Late Friday from Midnight to 3AM The Chase movie version
Sunday from 9:25 to 11:10AM Planet of Evil movie version

Two stories with virtually nothing in common air this weekend. Late Friday, the Daleks decide to deal with the 'Doctor' problem once and for all. With a Time Machine of their own, the Daleks are out to exterminate the 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, and anything else in their way. I won't reveal whether the Daleks succeed, but 2 of the regulars depart the series *forever*. Sunday morning the VCR can pick up a classic 4th Doctor / Sarah adventure. Long in the future and far away, a rescue mission is underway for a lost expedition. The sole survivor of the expedition has made a discovery that could change the galaxy. But his discovery could carry a devastating price. Can the Doctor make everyone see sense before they kill him? See sense? They're the guest stars! Guest stars never see sense until the last 10 minutes. It's part of their charm.
