* '''[[wikipedia:TVG|TV de Galicia (TVG)]]'''''
 
*'''TVG''' commenced broadcasts on 24 July 1985.
 
 
 
The official language of Galicia is Galician, a derivative of Portuguese. Like all TVG programming, '''Doctor Who''' was dubbed into that language.
 
 
 
 
 
=='''DOCTOR WHO (DOUTOR WHO) IN SPAIN / GALICIA'''==
 
 
 
The sale to Spain / Galicia was towards the tail-end of the Third Wave of sales, but also one of the first sales to [[:Category:Europe|Europe]] (see [[Selling Doctor Who]]).
 
 
 
 
 
==[[BBC Records]]==
 
 
 
None of our principal [[BBC Records]] sources report the sale to Spain/Galicia.
 
 
 
In '''DWB''' issue 43 (May 1987), there is a report that a sale was made to Spain "at the recent European TV Fair, months after France did a U-turn"... Given the February 1988 start date of '''Doutor Who''' on TVG, this sale to "Spain" would appear to be to the Galicia region.
 
 
 
A profile for '''Doctor Who''' - in the Galician language - can be found on wikipedia:

The exact number of stories that aired is unknown.
 
 
 
But this forum entry [http://modestoweb.org/?p=849 MAIS ANIVERSARIOS "O" DOUTOR] wishes Tom Baker a 'Happy Birthday', and goes to say: "Foi mundialmente famoso por ter sido o cuarto Doutor Who, cuxas dúas primeiras temporadas (1974-75 e 1975-76) foron emitidas pola TVG nos anos oitenta", which translates as "He was world famous for being the fourth Doctor Who, whose first two seasons (1974-75 and 1975-76) were issued by TVG in the eighties". If this statement is true, then at least the first eleven Tom Baker stories (46 episodes) aired:

From comments made in this [http://www.blogoteca.com/villakampa/index.php?cod=8594 BLOG], and this [http://www.cinefantastico.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=6337&highlight=gozalo+uriarte FORUM], the run included at least the '''Cybermen''' and '''Dalek''' adventures. The "Mais Aniversarios "O" Doutor" blogger names [[The Android Invasion]] for the picture caption, but it's unclear whether this is was one of the broadcast serials...
 
 
 
The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes, and these were dubbed into Galician.
 
 
 
The voice artist who dubbed for Tom Baker was [http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Uriarte GONZALO URIARTE], who bears an uncanny resemblance to a young William Hartnell!
 
 
 
Uriarte worked primarily as a voice actor, dubbing many actors (such as Roy Scheider and Tom Baker), but is chiefly known as the Galician voice of actor Peter O'Toole.

===[[Tom Baker stories|TOM BAKER]]===
 
 
 
The series – known in Galicia as '''Doutor Who''' (pronounced "Doh-tor") - commenced on Tuesday, '''23 February 1988''', starting with [[Robot]].
 
 
 
* [http://25anos.crtvg.es/tvg25/anoaano/1988/61 CLICK TO SEE A CLIP FROM "ROBOT" IN GALICIAN]
 
 
 
We can see from this clip that the character names were retained (Sullivan, Benton), as was Dudley Simpson's incidental score.  
 
 
 
(In his '''DWM''' 204 (September 1993) interview, Simpson makes the mistaken comment that "when they started to screen '''Doctor Who''' in [[France]] and Spain they didn't have separate music and effects tracks. The only thing they can do is put subtitles on top of the existing programme".)
 
 
 
No further details are known about the screenings; presumably the series ran on a weekly basis. If there were indeed 46 episodes, and the series ran uninterrupted, it would have concluded sometime in early 1989.

==Spain in Doctor Who==
 
Although this profile is mainly for Galicia, we thought we'd put other references for Spain here as well, since there isn't a separate profile for the country as a whole:
 
 
 
* The Spanish conqueror, Cortez, destroyed the Aztec civilisation, as discussed by Barbara and Susan ([[The Aztecs]]).
 
* In 1572, Spain was at war with France ([[The Massacre]]).
 
* One of Pike's crew was called Spaniard ([[The Smugglers]]).
 
* Chameleon Tours flew regularly to Spain ([[The Faceless Ones]]).
 
* During their search for the Master, UNIT "arrested" the Spanish Ambassador ([[Colony in Space]]).
 
* The Doctor took on the stance of a matador during his fight with the bull-like Minotaur ([[The Time Monster]]).
