Belgium
by Remco Admiraal (with some dates changes thanks to Frans Faase)
Belgium has 3 official languages, Dutch ("Flemish"), French and a small German-speaking minority. BRT 1 (Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep, since 1998 renamed VRT), was the first TV channel for the Dutch speaking viewers in Belgium, and aired the series from January 1977. The series was shown uncut without commercial breaks and with Dutch subtitles. There were 39 of the 48 episodes of the series shown, ending in April 1978. Most of the Year 2 episodes were aired (the exceptions are Space Warp and both parts of The Bringers Of Wonder). Only two thirds of the Year 1 episodes were shown in the initial run.
Strangely, two consecutively shown episodes (Seed Of Destruction and The AB Chrysalis) have almost identical titles: Het spiegelbeeld and Spiegelbeeld, meaning (The) Mirror Image.
From May 1990 until October 1991 the series was repeated and all 48 episodes were aired in a more logical order than the first screening. In Belgium memorabilia like the Eagle kits and the viewmaster reels were available. Furthermore the Belgian viewers could also watch Cosmos: 1999 on French television and most of the French magazines, comics etcetera were available to the Belgian market as well. However, Year 2 was not seen in French until the 1990s.
