The British sci-fi TV series, Doctor Who is back for its seventh season on BBC.  The season’s first episode, Doctor Who – Asylum of the Daleks, premiered on September 1st in the UK and ABC TV was quick to follow suit, airing the episode on their iView service just a day after the premier.  The move was said to be done to address the issue of piracy.

ABC1 Controller Brendan Dahill said, “For Doctor Who fans, it is a fantastic opportunity to see new episodes within hours of them premiering in the UK – each episode will be available on iview on Sundays.”

“ABC’s iview is the most watched catch-up service in Australia with 48% of online Australians aged 16+ having accessed iview,” said Dahill.

“The new iview app for iphones and iPod Touch, launched on June 26th, has seen a phenomenal 434,000 downloads recorded to date – with 210,000 downloads recorded in its first week.”

Doctor Who is an iconic TV show that made its way into people’s live in 1963.  It originally ran until 1989, and in 1996 they made a TV movie in the hopes of reviving the series, but failed.  It wasn’t until 2005 that they were successful in their attempt.  Since its relaunch, Doctor Who has received numerous awards including being named as the Guinness World Records’ longest-running sci-fi TV show in the world.
