Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials

Sometimes the small digital channels have the same programme in a couple of different slots during the day or week. You may find that, say, they are showing Who on Mondays, Tuesdays and twice on Wednesdays, but that in each of those four slots the show is at a different point in its run. So you could watch Blink (the haunted house episode) on Monday at 7pm, then the next week tune in on Wednesday at 9pm and find that slot has just reached the point when it shows Blink. To follow the series through in the right order you may have to tune in at on the same day each week and at the same time, regardless of how many other days in the week they are screening the show.

The only way to make absolutely sure of how and when a channel is showing a series is to use an online TV guide like Digiguide or Radiotimes and run a search. Read through the results and try to identify any patterns. You should be able to spot whether the show is getting one repeat run in one or more slots, or multiple repeat runs simultaneously and possibly staggered.

Or, as Flyboy has pointed out, wait until BBC Three does another repeat run, they normally start at the beginning and show one a day. And get your DVD recorder ready.
