Television Stations / Channels
Poland began its television service in 1953. There is just one television station: Telewizja Polska (TVP1)
Colour transmissions began in 1971 using the SECAM colour broadcast system that was common throughout Europe. TVP changed to the PAL system in 1995.
In Poland, foreign programmes are usually always dubbed.
DOCTOR WHO (DOKTOR WHO) IN POLAND
Poland was one of the last – at least ahead of Sweden – countries in Europe to screen the series (see Selling Doctor Who).
In Polish, the series was probably called Doktor Who.
BBC Records
Poland is not mentioned in The Seventies, The Handbook or DWM.
Poland is, however, mentioned as having aired the series in the 2003 Panopticon Convention souvenir handbook, under the 40 Fabulous Facts section: "Doctor Who has been shown in 66 countries around the world, from Abu Dhabi and Algeria, to Poland, Qatar, Taiwan and Zimbabwe". (The reference to 66 countries is out slightly – at best count, Polish was nearer the 70th mark...)
The Polish version of WikiPedia: (POLISH DOCTOR WHO) says:
W Polsce widzowie mogli po raz pierwszy zobaczyć Doktora Who w październiku 1979 r., kiedy TVP1 pokazała dwa niekanoniczne filmy kinowe o jego przygodach (Dr Who wśród Daleków oraz Inwazja Daleków). Na początku lat 90. XX w. jedna z prywatnych stacji telewizyjnych wyemitowała kilkanaście odcinków z Tomem Bakerem w roli czwartej inkarnacji Doktora. W 1997 r. TVP1 pokazała film telewizyny BBC Doctor Who z 1996 r.
This translates as:
In Poland, viewers could see Doctor Who in October 1979, when TVP1 showed two non-canonical motion picture adventures ("Dr Who" and "The Invasion of the Daleks"). In the early 1990s, one of the private television stations aired a few episodes with Tom Baker as the fourth incarnation of the Doctor. In 1997, TVP1 showed the 1996 BBC TV Movie "Doctor Who".
It is not known what "private station" this is, as no private TV stations are recorded in the 1990 World Radio Television Handbook.
