 TV listings have been obtained from the newspaper ''Aden Chronicle''.
 In all listings, the series was called '''Dr Who'''. A few episode titles were named towards the end of the run, but the paper often included the BBC production code as if that was the title, such as '''"PROG G"'''. Sometimes the word "Prog" was misprinted as "Prag". Sometimes just a number was given: '''"Dr Who (No 3)"'''.
