Australian Doctor Who fans will legally be able to watch the new series online before it airs on television, it has emerged.

Internet broadcasting service iView will broadcast the first episode of series five from midnight on Friday, April 16. It will then air two days later on ABC1.

"iView is an additional way for Australian audiences to watch ABC TV's content generally after, but in this special case before, its television broadcast," said director of television Kim Dalton.

"We hope the lure of Doctor Who will provide incentive for more viewers to discover iView."
