Cable and Satellite Stations

Doctor Who has aired on a number of cable and satellite stations over the years, and this was the only method by which some countries - particularly those in Europe - could view the series on a regular basis (albeit in English).

Episodes aired on Sundays at 9:30pm, and again on Monday, at 4:30am!

The serials were broadcast in English but with Spanish subtitles, the first time this method was adopted; previously, broadcasts in Spanish-language countries were dubbed.

Regular screenings had concluded by January 2003.

Doctor Who screened on Australia's FOXTEL / UKTV from 1 August 1996.
