DOCTOR WHO IN TURKEY
BBC Records
Turkey is not named in any of our main BBC Records sources.
The only reference to Turkey possibly screening Doctor Who was in DWM issue #52 (May 1981), in which a reader states: "Turkey has had the Doctor Who series for many years now but apparently the show goes out over there under the banner of "comedy"".
Given the 1981 publication date, and that colour broadcasts did not commence until 1984, any episodes of Doctor Who would have been in black and white, which probably rules out these being Tom Baker stories. (However, since early Tom Baker stories did air as black and white in Zimbabwe in 1980/81, it is not entirely impossible for Turkey to have aired Bakers rather than, say, Pertwees...)
Some indistinct BBC records indicate that sales of some early Pertwees stories were "Cancelled" in 1978.
Novelisations
Remzi Kitabevi of Istanbul published seven of the early Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee Target novelisations in 1975; these were released under the name "DOKTOR KIM":
- Doktor Kim ve Dalekler (The Daleks) (The Daleks)
- Doktor Kim ve Sibermenler (The Cybermen) (The Moonbase)
- Doktor Kim ve Korkunç Karadamlari (The Scary Snow Priests) (The Abominable Snowmen)
- Doktor Kim ve Otonlar (The Autons) (Spearhead from Space)
- Doktor Kim ve Gizli Silah (The Secret Weapon) (Colony in Space)
- Doktor Kim ve Dalek Baskini (The Dalek Attacks) (Day of the Daleks)
- Doktor Kim ve Peladon Gezegeni (The Planet Peladon) (The Curse of Peladon)
- Taking Doktor Kim ve Dalek Baskini as an example, the novels are direct adaptations of the original Target editions, with the following points of interest:
- Turkish equivalent of "EXTERMINATE!" is "ONLARI YOK EDIN!"
- The head of UNIT gets a promotion to: General Alasteyr Lethbric-Stüvirt
- The Doktor is a Zaman Lordlari
- The Daleks have servants called Ogronlar

TV listings
The English-language newspaper, Turkish Daily News, has TV listings for TRT; the majority of programmes are local or American.
Issues covering 1977 to June 1981 have been checked, but there were no listings for Doctor Who. In the 6.30 to 7.00pm timeslot there is a generic "Program for children", so it is possible that the series did air, but without being identified by its own billings. (Although if the series was treated as a "comedy", would it be in an early evening children's timeslot?)
Turkey in Doctor Who
- The Trojan War was in Asia Minor, which is now Turkey (The Myth Makers).
- The Doctor mentions Troy in The Stones of Blood.
