		+	One remote possibility is that these transmissions were coming from [[Costa Rica]], which ''did'' air a long run of '''Doctor Who''' starting in February 1980 with the occasion break through to at least July 1983 - which is when the TV listings suddenly stop. It is an assumption that these 330+ episodes were the 98 Spanish-dubbed Tom Bakers on a repeat cycle… BUT could some of these have been Peter Davison stories (in English)? With no printed story titles to tell us either way we will never know for sure… Plus, for signals to travel the 1200 kms from Costa Rica to (say) Bogota would only be possible with relay stations or satellite link-ups, which perhaps didn't exist at that time…

	But if Pertwee and Davison '''didn't''' screen on Colombian TV, and there is no likelihood he was viewing broadcasts from a neighbouring country, a local private station or on video, or on a cable / satellite station (even one from the United States), what was it he was watching if it wasn't '''"Dr Misterio"'''?
