DOCTOR WHO IN GERMANY
Germany was the 67th country to screen Doctor Who; it was the 12th in Europe (see Selling Doctor Who).
BBC Records
In DWM, Germany is identified in 21 story Archives: 4A, 6J, 6S, 6T, 6V, 6X, 6Y, 6Z, 7C, and all 12 Sylvester McCoy stories, 7D through to 7P.
The listings for 4A and 6J are probably error; and may instead have been supposed to be 7A and 6K. Also missing are 6W and 7B.
DWM also reported - in issues XX and XX - that Germany was the 66th country to purchase the series. By our count - see above - this is fairly accurate.
