'''Channel 3 (PBS)'''
 
 
 
*'''21 November 1981''': Premiered, Saturdays at 8pm. Stories would air out of sequence (usually the order in which the station received the tapes).
 
*After the first run of "out of order" Tom Bakers, the series was recycled but in the correct order, and was followed by [[Peter Davison stories]].
 
*'''7 November 1983''': From this point on, the series screened episodically on weekdays at 11pm, with an "omnibus" of the same story on Saturdays.
 
*'''23 November 1983''': [[The Five Doctors]] airs.
 
*'''March 1985''': The reissued package of 24 [[Jon Pertwee stories]] aired, followed by more Davisons, then the reissued [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton stories]], then back to Baker.
 
*Around this time, the Saturday omnibuses fell out of sync with the weekday episodes.
 
*The Saturday screenings were eventually dropped altogether. By that time the Bakers had been recycled at least three times, the Pertwees and Davisons twice, before the series was eventually dropped, circa 1990.
