This Week in Doctor Who provided a run-down of the screenings in its weekly bulletins, although not all of these have subsequently been tabulated into a full list of airdates. Only a handful of archived Starz pages that had Doctor Who on them could be found on WayBack Machine: Torchwood: Miracle Day debuted on the channel on 8 July 2011 (it was shown in the UK on 14 July) the tenth and final episode of the mini-series aired on Starz on 9 September 2011 ( 15 September in the UK). ![]() In 2011 it co-financed the fourth season of the popular Doctor Who spin-off.

The following dates, timeslots (Eastern Pacific PDT/PST) and channels have been collated from the This Week in Doctor Who weekly bulletins: The Movie screened several times per month, bouncing between channels (screening on Encore Mystery one week, then on both Mystery and MOVIEplex the following week it also appeared on WAM! for a brief period, plus a couple of showings on the Westerns channel). So, it's possible this is because the supplied Spanish dub didn't use Latin American Spanish - or it's because the movie was only subtitled. The film was NOT also shown on Starz's Spanish-language movie channel Encore Español, which was launched in August 2011. But of note, there are some marked differences between European Spanish and the Latin American Spanish that is spoken in the US. Since a European Spanish dub did exist, it's possible this was what was supplied to Starz. This dub is however used on the VHS release. The site says it was recorded for "television", but we could find no evidence of the Movie subsequently being shown on TV anywhere in Spain. This SPANISH DUBBING site says a dub was recorded in Madrid in 1997 (actor Luis Bajo voiced for both Paul McGann and Sylvester McCoy!). But what's not clear is if this means subtitling or dubbing. (Since Encore didn't have a "Sci-Fi" or "Fantasy" stream, the Movie was instead assigned to its "Mystery" and "children's" channels, and - somewhat bizarrely! - also its "Westerns" channel.)Īccording to the listings (both online and print), the TV Movie was shown with Spanish as an alternative language option.
