'''[https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniseries UNISERIES]''' was a pay cable station, part of the [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen_Satelital_(empresa) Imagen Satelital] network founded in 1990. It was based in Buenos Aires, [[Argentina]].

'''Imagen Satelital''' operated several specialty channels, such as '''Infinito''' (for documentaries); '''I-Sat''' (music); '''Space''' (movie) and '''Jupiter Comic''' (comedies). For classic TV drama, it launched '''Universo Series''' in February 1994..

The channels were available on '''Cablevisión Channel 37, Multicanal 40, Telecentro 35''', '''DirectTV 125''' and cable systems in:
*[[Argentina]]
*[[Bolivia]]
*[[Chile]]
*[[Paraguay]]
*[[Uruguay]]

In September 1998, '''Universo Series''' was renamed '''Uniseries'''. Four years later, '''Doctor Who''' aired on '''Uniseries'''.

The '''Uniseries''' channel was replaced by '''Retro''' on 2 March 2003. In 2007, Imagen Satelital was bought out by the Time-Warner group. Under the new management, '''Retro''' continued for two more years, and was eventually closed down in '''April 2009'''.

It was announced on [https://web.archive.org/web/20011025093749/http://www.gallifreyone.com:80/news.shtml the old Outpost Gallifrey news pages in August 2001] that: "Imagen Satelital, a Latin American broadcaster, has licensed the rights to the 13th season of Doctor Who (Tom Baker's 2nd season), for Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. It could appear on the following channels after [1 October 2001]: Uniseries, Space, I. Sat, Infinito, Jupiter Comic. Good news for Latin American fans."

As noted above, it was the '''Uniseries''' channel that ultimately aired the series.

Later, according to the original '''This Week in Doctor Who''' newsletters, some of the stories being shown featured Leela and K9, which indicates that the package extended beyond season 13, and included stories from seasons 14 and 15. But with there being three separate broadcast cycles, two of which were of odd-numbered runs, does mean that the available airdates info isn't necessarily complete.

The '''This Week''' data states that the episodes had [[Spanish]] subtitles. This would be a first, since all previous [[:Category:South America|South American]] screenings of Tom Baker stories in the late 1970s and 1980s used the copies dubbed into [[Spanish]], while the various regional stations in [[Spain]] re-dubbed the episodes they had into their own languages.

Based on the above, the following were '''likely to be''' the stories that screened:

18 stories, 78 episodes?

Unlike other sales to [[Spanish]]-speaking countries, these episodes were in English, and aired with Spanish subtitles.

Of note, the 7-year sales period on each in this batch of stories would have expired between 2002 and 2005. That the '''Uniseries''' run suddenly concluded at the end of December 2002 - possibly even mid-story - suggests that their rights to screen these stories had the end of the year as a fixed deadline.

==Transmission==

The first listing for '''Doctor Who''' on the '''Uniseries''' channel reported by '''This Week…''' was on Sunday, '''5 May 2002''' at 9:30pm, in a half-hour block.

On that date, the Argentinian online paper ''El Litoral'' had a brief introductory piece [https://www.ellitoral.com/index.php/diarios/2002/05/05/pantallayescenarios/PAN-05.html HERE], which refers to this as the "estreno" (premiere) episode.

The online newspaper [https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/television/el-padre-de-los-simpson-nid393640 ''La Nacion'' also mentioned the series on 2 June 2002.]

After six weeks of single screenings, a second episode was added to the schedule, commencing Monday, '''10 June 2002''' at 4:30am. It's not known if this was the same as the previous 9.30pm episode or the start of a fresh cycle of stories.

By July 2002, a ''third'' episode had been added to the schedule, this run screening at 9.30am on Sundays. Again, it's not known if this was the same episode as either of the other two, or the beginning of a third separate cycle of stories. The first airdate noted for this timeslot was in the '''This Week''' bulletin covering '''7 July 2002''', but it's not known if this was the actual debut of the run in that slot. It's possible that slot had been running for several weeks by then.

In the [https://twidw.doctorwhonews.net/archive.php?edition=2002-10-02%2012%3A20%3A51&fbclid=IwAR2eQZFy1Cq_ij_tnCmGhm1xkMnq6l9KF51oUrbMfLdyqjwbiS8AFw4r0kI#twid_7931 '''This Week''' bulletin published 2 October 2002], it was announced that '''Uniseries''' had been airing stories featuring Leela and K9, and that they were subtitled. It's not known which of the three timeslots this news related to, or when that TARDIS team-up debuted. (This was ''probably'' the 9.30pm cycle, with the two other cycles screening different stories.)
[[File:UniseriesLaNacion.JPG|right|thumb|450px|"Dr Who" is number 5 of 12 programme highlights; La Nacion, 1 December 2002]]

The series had by this time been running for 22 weeks in the 9.30pm slot. For stories from season 15 to be screening by then, '''Uniseries''' must have skipped a number of serials and jumped ahead.

The 9.30am episode was dropped after 17 weeks - '''This Week''' reporting that the '''27 October''' screening was the last. That this is an odd number either means the listings details are inaccurate (the 9.30am slot actually debuted earlier than indicated?), or the channel did stop a story part-way through. (Without confirmed listings, it is ''possible'' that the 4.30am airings were omnibus editions, and all 18 '''stories''' aired.)

The 4.30am / 9.30pm cycle continued for ten more weeks.

On [https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/el-otro-lado-de-la-caja-boba-nid582947 1 December 2002, La Nacion] included '''"Dr Who"''' at number 5 in its list of 12 programme highlights of 2002.

The final listings found by '''This Week''' for '''Doctor Who''' on the '''Uniseries''' site was the last of the 9.30pm episodes, on Sunday, '''29 December''', and the last at 4.30am on Monday, '''30 December 2002'''.

If the '''This Week''' data is complete, then '''82''' separate screenings took place across the three timeslots: '''35''' on Sunday at 9.30pm, '''17''' on Sundays at 9.30am, and '''30''' on Mondays at 4.30am.

Since only 35 episodes had aired in the 9.30pm slot, it does appear that '''Uniseries''' ended a story mid-way through. This would make sense if '''Uniseries''' only had the rights to screen the series until the end of 2002, and had to literally stop when they did irrespective of whether or not they had screened all the episodes they had acquired.

Alternatively, they didn't air an episode on 29 December, and the shorter 34 week run had concluded on 22 December instead. (This would mean that the 34 week run was made up seven 4-parters and one 6-parter, or four 4-parters and three 6-parters.)

Interestingly, if the 'package' they had acquired was indeed seasons 13, 14 and 15 in full, that's 78 episodes / 18 stories. And there are 82 airdates recorded by '''This Week''' - did '''Uniseries''' air those 78 across the three different timeslots, and repeat a 4-parter?

With there being no titles in the '''Uniseries''' guide at the time, and the lack of any historical data available online, we will never know exactly what aired on those 82 airdates.

==TV listings==
{{airdates-left|}}

Our summary has been extrapolated from the '''This Week in Doctor Who''' bulletins, which were themselves pulled from '''Uniseries''' online schedules (all now long gone, although some generic pages from the station's site in 2002 have been captured by the '''WayBack Machine''' - see below).

The '''Uniseries''' site did not provide any story titles for the three timeslots. If stories featuring Leela and K9 were screening by as early as October 2002, this could only be if the station aired the stories out of sequence.

-Alternatively, they didn't air an episode on 29 December, and the shorter 34 week run had concluded on 22 December instead. (This would mean that the 34 week run was made up seven 4-parters and one 6-parter, or four 4-parters and three 6-parters.)
+But if only 35 episodes did air in the 9.30pm slot, then '''Uniseries''' ended a story mid-way through. This would make sense if '''Uniseries''' only had the rights to screen the series until the end of 2002, and had to literally stop when they did irrespective of whether or not they had screened all the episodes they had acquired.
-Interestingly, if the 'package' they had acquired was indeed seasons 13, 14 and 15 in full, that's 78 episodes / 18 stories. And there are 82 airdates recorded by '''This Week''' - did '''Uniseries''' air those 78 across the three different timeslots, and repeat a 4-parter?
+Alternatively, they didn't air an episode on 29 December, and the shorter 34-week run had concluded on 22 December instead. (This would mean that the 34 week run would be made up five 4-parters, one 2-parter and two 6-parters.)
 With there being no titles in the '''Uniseries''' guide at the time, and the lack of any historical data available online, we will never know exactly what aired on those 82 airdates.

-The 9.30am episode was dropped after 17 weeks - '''This Week''' reporting that the '''27 October''' screening was the last.

 The '''Uniseries''' site did not provide any story titles for the three timeslots. If stories featuring Leela and K9 were screening by as early as October 2002, this could only be if the station aired the stories out of sequence.
