This page will list UPDATES and NEW pages added.
We would very much like BroaDWcast to also function as an index to Doctor Who clips on YouTube, especially USA pledge-breaks, convention footage and any foreign language clips. If you already know of or stumble across any, please send us the link.
- And don't forget, clicking on the AIRDATES
icon on the country profile pages will take you to the airdates summary for that country (N/S = Not Stated)
- We're on TWITTER. To "Follow" us, please 'click' here or via the link found in the "external sites" section of the left sidebar.
- We also have a dedicated forum and email address - see sidebar to the left.
May 2015
- 5 May: On 5 May 1965, the CBC in Canada was half-way through its brief 26-episode run of Doctor Who. To mark the occasion, we have completely revamped our coverage of the CBC screenings, expanding it into eight separate pages, to now include regional variances in the Western and Central and Atlantic regions, a short run of repeats (yes, repeats!) and we follow the bicycling of kinescope film copies around the Provinces. We also present the CBC Times TV listings, and explore why the CBC dropped the series after only 26 episodes... (Our grateful thanks go to Randy Howell for his efforts researching and compiling the data)
- As a spin-off to this, we have also updated the bicycling chains page (again!), and made adjustments to Ghana and Bermuda.
- And the other Canadian station TVO has been given a spruce up as well.
April 2015
- 30 April: The profiles for Italy and Monaco have been updated to feature some new newspaper clippings, articles and some ratings statistics, and to fix a few layout errors.
- 29 April: Updates have been made to:
- Rhodesia (clarification regarding sanctions on TV films);
- Iran (looks like they may have got Arabic prints after all, and screened only the first episode of An Unearthly Child rather than all 4 episodes);
- Armed Forces Network (we've added the US Panama stations to the profile).
- 4 April: We've made some updates to Brazil: still no sign of the regular series, but we now have dates for the first Peter Cushing movie and the Paul McGann movie. (UPDATE: Layout of this revision has since been revised.)
- 3 April: We've updated the Bermuda page to add some new newspaper clippings, and to update the TV station profile, noting the reason why they dropped Doctor Who after only 26 episodes.
January 2015
- 23 January: 50 years ago today, on 23 January 1965, Doctor Who aired in Canada for the very first time. The CBC was the third station outside the UK to screen the new series.
- 23 January: D'oh! We updated the Australia TX 1965-1967 page last week, but did so using the wrong template. The proper update has now been uploaded.
- 12 January: 50 years ago today, on 12 January 1965, Doctor Who aired in Australia for the very first time. To celebrate, we've given the Australia pages (all 17 of them!) a bit of a tidy up.
