:''Or that's what we thought'', but it turns out that bar a handful (due to extra-special circumstances) '''all''' those fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Doctor series had their foreign premieres in '''West Germany'''!    Although the German broadcaster RTL-Plus began screening McCoy episodes in late 1989, those episodes - and a whole lot more - had already been aired in parts of West Germany by the '''[[British Forces Broadcasting Service]] (BFBS)''', which operated a closed-system  television network that was available only at British military bases dotted around the country. The McCoy stories were also shown by the BFBS on  the [[Falkland Islands]].

Instead, each day over the next ten days we'll be Tweeting a "Fun Fact" highlighting something of interest that was discovered during research. On the tenth day, we'll be uploading a new profile - that of a previously unfamiliar broadcaster who was actually the first to... Well, that would be telling!

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 Airdates icon icon on the country profile pages will take you to the airdates summary for that country (N/S = story title is 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
