Dr Who in Australia
Another question from my two children:

Yes!!! Only just!!!
It was on last night, and has just started with the new series that UK have just finished - we are dead chuffed.
Last night show was the Xmas last year show with the new Doctor, then I think they carry on every Saturday night.
So you will probably time it just right, but may have to wait a few months for the new new series if that makes sense.

I may have to start watching the Torchwood spin-off series in the mean-time...
Or perhaps I should do what the Why Don't You guys suggested, switch off my television set and go and do something less boring instead. After all, this is Melbourne!

Heres an idea that works for us. My mum tapes Dr Who and other stuff that the kids love and sends it over to us. The kids love getting parcels from nanny and it keeps my mum in touch with her grandkids to the extent that she still really feels involved in their lives.

The OH gets tapes of The Bill from her mum, despite being told it is on tv here. I suppose it makes her feel wanted.

Australia gets all the Who that you get in the UK; just a little bit later, that's all!
