Stories bought and broadcast

PAUL McGANN

The 1996 TV Movie was available in Argentina via three different methods:


Video

"El Doctor Who" - TV Movie VHS

The TV Movie was available as (possibly a Rental Only?) VHS tape from MCA/Universal/CIC Video in late 1996.

The Spanish subtitled tape - with the cover title EL DOCTOR WHO - had the tagline "¡HA REGRESADO… Y YA CASI ES HORA!" (He is Back… And It's Almost Time!)


TV

There have been reports of the film being shown on TV (presumably on ATA) in early 1997, at least prior to June, but we have not been able to verify this. (It's possible this was actually the BAC screening - see below.)

But the Movie was shown (on video?) at the British Arts Centre (see above) on 8 October 1998; this was in English without Spanish subtitles.


Cable

The 1996 film was available again from February 1999 via the HBO OLE cable station.


TOM BAKER

Also shown on cable was a run of Tom Baker stories: these aired during 2002 on the Argentinian-based cable station Uniseries, which was also available in other South American countries - see that separate profile page for more details.


Argentina in Doctor Who

  • The Doctor attended the Capablanca vs Alekhine 1927 World Chess Championship. (This was held in Buenos Aires, from 16 September to 29 November) (The Androids of Tara)
