Ident for BBC Scotland repeat screening of Planet of the Daleks on BBC2 in 1993

SCOTLAND is part of the United Kingdom. As such, it received BBC transmissions from London.

However, from time to time the network's regional station BBC Scotland altered its TV schedules to make way for local and alternative programming, and series such as Doctor Who were sometimes shown on dates or times that were different to the rest of the network:

• Castrovalva 1 = was shown in an earlier timeslot
• Planet of the Daleks 1993 repeat = was shown on BBC2 rather than BBC1
• BBC Choice 1998 repeats = aired additional stories
