Europe
While the BBC had moderate success with selling Doctor Who in the 1960s to Mediterranean countries such as Malta, Gibraltar and Cyprus, it had limited success selling the series to continental Europe. Only the Netherlands sampled the programme, in 1975.
According to the DXXXX, issue dated XX February 1977, this was because Doctor Who was "too terrifying for Europe".

A couple of countries - [[Denmark[] and Italy - did sample some Tom Baker stories in 1979/1980. But it really wasn't until the late 1980s, that the BBC made any breakthrough in selling the good Doctor to major players in Europe.
