Thursday 23rd July 1998:
UK Gold has Will and Syl omnibuses next weekend, with stories from the 1st and 7th Doctors. Saturday morning at 10:05AM the 1st Doctor encounters The Sensorites, an otherwise intelligent race of aliens who seem unusually scared of dark. (the next issue confirmed this was actually broadcast at 9:05am)
Sunday morning at 10:10AM the 7th Doctor and Ace travel to 1883 Perivale in Ghost Light to find out why the otherwise intelligent race of aliens in an old house seem unsusually scared of light. (this was also confirmed as 9:05am, and was also followed by The Curse of Fenric at 10:30am!

Monday 27th July 1998:
2 "oops"es to report this week. Last Monday, my information for UK Gold's schedule was apparently mistaken. More recent online listings indicate that the Saturday broadcast of The Sensorites ran at *9:05*AM instead of *10:05*AM. And on Sunday, they pulled a double feature, offering both Ghost Light and The Curse of Fenric, beginning at 9:05AM. I know the Doctor's a time traveller, but changing the start time each week is rather ridiculous.
