EL DOCTOR MISTERIO

Doctor Misterio logo

To Latin American audiences, Doctor Who is known as El Dr/Doctor Misterio (Dr Mystery) (El is Spanish for "The", the definitive article.)

In certain Spanish newspapers, the programme was billed as Dr Who, El Dr Misterio or just Dr Misterio. (According to the 1983 Radio Times 20th Anniversary Special, some Latin American countries knew the series as Dr Insolito (Dr Strange), but we have found no evidence of the series having ever been called this in Spanish-language countries.)


WILLIAM HARTNELL

Twelve of the first seventeen William Hartnell stories, comprising 56 episodes, were dubbed into Spanish and sold to Latin American countries. Some of the Spanish titles assigned to the episodes differed from the English titles; those that varied significantly are noted:

Five stories were not dubbed into Spanish: Marco Polo, The Reign of Terror, The Romans, The Crusade, and The Time Meddler. One possibility as to why these historical were not dubbed - but that The Aztecs was – is that the programme purchasers (or maybe the BBC itself?) considered stories set in 13th century China, revolutionary France, Nero's Rome, Palestine during the Third Crusade and 1066 Northumbria would hold little interest or historical significance to Spanish viewers. The sole historical that was dubbed into Spanish, The Aztecs was, of course, set in Mexico, and therefore had some relevance to Latin Americans.

Interestingly, at the end of the final episode of The Web Planet, the Spanish narrator gives the title of the next episode as "EL LION", although The Crusade was not dubbed into Spanish.

These stores were sold to the following countries:


BBC Archive Holdings

In late 1976 when the Lively Arts documentary Whose Doctor Who was being researched, the BBC held at least the following prints with Spanish soundtracks:

K The Dalek Invasion of Earth 6
N The Web Planet 1-6
Q The Space Museum 4


By late 1978, only The Web Planet part 6 was still held.

A Spanish print of An Unearthly Child part 1 surfaced at the BBC in 1978, while Inside the Spaceship part 1, and Planet of Giants part 3 are known to exist in private hands.

Extracts on DVD / Video

  • The Spanish soundtrack for The Web Planet part 6 appears as an alternative language option on the DVD release of that story. Interesting, in the original English, the voice of the Animus is female, but in the Spanish dub, it is male.


TOM BAKER

Doctor Misterio

Within a year of Doctor Who taking off in the United States in 1978, the existing Time Life videos of the first 23 Tom Baker stories (98 episodes, complete with Howard da Silva narrations), were dubbed into Spanish for the Latin American market, covering Central and South America.


The first two countries to air these stories were Mexico and Chile; interestingly, each country sometimes assigned different titles to the stories:

Title Mexico Chile
Robot El Robot / Los Hombres de Metal Muerte de un Robot
The Ark in Space El Arca del Espacio El Arca Espacial
The Sontaran Experiment El Experimento del Sontaran
Genesis of the Daleks El Genesis de los Dalekios
Revenge of the Cybermen La Venganza del Hombre Cibernetico La Venganza de los Hombres Metalicos
Terror of the Zygons El Terror de los Sigons
Planet of Evil El Planeta del Mal
Pyramids of Mars Las Piramides de Marte
The Android Invasion La Invasion de los Androides
The Brain of Morbius El Cerebro de Morbius / El Cerebro del Doctor Morbius
The Seeds of Doom Las Semillas del Mal (The Seeds of Evil) / Las Semillas de la Ruina (The Seeds of Ruin/Decline) / Semillas de Maldad (Seeds of Evil)
The Masque of Mandragora La Mascara de Mandragora
The Hand of Fear La Mano del Miedo
The Deadly Assassin El Gran Reto del Amo (The Great Challenge of the Master)
The Face of Evil La Cara del Demonio (The Face of the Demon/Devil) La Cara del Mal (The Face of Evil)
The Robots of Death El Robot de la Muerte
The Talons of Weng-Chiang Las Garras de Weng-Chiang
Horror of Fang Rock Horror en Fang Rock
The Invisible Enemy El Enimigo Invisible
Image of the Fendahl La Imagen de los Fendalines
The Sun Makers Los Forjadores del Sol Los Summakers
Underworld El Mundo Subterraneo Bajo Mundo
The Invasion of Time La Invasion del Tiempo


NOTE: The Chilean title "Los Summakers" could be a printing error, with the English title getting scrambled in the translation (one Chilean paper, El Sur, sometimes did print the English title). However, this 'error' appears in two different newspapers, so it's likely that both papers were supplied with the 'wrong' spelling of the title direct from the broadcaster itself.

Of particular note, some of the listings used in Mexican newspapers, such as El Dia and El Mercurio, were illustrated with composite images that appear to have in part cut from Chris Achilleos's artwork from the covers of The Doctor Who Monster Book (Target Books, 1976) and The Second Doctor Who Monster Book (Target Books, 1977).

Airdates for the following countries are recorded in BroaDWcast:

The following countries are recorded in BBC Records as having bought these Baker serials, however we have not been able to acquire airdates:


A number of Baker serials also aired in north Spain in the late 1980s, but this time they were dubbed into the regional language Galician.
