Doctor Who screened in omnibus movie format on Saturday mornings, on the Nickelodeon cable channel link-up with 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 identifies stories could have been repeated to make up the 37 or so airdates

There is no clear record that South Korea screened Doctor Who again.

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 did not air. (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 - naming 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 puts both The Android Invasion and The Seeds of Doom in the listings.

The last Nickelodeon: Dr Who listing is on 22 November 1986. Assuming Doctor Who aired on the dates with no listing, then 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.
