This page now records the most recent air dates of episodes of Doctor Who on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation since they began broadcasting the new series of Doctor Who on Saturday nights beginning on May 21 2005; the latest episode to screen in the UK, Voyage of the Damned, will probably be aired by the ABC immediately before Series Four. The ABC has now completed its run of the old series, which began on Monday 15 September 2003 and 530 episodes later, ended on Friday 3 February 2006. It was broadcast nationally four nights a week (Monday to Thursday) at just after 6 P.M., except at the very end of the run when the ABC began showing two episodes back to back each weekday. The ABC however did not show the incomplete stories, and owing to a legal cloud were prevented from screening eight complete stories.
Predicting the ABC’s schedule was slightly awkward for several reasons; apart from stories being arbitrarily omitted, several of the later stories have unusual durations. The 90-minute version of The Five Doctors was shown divided into four parts; Resurrection of the Daleks was skipped and beginning with the very next story, the ABC began showing 2 episodes back-to-back, Monday to Friday; but Season 22 was shown in 25 minute installments, even though the episodes thus divided were actually screened consecutively on the same night! Finally, the broadcast schedule was interrupted on several occasions:
| 25 December 2003 | : Christmas Day |
| 5–8 January 2004, 3–6 January 2005, 2–5 January 2006 | : Hopmann Cup tennis |
| 26 January 2004 | : Australia Day friendly soccer match |
| 26 May – 7 June 2004 | : French Open tennis |
On each occasion the episodes to have been shown were held over to the next available date, although this led to a long delay in finishing some storylines.
N.B.: The black and white episodes which were screened were generally unrestored film prints rather than the re-mastered (or VidFIREd) copies prepared by members of the BBC’s Doctor Who Restoration Team. Links between stories have usually been edited to omit the Next Episode caption (when this refers to the first episode of the next story), and some scenes have been removed wholesale (for example, an early scene in The Steel Sky which serves to introduce Dodo Chaplet). Occasionally these removals have required the end credits of episodes to be deleted also, and replaced with a substitute list of credits (for example, the final scene and end credits of A Desperate Venture, which leads into A Land of Fear (Part One of The Reign of Terror). The reconstructed end credits of The O.K. Corral (Part Four of The Gunfighters) was particularly faulty: the list of characters corresponded to those appearing in Part One, and the copyright date shown was probably the year that the substitute credits were made, not the actual production date of the serial!
Similarly, the ABC screened the unrestored black and white versions of Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Ambassadors of Death, and Terror of the Autons, however they did show the re-colourised version of The Dæmons. Episode 1 of Ambassadors was shown in black and white despite the original colour videotape still existing. Occasionally multiple edits of the same episode exist; for example, the version of Episode Three of Invasion of the Dinosaurs screened by the ABC was the first edit (referred to as a 71-edit), rather than the BBC's final broadcast version.

| Interestingly, a caption at the end of episode 5 reads: Next Week "The Invasion"; although a fortnight’s break intervened in actual fact. Many of the earlier black and white episodes have had the “Next episode” captions removed in order that the individual stories may stand alone, so it is curious to find this caption intact. More importantly, whole scenes linking the overall narrative together from story to story have often been deleted without apparent comment. | |||||||

| Although The War Games is complete, one small clip in Episode Ten featuring a Dalek was enough for the ABC to remove it from the schedule, rather than risk legal action from the Nation Estate. The issue does not appear to have been fully resolved, and it is unlikely the ABC will restore this and other stories to the schedule - even after the current run is "completed". | |||||||
