− | | |
− | The Republic of Korea began its television service in 1956. The country has its own publicly owned TV stations
| |
− | | |
− | '''Doctor Who''' aired on the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Forces_Network#Korea AMERICAN FORCES KOREA NETWORK]''' (established in South Korea in 1957); the series was part of the line-up on the AFKN '''Nickelodeon''' channel, which operated in Seoul (on cable channel 2); Pusan (ch 2); Taegu (ch 12); Taejon (ch 12); Kwangju (ch 13) and Wonju (ch 2).
| |
− | | |
− | All programming on AFKN was in English.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | =='''DOCTOR WHO IN SOUTH KOREA'''==
| |
− | | |
− | South Korea was about the '''56th''' country to screen '''Doctor Who''' (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
| |

− | ==[[BBC Records]]==
| |
− | | |
− | In '''DWM''', Korea is identified in the story Archive for {{BBB}}, with a date of 1977.
| |
− | | |
− | As there were no TV listings found for '''Doctor Who''' from 1972 to 1985, we can assume that the 1977 sale was cancelled.
| |
− | | |
− | In '''The Eighties''' - [http://www.shillpages.com/howe/b-dw80s.htm THE LOST CHAPTERS], records a sale of '''"(4)"''' stories to '''Korea Republic''' by 10 February 1987. These sales apply to the (more than four!) [[Tom Baker stories]] that aired in 1986.

− | '''Doctor Who''' screened in omnibus movie format on Saturday mornings, on the '''[[wikipedia:Nick_(Korea)|Nickelodeon]]''' cable channel on '''AFKN-TV'''.
| |
− | | |
− | The first clear listing for '''Doctor Who''' is on '''5 April 1986''', with a timeslot of 9.45am to 12.00 given for the 6-parter, [[Genesis of the Daleks]]. However, all subsequent listings are for 10.20am to 12.00, even for [[The Seeds of Doom]], which is also a 6-parter.
| |
− | | |
− | The last clear listing for '''Doctor Who''' is on '''28 June 1986''', with [[The Robots of Death]]. All subsequent listings just say '''Nickelodeon''', with the same 10.20 to 12.00 timeslot, so we can only assume that '''Doctor Who''' continued airing, and stopped from '''29 November''', when the billings for '''"Nickelodeon"''' stop.
| |
− | | |
− | As noted above, '''The Eighties''' records a sale of only '''"(4)"''' stories, which is clearly inaccurate; there are '''37''' airdates, which potentially takes the run of stories up to mid-way into Season 18...
| |
− | | |
− | Alternatively, some of the 16 identified stories could have been repeated.
| |
− | | |
− | There is no clear record that South Korea screened classic '''Doctor Who''' again.

− | [[File:Korea TV.JPG|thumb|350px|right|TV listings schedule, 7 June 1986]]
| |
− | We have viewed the English language newspaper ''Korean Herald'' for all of 1972 through to all of 1984, and there were no listings for '''Doctor Who'''; the [[Jon Pertwee stories]] apparently did not air, hence our view that the 1977 sales never proceeded. (Other BBC programmes that did air at that time were '''I, Claudius''' and '''The Goodies'''.)
| |
− | | |
− | The ''Korea Times'', however did contain some listings for the [[Tom Baker stories]] in 1986.
| |
− | | |
− | The first listing with the 10.20m to 12.00 timeslot headed '''"Nickelodeon"''', was on '''15 March 1986'''. Three weeks later, on '''5 April''', the first billing specifically identifying '''"Nickelodeon: Dr Who"''' appears – for [[Genesis of the Daleks]] - which supports that the series did indeed start on '''15 March'''.
| |
− | | |
− | Listings are inconsistent: they either say '''"Nickelodeon: Dr Who"''' with the story title, or they just say '''"Nickelodeon"''', albeit with the same timeslot. And for three listings in September and October there are no TV listings for programmes prior to noon.
| |
− | | |
− | On '''24 May and 31 May 1986''', a printing error places both [[The Android Invasion]] and [[The Seeds of Doom]] in the same listing.
| |
− | | |
− | The last '''"Nickelodeon: Dr Who"''' listing is on '''22 November 1986'''. Assuming '''Doctor Who''' aired on the dates with no listing, then a total of 37 "movies" aired. It is impossible to determine what the other stories to air could have been, but if we assume that there were no repeats, and no stories were skipped, then the final story may have been [[Full Circle]].
