... Troughton episodes of Doctor Who were broadcast in Canada as part of the CBC's children's program "Magic Shadows." Can you confirm whether this is an avenue of research which has already been addressed? I am not entirely sure, but I think "Magic Shadows" with Elwy Yost was on TV Ontario... so it propably was rather the 1970s than the 60s. TVO was always very good for Dr Who. (Most colour NTSC Pertwees come from there). But who knows there might be something in their "Magic Shadows" archive that has been overlooked. That was the original post: missingepisodes.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1073408240

Apparently, `Magic Shadows` (1974-87) only ever aired the `Doctor Who and the Daleks` film; Judith Merrill (who had the `Spaced Out Library`) hosted `Doctor Who`.

Perhaps "Ricardo01" just got the series title wrong. In the 1960s Elwy Yost did host a CBC children series, "Passport to Adventure" but I think it just showed feature films. Anyone seen it?

he also did "Saturday night at the movies" and "Talking Film" on the history of motion pictures so he seems to have had experience of film also wasn't magic shadows the name of a book about film in the early days

Dear Nick, I've tried to reach you by email recently with this question but to no avail: I received an email recently from somebody who saw it mentioned on this forum that Troughton episodes of Doctor Who were broadcast in Canada as part of the CBC's children's program "Magic Shadows." Can you confirm whether this is an avenue of research which has already been addressed? Thanks. I'd love to hear from you by email as well, if you have the chance... All the best, Mark Parmerter Doctor Who Gateway to missing episodes, www.geocities.com/markles2000/index.htmle-mail should work .... nfitz@sentex.ca unless it looks too much like spam, and my spam software may trash it! As someone else mentioned, the only Magic Shadows I am aware of, is the TVO series ... which I think went out daily at 7:30 pm weekdays. It had lots of old movies, chopped into 30 minute segments. TVO didn't go on the air until 1970, which would post-date most of the rumours I have heard (reference at www.broadcasting-history.ca/CCF_Listings_and_Histories/Television/Gta_Ontario_TV/CICATV_Toronto_History.html)The original 26 episodes CBC aired in 1965, were marked in the TV Listings, as Doctor Who, quite clearly, at least in the Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver papers I have seen. It went out in the same time-slot (except for the 3-hour time zone difference between Montreal/Toronto and Vancouver) in each city, and presumably on all CBC-owned stations back then (though not on non-CBC owned affiliates such as CKVR Barrie, CFPL London, etc.). I'd be interested in further information on this Troughton sighting ... time period, location, time-slot, if there is recollection. I have a list of them somewhere (I hope ...) Sorry for the delay in responding. My work life is rather intensive at the moment. Nick

....it was "Passport to Adventure" with Elwy...I was positive that I remember him introducing a Dr. Who episode around that time but my memory maybe inaccurate...maybe it was the 26 episodes that aired in 1965...I rarely saw Dr. Who, as a kid; local CBC affiliate didn't run it so it was a treat to see an episode...just like I was positive that CITY or CFMT ran "Til Death Do Us Part" in the early 70's but haven't been able to find a reference...

I'm not familiar with "Passport to Adventure", but if it was full network CBC, then I doubt it would have had Doctor Who. There is a lot of information on the inital CBC airings, and nothing solid since. What city and time-frame are we talking about? Hmm, CITY or CFMT .... what about CKVR (CBC affiliate in Barrie, which is available on Cable in Toronto)? They certainly would run British television in the late 1960's, early 1970's. Z Cars, Stryker of the Yard ... and the first season of Space 1999, 2 years before the CBC network stations aired it. Come to think of it, could have WNED (PBS Buffalo) ran Til Death Do Us Part? I think they were running British comedies that far back ... Nick

do you have an address for that station? Which station? WNED, can't imagine there is anything left there to find ... (certainly not the now missing colour Pertwees they aired). CKVR has been owned by CHUM for 35 years, and the deaffiliated with CBC in 1995, becoming "The New VR", which CHUM has now turned into a weblet with the Ottawa, London, Windsor, Wingham, and Victoria BC stations. There is a good history here. They probably have tapes of tonight's Who Wants to be a Millionaire still in their archive. :-) Seriously though, I haven't got a clue what they might have up there ... and I don't recall anyone ever asking before.

...I would have my doubts about CKVR having anything...remember that they did a retrospective when they became the New VR in 1995 and there was no black and white footage at all...just a few photos...CFPL , now the NEW PL, has or had a pretty good news archive which is often used in Canadian documentaries...as for programming, who knows?...

Though someone should check them for the record one day ... and CFPL, and the Wingham, Windsor and CHRO Ottawa too ... lord knows what might be in the basement. Just don't mention Doctor Who ... none of them ever broadcast them ... but they all likely broadcast some now-missing British material in the 1960's. Especially CKVR. Nick
