Behind the scenes

 * Doctor Who was filmed in Vancouver, B.C. in 1995-96, the first time a Doctor Who production had been mounted in North America. Canada remains the only North American country to host a complete production. However, Doctor Who has filmed in the United States since. Some second unit footage shot in New York City for Daleks in Manhattan, and the first unit on The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon went to Utah.
 * Canada was the first country in North America (and one of the first outside the UK) to see broadcasts of Doctor Who when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation debuted the first season in 1964 (it was cancelled a year later, however). Viewers in Edmonton, Alberta were also the first to see the 1996 TV movie, which aired there a few days before it was shown in the US. In 2005 Canada repeated history by once again becoming the first North American country (and one of if not the first non-UK countries) to see the revived series, again on the CBC.
 * The origins of Doctor Who also owe a debt to Canada, as Sydney Newman, considered one of the creators of Doctor Who, was a Canadian working for the BBC.
 * According to The Brilliant Book 2011, a non-canonical REF book; when solar flares threatened life on Earth, the nations of the world constructed starships such as Starship UK, to house their populations. Starship Canada was among them.
