==January 2015==
*'''15 December''': We've added some info on the [[United States--1965-1969|American]]/[[Japan|Japanese]] animated and live-action versions of "Dr Who"...
 
*'''12 December''': The first airings on [[KQED]] have been added.
 
  
*'''2 December''': Update to [[Saudi Arabia]]: we've identified at least one of the stations that aired the William Hartnell stories circa 1968. UPDATE! We've since updated the update to update something that needed updating.
 
 
 
==November 2014==
 
*'''23 November''': '''Happy 51st Anniversary!'''  We have updated the [[Bicycling Chains]] page, adding an introduction, which explains some of the "clues" that lead to our selections, as well as a hypothesis as to what happened to all those film prints in 1974...
 
 
 
==October 2014==
 
*'''4 October''': We've added coverage of the second Peter Cushing Dalek film to the [[Singapore]] profile.
 
 
 
==September 2014==
 
*'''28 September''': A further repeat run in 1981 of Tom Baker stories in [[Chile]] has been found.
 
*'''18 September''': '''Doctor Who''' was broadcast for the first time on a foreign TV station '''50 years ago''' today - on channel 3 in Christchurch, [[New Zealand]]...
 
*'''6 September''': Big update to [[Oregon Public Broadcasting|Oregon]].
 
*'''5 September''': Why does [[Iowa Public Television|Iowa]] like '''Doctor Who''' so much?  Lea A Donovan answers that question in the [http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/09/why-does-iowa-doctor-who-so-much New Statesman], with some help from '''BroaDWcast'''.
 
 
 
==August 2014==
 
*'''26 August''': Update to [[The Web of Fear]] page to analyse the "Copy B" notation on the Nigerian film print.
 
 
 
==June 2014==
 
 
*'''6 June''': Major update to [[Costa Rica]]. The [[Spanish]] package of William Hartnell episodes aired there from 1971 to 1972, making that country one of the last to air any Hartnell serials.
 
*'''5 June''': Who is [[Spanish|Alberto Gavira and Arturo Mercado Chacón]]? Yes, they are!
 
 
 
==May 2014==
 
*'''5 May''': A general revision of [[Brunei]] (did the Tom Baker tapes come from New Zealand?), and an adjustment to some of the listings for that country in the Tom Baker story profiles, where we had the year down as 1984 when it was 1983!
 
*'''4 May''': Update to [[Japan]] to incorporate some screen grabs from the 1993 screening of [[Genesis of the Daleks]]; the two principal voice artists have also been identified.
 
*'''4 May''': '''Ooops!'''. The wrong file was updated for [[France]] and the [[Airdates in France]] table. . Now fixed!
 
*'''3 May''': Update to [[France]] and the [[Airdates in France]] table to record some of the story titles that have been identified by date, and pictures of the actors who dubbed for the Doctors in the TV Movie! 
 
 
 
==April 2014==
 
*'''28 April''': We have discovered that [[WGBX]] in [[Boston]] was '''the first and only''' US station to air season 10 and 11 Jon Pertwee serials in 1977, some six years ahead of the rest of the country. This was (presumably) a one-off direct deal between [[WGBX]] and the BBC, rather than through the US distributor Time Life, and which was timed to take advantage of the same group of stories being offered to the  [[Canada|Canadian]] stations, [[CKVU]] and [[TV Ontario]]..
 
*'''22 April''': We are pleased to present an interview with [[Eddie Montague]], who in his capacity as an editor at the BBC, was responsible for creating the "Music and Effects" only tracks that were later utilised in the creation of the [[Spanish]] and [[Arabic]] dubs for the William Hartnell episodes. (Thanks to Paul Hayes.)
 
*'''21 April''': The [http://twidw.doctorwhonews.net/archive.php '''THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO''' archive] has moved to a new location. TWIDW was founded in 1998 by Benjamin F. Elliott and ran until 2011.
 
 
 
==March 2014==
 
*'''30 March''': We are now certain that '''Doctor Who''' didn't screen in [[Ghana]] until after '''March 1966'''. Profile and Airdates table updated accordingly.
 
[[File:DolphyHat2.jpg|150px]]
 
*'''8 March''': The [[Philippines]] TV listings had some strange photos that were clearly not from Doctor Who: has one of them been identified? 
 
*'''7 March''': We've updated the [[Armed Forces Network]] page, and added a new page for the [[Taiwan Prints]] that were found last year. This new page will likely get an overhaul once more information about the origin of those ten episodes is known. 
 
*'''2 March''': We've added some frame-grabs of the title captions from the [[France|French]] version of the [[TV Movie]].
 
 
 
==February 2014==
 
*'''28 February''': Big update to [[OETA]].
 
*'''10 February''': We've updated several sections on the [[Sierra Leone]] profile page to clarify the situation regarding Broadcasting House and which of the TV station buildings was damaged in 1999.
 
*'''3 February''': In early 1981, DWM claimed that Doctor Who was considered "a comedy" in [[Turkey]]. We now know why...
 
 
 
==January 2014==
 
 
*'''15 January''': Added a brief page for [[WSBE]].  Rhode Islanders, can you help? {{email}}
 
 
*'''8 January''': I wish to make it clear to our readers that the "Is This the List of Found Episodes?" that was sent (anonymously?) to and published by [http://doctorwhoworldwide.com/2013/11/18/missing-episodes-is-this-the-list-of-found-episodes/3/ Doctor Who Archive / Worldwide] in November last year is ''NOT'' the text designed to prank hackers / snoopers that was 'hidden' in the source code in July. Nor is it the "placeholder text" that was also 'hidden' elsewhere on the site circa March.
 
 
*That "List" is clearly a ''fake'' designed to look like it was extracted from the [[Bicycling Chains]] source code. But it lacks the correct templates, formatting and layout coding required for this MediaWiki to function. Without the correct coding, text like that would be rendered a jumbled nonsensical mess -- as displayed [[Faked Code|HERE]]. There are also two sentences that contain phrasing which does not comply with the house-style adopted for the site.
 
 
*The distinction between the "placeholder" text (held since March 2013) and the  "hacker / snooper prank" (added in July) has become muddied somewhat, and that is probably where much of the confusion lies.
 
*'''3 January''': Happy New Year! Tom Baker attended the Science Fiction Festival in Rotterdam in March 1976, which was covered by the press in the [[Netherlands#TOM_BAKER_2|Netherlands]].
