This page will list UPDATES and NEW pages added.
We would very much like BroaDWcast to also function as an index to Doctor Who clips on YouTube, especially USA pledge-breaks, convention footage and any foreign language clips. If you already know of or stumble across any, please send us the link.

2021 Updates
June
- 6 June: NEW profile added for Syria, where a poster for the second Peter Cushing movie was found.
- 6 June: Updates to Hungary (to add the Peter Cushing movies, and other general info), and Germany (to clarify what happened to the Pertwee screenings that were planned for 1991...)
May
- 29 May: Updates to Norway, Sweden and Finland: new info regarding VHS releases added.
- 27 May: The TV Movie was first shown on UK TV 25 years ago. We've been trying to catalogue all the known foreign editions that were released on VHS: so far more than 15 have been identified, and there are likely to be more...
April
March
February
- 20 February: Between 1976 and 1989, each new season of Doctor Who made its overseas broadcast debut in a different country - either the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Australia, New Zealand or the United States...
- Or that's what we thought, but it turns out that bar a handful (due to extra-special circumstances) all those fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Doctor series had their foreign premieres in West Germany! Although the German broadcaster RTL-Plus began screening McCoy episodes in late 1989, those episodes - and a whole lot more - had already been aired in parts of West Germany by the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS), which operated a closed-system television network that was available only at British military bases dotted around the country. The McCoy stories were also shown by the BFBS on the Falkland Islands.
- We've added the new BFBS profile, and a page for the Falkland Islands, plus made various changes and additions to the pages for the Netherlands (parts of which could receive the military signals), Germany, Belize, Gibraltar and Cyprus accordingly.
- 19 February 2021: This is our tenth anniversary. The site was officially launched on 19 February 2011 at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles. A big Thank you to all our readers and supporters - and an even bigger special Thank you to our contributors - see the very long list on the Main Page. We couldn't have done this without you.
- This website turns TEN on 19 February. We were going to have a party with cake, balloons and clowns, but that's been scrapped due to COVID. Instead, each day over the next ten days we'll be Tweeting a "Fun Fact" highlighting something of interest that was discovered during research. On the tenth day, we'll be uploading a new profile - that of a previously unfamiliar broadcaster who was actually the first to... Well, that would be telling!
January
- 17 January: Update to Portugal and Brazil to include further info regarding the Peter Cushing Dalek films.
