==December 2015==
*'''16 December 2015''': Airdates for [[KUED]] added.


==November 2015==
*'''23 November''': '''Happy 52nd Anniversary!'''
*'''16 November''': We've given the [[Nigeria]] page an overhaul: we have added some maps, expanded the NTA/NTV coverage of Tom Baker screenings in the 1980s, ask did Troughton episodes ever screen there in the 1980s?, and reveal who "The Son of Dr Who" really was... 
*'''3 November''': Major update to [[Philippines]]: we have found the airdates for the GMA Channel 7 screenings in 1989, plus revised the layout and given the page a general tidy up. 
*Small update to the [[Mormon Mystery]]: "The World About Us" did air in New Zealand after all.


==October 2015==
*'''18 October''': '''60 years ago''' on this day, the third part of John Lucarotti's serialised account of Marco Polo's travels in China aired on the CBC in Canada. And no, that isn't an error! Very little is known about [[Radio Marco|Lucarotti's 1955 radio play that was the inspiration behind the well-regarded '''Doctor Who''' serial, so we decided to investigate...]]
*'''13 October''': We note with interest that both Wikipedia pages mentioned in the [[Mormon Mystery|Morman Master Plan Mystery]] have recently been amended!
*'''8 October''': A small addenda to the [[Mormon Mystery|Morman Master Plan Mystery]]: some terminology changes (the church was by definition a chapel, not a temple), and an additional solution for how the films got there. 


==September 2015==
*'''30 September''': Around this time some '''32 years ago''', the fan-press reported that two "missing" episodes of [[The Daleks' Master Plan]] had been found in the basement of [[Mormon Mystery|a Mormon Church. Or were they.......?]]
*An airdates table for the first three years of [[KAET]] has been added.


==July 2015==
*'''50 years''' ago today, on '''7 July 1965''', an internal memo was issued by the BBC which identified that something called '''"T.I.E."''' had purchased 26 episodes of '''Doctor Who'''. To celebrate that milestone we've given our [[TIE Ltd]] page a complete overhaul. (''Our grateful thanks go to Steve Traves for his stirling (!) work tracking down the documentation referred to in the update'')
**We've also revised the [[New Chains|Bicycling Chains]] page (again, sorry) to reflect the new information.


==May 2015==
*'''5 May''': On 5 May 1965, the [[CBC]] in [[Canada]] was half-way through its brief 26-episode run of '''Doctor Who'''. To mark the occasion, we have '''completely revamped''' our coverage of the [[CBC]] screenings, expanding it into eight separate pages, to now include regional variances in the [[Western Canada|Western and Central]] and [[Atlantic Canada|Atlantic regions]], a short run of [[Saskatchewan Repeats|repeats (yes, repeats!)]] and we follow the [[Kinescope Stations|bicycling of kinescope film copies]] around the Provinces. We also present the [[CBC Times|''CBC Times'' TV listings]], and explore why the [[CBC Dropped|CBC dropped the series]] after only 26 episodes... (''Our grateful thanks go to Randy Howell for his efforts researching and compiling this data'')
*As a spin-off to this, we have also updated the [[New Chains|bicycling chains page]] (again!), and made adjustments to [[Ghana]] and [[Bermuda]].
*And the other Canadian station [[TVO]] has been given a spruce up as well. 


==April 2015==
*'''30 April''': The profiles for [[Italy]] and [[Monaco]] have been updated to feature some new newspaper clippings, articles and some ratings statistics, and to fix a few layout errors. 
*'''29 April''': Updates have been made to: 
**[[Rhodesia]] (clarification regarding sanctions on TV films); 
**[[Iran]] (looks like they may have got Arabic prints after all, and screened only the first episode of [[An Unearthly Child]] rather than all 4 episodes); 
**[[Armed Forces Network]] (we've added the US Panama stations to the profile).
*'''4 April''': We've made some updates to [[Brazil]]: still no sign of the regular series, but we now have dates for the first Peter Cushing movie and the Paul McGann movie. (UPDATE: Layout of this revision has since been revised.)
*'''3 April''': We've updated the [[Bermuda]] page to add some new newspaper clippings, and to update the TV station profile, noting the reason why they dropped '''Doctor Who''' after only 26 episodes.  


==January 2015==
*'''23 January''': 50 years ago today, on 23 January 1965, '''Doctor Who''' aired in [[Canada]] for the very first time. The CBC was the third station outside the UK to screen the new series.    
*'''23 January''': ''D'oh!'' We updated the [[Australia TX 1965-1967]] page last week, but did so using the wrong template. The proper update has now been uploaded.  
*'''12 January''': 50 years ago today, on 12 January 1965, '''Doctor Who''' aired in [[Australia]] for the very first time. To celebrate, we've given the Australia pages (all 17 of them!) a bit of a tidy up.
