Sun 8:05-10AM BST The Hand Of Fear movie
(Note new earlier start time to accommodate that British sci-fi classic - Quantam Leap?) In Elisabeth Sladen's final appearance in the series as a regular character, Sarah gets an evil hand in a rock quarry. Now, it's driving her to kill and take over a nuclear power facility. Thankfully, this is Doctor Who, not Angel, so we don't have to find out if Sarah can sing well in a karaoke bar to find the answer. The Nunton power facility in this story was at one point going to be the Nuton facility first seen and ravaged by aliens in The Claws of Axos.
