-The '''10 January 1997''' issue of the ''Kyunghyang Shinmun'' newspaper had an article about action movies, which included a photograph of Paul McGann (with the caption '''"닥터후"''', which is the correct translation of '''Doctor Who''') and a brief synopsis for the [[TV Movie]], however it did not state that it had screened or was to screen on Korean TV, or was out or coming out on VHS; indeed, there was nothing in the TV listings of that particular issue that appeared to be for the movie.

-If the [[TV Movie]] didn't screen or get released on tape, it wasn't until the arrival of the [[NEW SERIES|New Series]] on KBS2 in '''June 2005''' that '''Doctor Who''' was seen again in Korea…
+The cover design of the tape was very different to the usual styling, with Eric Roberts being given prominence in the main photograph and having his name in red text above the title. (McGann appears in a smaller photo, while the usual cover image of the Doctor holding the candle has been relocated to the back cover!)

-Although these four stories were still playing in syndication on various stations around the [[United States]] during 1978, Korea was the last foreign country to screen [[The Mind of Evil]], [[Colony in Space]] and [[The Daemons]] as one-offs. The tapes were likely returned to Time Life or the BBC, or wiped for reuse.

 The original undubbed tapes of [[Terror of the Autons]] were possibly sent to [[Japan]], where the serial screened six months later, in June 1978.

 In the '''February, March and April 1984''' issues (numbered '''17,18,19''') there was a strip based on '''Doctor Who''', written and drawn by the highly-regarded Korean artist, Kim Hyung Bae ([https://namu.wiki/w/%EA%B9%80%ED%98%95%EB%B0%B0 김형배]). It featured a [[Wikipedia:Manhwa|Manhwa]] version of the fourth Doctor who travels with a girl called Joy in the TARDIS - which has fins and flies like a rocket!
-The first two instalments of this unlicensed work was called '''"도망자들"''' '''("Fugitives")''' (on pages 11-55 of the February and March issues), and sees the Doctor and Joy captured by birdlike aliens who have also time-scooped a Nazi tank and a British pirate ship. The three temporally-displaced groups are forced to battle each other in outer space, with the ultimate winner being allowed to go free.
