Adelaide Symphony Orchestra mem- bers Judy Polain, Marie-Louise Slaytor and Shirni Lim played violins while Martin Butler rocked the viola. Sand sculptor Jino van Bruinessen created a TARDIS and they played the Doctor Who theme. The sculpture was sheltered from inclement rain by a canopy, and had fortunately appeared above the tide line.

Fifty years of Doctor Who on ABC! q from Page 1 The single BBC channel premiered An Unearthly Child at 17.16 on 23 November 1963. The then Australian Broadcasting Commission bought Doctor Who in 1964, but censorship problems caused it to be held over to time slots after 19.30 in 1965. ABC was beaten to transmission by the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation AKTV-2 (Aukland) on 18 September 1964. On 12 January 1965, ABW-2 screened An Unearthly Child in Perth. The show was next seen on ABN-2 (Sydney, also ABC-3 Canberra) on 15 January, ABQ-2 (Brisbane) on 22 January and ABV-2 (Melbourne) on 20 February. Adelaide’s ABS-2 had to wait until 15 March and Hobart (ABT-2) didn’t get the series until 18 June. Darwin got television in 1971 and ABD-6 began Fury from the Deep on 15 August. ABC has run Who every year since with the exceptions of 1976 (Adelaide only), 1981 and 1995 to 2003, excluding the Hubble Space Telescope image of Andromeda telemovie and its repeat in 1996/7.

Do It Yourself: Women, Fanzines, and Doctor Who Leslie McMurtry According to Paul Cornell in 1997, the general public would find ‘the idea of magazines produced on an amateur basis extremely improbable’. Nonetheless, not only do Doctor Who fanzines exist, they exist in great numbers. Wading into fanzine history is a thorny thicket, and geographical as well as chronological distance makes a broad overview of the subject virtually impossible. What might have been true for Doctor Who fanzines in the United States in the mid-1980s—where many women edited, illustrated, and wrote—was quite atypical for the fanzine writers and editors in Britain in the 1990s—where often female fans were treated as a rare and alien species. And different again for the scene of specialized fanzines in Australia and New Zealand where women’s voices were plentiful. And different again in the post-Internet fandom of today.

  • “Too Broad and Deep for the Small Screen”: Doctor Who's New Adventures in the 1990S
    “Too Broad and Deep for the Small Screen”: Doctor Who's New Adventures in the 1990s journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/article/view/1474 Julian Novitz Abstract Introduction: Doctor Who's “Wilderness Years” 1989 saw the cancellation of the BBC's long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who (1965 -). The 1990s were largely bereft of original Doctor Who television content, leading fans to characterise that decade as the “wilderness years” for the franchise (McNaughton 194). From another perspective, though, the 1990s was an unprecedented time of production for Doctor Who media. From 1991 to 1997, Virgin Publishing was licensed by the BBC's merchandising division to publish a series of original Doctor Who novels, which they produced and marketed as a continuation of the television series (Gulyas 46). This series of novels, Doctor Who: The New Adventures (commonly referred to as “the Virgin New Adventures” by fans) proved popular enough to support a monthly release schedule, and from 1994 onwards, a secondary "Missing Adventures" series. Despite their central role in the 1990s, however, many fans have argued that the Doctor Who novels format makes them either less "canonical" than the television series, or completely "apocryphal" (Gulyas 48). This fits with a general trend in transmedia properties, where print-based expansions or spin-offs are generally considered less official or authentic than those that are screen-based (Hills 223). This article argues that the openness of the series to contributions from fan writers – and also some of the techniques and approaches prioritised in fan fiction - resulted in the Virgin range of Doctor Who novels having an unusually significant impact on the development and evolution of the franchise as a whole when compared to the print-based transmedia extensions of other popular series’.

Inmaculada Gordillo Álvarez Firma con el visto bueno del tutor | Agradecimientos | La elaboración de este estudio no habría sido posible sin el apoyo de aquellos que me han ayudado a sacarlo adelante, bien con consejos o correcciones, bien con paciencia; pero sobre todo, con la ayuda desinteresada y la confianza que en más de una ocasión ha sido necesaria. Estoy en deuda con Juanma Asencio, mi “portavoz” en la Universidad de Sevilla mientras estaba de intercambio SICUE en la Pompeu Fabra, y quien ha hecho posible la entrega de este documento, entre otros quebraderos de cabeza que le habré causado. Gracias también a Rafa Cabeza, siempre dispuesto a escuchar mis problemas y a darles una solución optimista. Que el triángulo Draper-Olson-Holloway sea infinito donde la serie no pudo serlo. También en deuda con Sofia Izquierdo, cuyo inmenso conocimiento sobre Doctor Who ha sido clave para este trabajo. Agradecerle además sus lecturas desinteresadas y su apoyo en todo momento. Gracias a Raquel Crisóstomo por confiar en mi trabajo incondicionalmente, así como por las charlas tan enriquecedoras en las que las dudas no lo eran tanto; a Cristina Aguilera por estar ahí siempre, apostando por un trabajo que uno mismo olvida valorar; a Manu Montes por ser el apoyo moral que todo SICUE necesita, ese hombro virtual en el que apoyarse (o físico, después de muchas horas de Valencia en Fallas); a Carlos Scolari, por sus pequeñas masterclass ante cualquier duda; y a Alba Rosillo, por sus consejos y ayuda con el diseño gráfico de la presentación.

The Doctor has to organize a buffet, Roz has a mystery to solve, and Chris has a girlfriend who used to be the Timewyrm.
