I don’t think we’ll see it on a linear outlet. I’m surprised they bought the rights at all. RTE don’t believe the viewing public in Ireland has any interest in sci-fi, or if they do, it is being catered for adequately elsewhere.

Last time Doctor Who got a linear airing on Irish television was the first two revival series aired on TV3, long after they had already aired on the BBC. Before that you have to go back to a really haphazard run (episodes missed, entire stories skipped, even an episode of a different story being aired in the middle of another) of Jon Pertwee stories on TG4 in 1999.
