UKTV Drama is a satellite channel seen in the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of the UKTV network.
The channel was launched in November 1997 as UK Arena. It was renamed UKTV Drama in March 2000.
A short run of selected Doctor Who episodes aired in July 2007, including the "Pilot" version of An Unearthly Child. Episodes from the new series were also shown.
Then, between January and October 2008, the station aired all the Tom Baker stories, with some episodes airing twice during the day, and several stories were also later repeated out of sequence.
In October 2008, the station was rebranded as Alibi (aka alibi); since the new station concentrated on crime dramas, all other shows were moved to Gold or the newly-created Watch. By this time, the run of Doctor Who episodes had recently ended.
Australia and New Zealand both had a pay satellite channel called BBC UKTV (launched in 1996) which broadcast Doctor Who, but despite having a similar name, this broadcaster was not affiliated with the UK channel -- see BBC UKTV.
