DOCTOR WHO IN YUGOSLAVIA
Yugoslavia was the 63rd country to screen Doctor Who; the ninth in Europe (see Selling Doctor Who).
BBC Records
The Eighties - The Lost Chapters records a sale of 3 stories (by 10 February 1987).
The country is not named in any of the DWM story Archives.
Stories bought and broadcast
Since Yugoslavia was PAL broadcaster, the stories that aired could be any of the surviving full PAL Jon Pertwee stories, or Tom Baker stories. It's unlikely to be any of the later Doctors...
Given the proliferation of the Tom Baker stories being sold during the 1980s, it is more than likely to have been his stories that aired.
The programme was supplied (presumably) on PAL colour video tapes complete with the original English soundtrack.
Transmission
No details known.
TV listings
None located.
Yugoslavia in Doctor Who
- The Doctor's companion Tegan Jovanka was named after Tito's wife Jovanka.
- It was because of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia that the BBC was forced to re-edit Resurrection of the Daleks and screen it as two-45 minute episodes.
- The abandoned Coast to Coast Doctor Who movie was at one time due to be filmed in Yugoslavia.
