Television Stations / Channels
Turkey began its television service in 1968.
There is just one television station: Turkish Radio Television Corporation (TRT).
Colour transmissions commenced on 15 March 1984, using the PAL colour broadcast system.
DOCTOR WHO IN TURKEY
BBC Records
Turkey is not named in any of our main BBC Records sources.
The only reference to Turkey possibly screening Doctor Who was in DWM issue #52 (May 1981), in which a reader states: "Turkey has had the Doctor Who series for many years now but apparently the show goes out over there under the banner of "comedy"".
Given the 1981 publication date, and that colour broadcasts did not commence until 1984, any episodes of Doctor Who would have been in black and white, which probably rules out these being Tom Baker stories. (However, since early Tom Baker stories did air as black and white in Zimbabwe in 1980/81, it is not entirely impossible for Turkey to have aired Bakers rather than, say, Pertwees...)
Novelisations
Remzi Kitabevi of Istanbul published seven of the early Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee Target novelisations in 1975; these were released under the name "DOKTOR KIM":
- Doktor Kim ve Dalekler (The Daleks) (The Daleks)
- Doktor Kim ve Sibermenler (The Cybermen) (The Moonbase)
- Doktor Kim ve Korkunc Karadamlari (The Scary 'Karadamlari') (The Abominable Snowmen)
- Doktor Kim ve Otonlar (The Autons) (Spearhead from Space)
- Doktor Kim ve Gizli Silah (The Secret Weapon) (Colony in Space)
- Doktor Kim ve Dalek Baskini (The Daleks Dominate) (Day of the Daleks)
- Doktor Kim ve Peladon Gezegeni (The Planet Peladon) (The Curse of Peladon)
Stories bought and broadcast
Transmission
JON PERTWEE?
TOM BAKER?
No details are known – other than if the series did air, it was probably prior to March 1980.
TV listings
The English-language newspaper, Turkish Daily News, has TV listings for TRT; the majority of programmes are local or American.
Issues covering 1977 to June 1981 have been checked, but there were no listings for Doctor Who. Some listings for the 6.30 to 7.00pm timeslot merely state "Program for children", so it is possible that the series aired without being identified by its own billings.
Turkey in Doctor Who
- The Trojan War was in Asia Minor, which is now Turkey (The Myth Makers).
- The Doctor mentions Troy in The Stones of Blood.
