Television Stations / Channels

Guatemala began its television service in 1956.

In 1979, the country had four different broadcasting services. It is not known on which of these Dr Misterio aired.


DOCTOR WHO (EL DOCTOR MISTERIO) IN GUATEMALA

BBC Records

In DWM, Guatemala is identified in 20 story Archives, all Tom Baker stories from his first four seasons 4A to 4Z, with the exception of three - 4C, 4L, 4S - which is probably an oversight rather than an indication that these three didn't air (the same three Archives also omit Brazil). The year of sale is given as 1979.

The Eighties - THE LOST CHAPTERS records a sale of "(24)" stories (by 10 February 1987).

This may be an error, as only 23 Tom Baker stories are thought to have aired. If there indeed were 24, it is not known what the other story was. (See also Honduras and Nicaragua, which also have a sale of 24 stories recorded).


Stories bought and broadcast

TOM BAKER

Presumably: 23 stories, 98 episodes:



Guatemala therefore bought the standard package of Tom Baker stories in Spanish that were distributed by Time Life.

  • For the Spanish story titles, go to: SPANISH


Origin / Fate of the Tapes?

Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua all screened Tom Baker stories in Spanish around the same time.


Transmission

TOM BAKER

No details, other than the year of sale being 1979.

Despite all the political turmoil that the country and isthmus were experiencing in the late 1970s/early 1980s, several British shows, such as Los Muppets and Los Pallisers were screening on Guatemalan television at the time, so it's unlikely that Doctor Who was lost in the confusion...


TV listings

No airdates have been found; newspapers have been checked for late 1978 to late 1980. It is possible that Dr Misterio aired much later than the recorded date of 1979, and therefore we have looked in the wrong range of dates!
