The Doctor landed in Italy the first time in the february-march 1980. He arrived illegally (I always say he’s one of the first illegal aliens to arrive in my country…), ’cause italian RAI TV, our state television, decided to buy the show not directly from the BBC, but from some french television. This is the reason why the first italian Doctor Who fans like me do not say “Tàrdis”, with an english accent, but “Tardìs”, imitating the french accent our actors heard and dubbed in. The french version, though, was changed before it reached italy. An electronic soundtrack was added (and sometimes badly mixed) to the original score. Even so, I liked it very much, and I wasn’t the only one. A famous performer, now sadly no longer with us, said in a commentary that she found the Doctor Who french version on a DVD published in Canada, and she liked it too. Now, since the half of your company is canadian, do you know anything about it?
Thank you, and take care

I’m not aware of any French-language Doctor Who DVDs being released in Canada. They usually distribute the American discs in Canada (for classic Doctor Who). There could be French Doctor Who DVDs available in Quebec or specialty stores.
Ah, that would be hard to find on the net. Thank you anyway
