Revision as of 21:08, 6 June 2021

Doctor Who has not been shown on terrestrial television in HUNGARY, but signals from Yugoslavia could be received when it was seen there in 1986, and the German stations RTL-Plus and VOX were also available - listings for these stations were published in the Hungarian magazine Radio es Televizioijjsag (RTV).

Yugoslavian TV was available in Hungary (Doctor Who was on in 1986)
German station RTL-Plus was available in Hungary (generic listing from RTV in 1993)
German station Vox was available in Hungary (generic listing from RTV in 1995)



Doctor Who could also be seen (in English) on Super Channel in the late 1980s, and on BBC World Service Television in 1992, 1993 and 1994, and on BBC Prime from 1995.

The New Series was shown from 2006, with the title "Ki Vagy, Doki?" ("Who Are You, Doctor?").


Doctor Who was also available in other forms:


Peter Cushing and the Daleks

The two Dalek movies didn't play in cinemas (or at least no newspaper listings for them in the 1960s and 1970s could be found…) but they did play on television in the early 1990s.

Both were shown on HBO Europe, which was launched in Hungary on 28 September 1991 (later becoming HBO Central Europe when it was also launched in the Czech Republic).

Since Hungarian TV stations only screen dubbed programmes and movies, although the Hungarian Dubbing Wiki (see below) has no listings for either Cushing movie, there is a strong likelihood the two films had new soundtracks.

Dr Who and the Daleks, on HBO Europe, 29 March 1993
Both Daleks movies aired together on HBO Europe, 11 April 1993



The first film - with the basic title "Dr Who és a Dalekok" - was shown on HBO on Monday, 29 March 1993 at 5.30pm, and again five days later on Saturday, 3 April 1993 (6.30pm). The movie was repeated two more times, on Thursday, 13 April 1993 (at 5.30pm) and Friday 11 June 1993 (at 6pm).

The 11 June screening was followed by the sequel - under the title "Dalekok Támadása a Föld Ellen" (Daleks Attack Against the Earth) - at 7.25pm. The second film was shown again on 17 June 1993 at 6pm, then again the following week on 24 June at 12.05am.

Both films were shown again by HBO several times during 1994, such as "Dalekok Támadása…" on 19 February 1994, at 6.30pm. By this time, the channel was also available in the Czech Republic.


Merchandise

The Doctor Who "Flippereit" pinball game was available in Hungary

Some Hungarian newspapers in mid-1993 had print ads for "Flippereit", which are Pinball machines. Included in the list of game titles is the one for "Dr Who".


Books

In January 1993, Android published a translated edition of Marc Platt's seventh Doctor New Adventures novel Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible under the title Új Doctor Who Kalandok: Az Idö Fogságában, which translates as New Doctor Who Adventures: Captured by Time / Captured in Time.

The back cover says episodes were currently screening on satellite (presumably those on BBC World Service Television Europe), but more curiously, the spine of the book has the number 1 on it, and the back blurb says that further books would be published on a two-monthly basis "next year". It's likely this refers simply to the arrival of the "Missing Adventures" series of books, which first appeared in the UK from July 1994 -- but the "1" does suggest that Android intended to - but ultimately didn't - publish further titles.

(The cover artwork painted by Tim White was not a new piece, and had previously appeared on a 1978 printing of Frank Herbert's 1968 novel "The Santaroga Barrier"!)

The Santaroga Barrier
Shada and City of Death


Gabo published two of the new novelisations based on Douglas Adams scripts:

Hungarian VHS tape


Translated editions of various New Series and Torchwood books were also published by Gabo.


Video

The 1996 TV Movie was released on rental VHS by MCA/Universal/CIC Video and UIP / Dunafilm in 1997: the cover tagline reads MEGÉRI A VILÁG A XXI SZÁZADOT? (Will the World Survive into the 21st Century?).

The dubbed soundtrack was recorded at Videovox Studio Ltd; both Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann were voiced by Péter Haás Vander.
