While watching New Jersey network on Saturday they announced
that they had bought (at least) the first few Jon Pertwee
episodes. They showed an excerpt where the Doctor and
Lethbridge-Stewart are trying to get used to his new face
(I guess it was quite a change from Patrick Troughton). The
episode was in black-and-white - do not adjust your sets.
They also claimed to be the only people in the States to
have bought these episodes - so the rest of you can start
writing to your local PBS stations knowing that they are
available.
If I remember correctly the screening date was Feb 16.
Presumably it will be in their regular Saturday evening
(9:00 pm) slot, and will be shown uncut (ie 4 original
episodes spliced into 90 mins).
New Jersey Network broadcasts on channels 23, 52 and some
others, and should be readily available in NJ, Eastern Penn,
NY City and multiple cable networks. It was pledge week last
week - I think they should be supported for giving us
Whovians what we want. Now to start agitating for some
Hartnell episodes!

While I'm on the subject, am I showing my age (and
nationality) by announcing that I saw the first episode when
it was broadcast? It must be showing off to say that I saw
the Xmas panto episode (the one deliberately destroyed by
the BBC).

This is a re-posting. I have tracked one incarnation of the
line-eater to between two local systems. Apologies for
inconveniencing anybody.
