==Population==
 
 
 
When '''Doctor Who''' screened in Netherlands in 1974, the population was 13.4 million, and licensed TV sets numbered nearly 4 million (per [[WRTH]], 1966). By 1984, these figures had increased to 14.25 million, and 6 million ([[WRTH]], 1984).
 
 
 
==TV & system==
 
 
 
Netherlands began its television service in 1951.
 
 
 
There is just one television station: '''Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS)'''. This later became '''Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS)'''.
 
 
 
Colour transmissions began in 1968 using the [[Wikipedia:PAL|PAL]] colour broadcast system.
 
 
 
==Language/s==
 
 
 
The main language of Netherlands is Dutch, however English is also in common usage. Foreign television programmes are broadcast with their original language, with Dutch subtitles.
 
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO IN THE NETHERLANDS / HOLLAND'''==
 
 
 
The Netherlands was the 37th country to screen '''Doctor Who''', but the first in Continental Europe (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
 
 
 
It was also the very first country to air [[Tom Baker stories]], playing season 12 less than seven months, and season 13 less than four months after their original UK broadcasts.
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
'''The Seventies''' records a sale of '''9''' stories to Holland by 28 February 1977. This figure is correct in terms of the number of [[Tom Baker stories]] that did air 1975 to 1976.
 
 
'''The Eighties''' [http://www.shillpages.com/howe/b-dw80s.htm - The Lost Chapters] records a sale of '''20''' stories to Holland (by 10 February 1987).
 
 
 
The DWAS newszine ''Celestial Toyroom'' reported in the November 1985 issue that "The Dutch are trying '''Doctor Who''' again after a long break from the programme, Holland have bought the first twelve Peter Davison stories". Since only nine stories aired, either the reported figure of 12 is wrong, or three additional stories were purchased but did not go to air.
 
 
 
If '''The Eighties''' total of 20 includes the 1977 total of 9, then there are 11 additional stories; and yet CT says it was 12, but only 9 aired, so there is an error somewhere within these two totals.
 
 
 
In '''DWM''', Holland is identified in '''17''' story Archives; it is not named in the Archive for {{4A}}
 
 
 
In issue 54 (XXXX), a reader from Holland reports that "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX". And issue 168 (November 1990) features a full in depth article by Patrick Bremmers about the series playing in Holland.
 
 
 
==Stories bought and broadcast==
 
 
 
===[[Tom Baker stories|TOM BAKER]]===
 
 
 
Nine stories, 36 episodes:

The Netherlands therefore bought GROUP A and B of the [[Tom Baker stories]], with the exception of two stories ({{4E}} and {{4G}}, presumably due to censorship.
 
 
 
The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes with English soundtracks, which were aired with subtitles in Dutch.
 
 
 
===[[Peter Davison stories|PETER DAVISON]]===
 
 
 
Nine stories, 34 episodes (but not aired in the correct order):

|}
 
 
 
The Netherlands therefore bought GROUP A and B of the [[Peter Davison stories]], with the exception of [[Castrovalva]].
 
 
 
If the report in CT was correct, and 12 Davison stories were purchased, then three of these did not go to air.
 
 
 
The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes with English soundtracks, and broadcast with Dutch subtitles.
 
 
 
==Transmission==
 
 
 
===[[Tom Baker stories|TOM BAKER]]===
 
 
 
The series started on Monday, 28 July 1975, at 7.05pm, with [[Robot]]. (The station was NOS.) The series aired at this time until 20 October when it changed to 7.30pm. As with all other screenings around the world, [[The Sontaran Experiment]] played before [[The Ark in Space]], in terms of their respective production codes {{4B}} and {{4C}}.
 
 
 
During [[Revenge of the Cybermen]], the series shifted to playing on a fortnightly basis, 
 
 
 
Two stories were missed – [[Genesis of the Daleks]] and [[Pyramids of Mars]] – presumably on account of censorship. One of the reasons why the series was eventually dropped by NOS was due to the horrific nature of the series.
 
 
 
As noted [[:Category:Europe|HERE]], the BBC found it difficult to sell the series within Europe for that very reason...
 
 
 
And the time that the Baker stories were airing, a series of translations of the Target Books novelisations was published:
 
 
 
* XXXXXXXXX
 
* YYYYYYYYY
 
* ZZZZZZZZZ
 
* AAAAAAAAA
 
* BBBBBBBB
 
* FFFFFFFFF
 
* GGGGGGGG
 
* HHHHHHHH
 
 
 
 
 
===[[Peter Davison stories|PETER DAVISON]]===
 
 
 
After a nine year gap, Holland's TV broadcaster (now called TROS) gave the series another go. From Monday, 30 September 1985, the Peter Davison era began, not with [[Castrovalva]], but with [[Four to Doomsday]]. The next two stories aired in production coder order ({{5X}} and {{5Y}}.
 
 
 
The nine story run played at different times, ranging between 3.30pm and 4.47pm. The stories aired in English with Dutch subtitles. There were three weeks when the series was pre-empted. 
 
 
 
One of the stories to air was [[Arc of Infinity]], which had its location filming undertaken in Amsterdam.
 
 
 
The run ended on 7 July 1986, with both episodes of [[Black Orchid]] airing back to back (from 4.18pm to 5.05pm).
 
 
 
 
 
==TV listings==
 
 
 
TV listings have been obtained from '''DWM''' issue 168 (November 1990), and the Dutch fan website: [http://www.denederlandsedoctorwhopagina.nl/Doctor%20Who.htm DE NEDERLANDSE DOCTOR WHO PAGINA]
