorded for Dominica, prior to February 1987.
However, it's not clear if this is a reference to Dominica, the Commonwealth island nation of that name, or an abbreviation for Dominican Republic, a much larger, Spanish-speaking nation, also in the Caribbean, which had apparently screened William Hartnell stories back in the late 1960s.
Dominica does not have its own television service, but does have cable television (such as Marpin TV) plus feeds from the United States and other Caribbean nations, and therefore might not have been one of the nine Caribbean countries to which the series had been sold in 1985 – see Caribbean for more on this event.
One Dominican newspaper was checked, but there were no TV listings.
