DOCTOR WHO (DOCTEUR WHO) IN FRANCE

French Movie poster
  • The two Peter Cushing Dalek films played in French cinemas during the 1960s: "DR WHO CONTRE LES DALEKS" and "LES DALEKS ENVAHISSENT LA TERRE".

The BBC made several attempts over the years to sell Doctor Who to France:

  • February 1977: At the annual Brighton BBC Showcase, the BBC was unsuccessful in luring European buyers to pick up the series. "TOO TERRIFYING FOR EUROPE" was the press reaction (see for clipping.)
  • September 1979: In a letter to French writer, Jean-Marc Lofficier, producer Graham Williams informs him that France is to be offered the series again "later this year".
  • 1979-1981: Lofficier pens The Doctor Who Programme Guide, a side-project he developed while researching for an article about the series for a French genre magazine.
  • 1986: Alain Carrazé tries to bring Doctor Who to French television. A full account of Carrazé's struggle was published in issue 17 of Timescreen magazine (cover dated Spring 1991). The full article can be read TIMESCREEN 17.
  • May 1986: A French film crew for "Temps X" visits the BBC studios to film segments for a 16 minute documentary about the series, and interviews the cast and crew during the filming of serial 7B of The Trial of a Time Lord (aka "Mindwarp"). (The DWAS newsletter Celestial Toyroom (July 1986) carries a full report of the shoot, complete with break down of elements used in the final production.)

French novelisations backs
  • 1987: Eight novelisations are published by Editions Garanciere, translated into French. The covers are adorned with images of "Temps X" hosts Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff.


  • 19 February 1989': After a delay of two years, Doctor Who finally makes it to the screen - but even then, its journey is far from plain-sailing...


BBC Records

In DWM issue 52 (May 1981), there is a report that an omnibus edition of "La Genèse des Daleks" Genesis of the Daleks screened in France, but there is no evidence that such a broadcast ever took place.

In DWM, France is identified in 8 story Archives: 4A, 4D, 4E, 4F, 4H, 4G, 4J, 4K.


Stories bought and broadcast

TOM BAKER

11 stories, 46 episodes bought, but only six (26 episodes) screened:

4A Robot Robot 4
4C The Ark in Space L'Arche de l'Espace 4
4E Genesis of the Daleks La Genèse des Daleks 6
4D Revenge of the Cybermen La Revanche des Cybernators 4
4F Terror of the Zygons La Terreur des Zygons 4
4H Planet of Evil La Planète Diabolique 4


France therefore bought part of GROUPs A and B of the Tom Baker stories.

The programme was supplied as PAL colour video tapes. TF1 prepared, recorded and dubbed full French soundtracks. Composer Dudley Simpson provided new music cues, including for the serials for which he did not originally provide a score.

For the opening titles, as the words DOCTOR WHO appear, the voice over announces "Docteur Wooooo" which fades as the logo moves away.
