  • 9-10 March 1985: A marathon of the new Pertwee stories airs on WHA, Wisconsin.
  • May 1985: 146 stations in the US have purchased the series, exposing 70% of the population the United States to the series.



WILLIAM HARTNELL

Seventeen stories, 76 episodes (also in "movie length" omnibus editions):

A An Unearthly Child 4
B The Daleks 7
C Inside the Spaceship 2
E The Keys of Marinus 6
F The Aztecs 4
G The Sensorites 6
J Planet of Giants 3
K The Dalek Invasion of Earth 6
L The Rescue 2
M The Romans 4
N The Web Planet 6
Q The Space Museum 4
R The Chase 6
S The Time Meddler 4
X The Ark 4
Z The Gunfighters 4
BB The War Machines 4

- The stories are edited into compilations, with the story to story cliffhangers often removed, and new title cards and closing credits created, sometimes displaying a 1984 or 1985 copyright date.

- It has been reported that the Hartnell to Troughton regeneration sequence was edited onto the end of The War Machines. (It's possible this wasn't actually done until subsequent repeats in the 1990s…)



  • 26 October 1985: New Jersey is also the first to screen the Colin Baker stories. These air on NJN mixed in with the new run of Hartnells and Troughtons. Other stations screen the stories from November, but most stations across the country don't air them until the new year:


COLIN BAKER

Seven stories, equivalent of 30 half hour episodes (also in "movie length" omnibus editions):

6S The Twin Dilemma 4
6T Attack of the Cybermen 2/4
6V Vengeance on Varos 2/4
6X The Mark of the Rani 2/4
6W The Two Doctors 3/6
6Y Timelash 2/4
6Z Revelation of the Daleks 2/4
  • Some stations that purchase the Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Colin Baker as a package deal, prefer to schedule the newer Baker stories first, followed by the other three Doctors in order.
