A television service didn't reach '''[[wikipedia:Belize|BELIZE]]''' (aka British Honduras) until 1981.

Although '''Doctor Who''' was not shown on the local terrestrial TV station, viewers may have been able to tune into transmissions from [[Mexico]] and [[Guatemala]] during the early 1980s (or in the late 1970s if they possessed a TV prior to 1981).


It's possible that satellite stations such as [[HBO OLE]] were also available in the 1990s.

 As an aside, during the visit to the [[wikipedia:Altun Ha|Altun Ha]] pyramid in Belize as part of the "Sci-Fi Sea Cruise" in December 2003, Terrance Dicks was recognised by one of the guides and asked to sign autographs; presumably the guide had seen the series via one of these providers!
