Late Fri 1-2:55AM GMT The Tomb of the Cybermen movie
The Friday night Black & White moves into Pat Troughton's era with the famous 'lost story'. This story has yet to air in its complete episodic form in the UK, even though it has been 8 years since its recovery. Only episode 4 has been rerun, and only on BBC Choice. The story has not aired in its original format in the UK since its original 1967 telecast.
Sun 8:20-10:10AM GMT The Visitation movie
The 5th Doctor gets Tegan to Heathrow Airport - a few centuries early. It seems that aliens have crash landed on the planet and are introducing some dangerous anachronisms. The aliens also plan to wipe out humanity, which isn't very nice either. In the Doctor's efforts to stop the aliens, a member of the TARDIS crew will suffer a fatal death.
Sun 10:10-11:10AM GMT Black Orchid movie
Nyssa meets her double when the TARDIS lands in 1925 England. The Doctor gets to show off his cricket skills. Meanwhile, a murderer lurks, wondering if Adric will ever get away from the food.

Sun 6-7:50PM GMT Earthshock? movie
While I believe that UK Gold Classics will actually air The Visitation and Black Orchid, it should be noted that Sceneone's online listings believe that this story will air instead. There is no extra time allotted to fit in Black Orchid, unless the entire online schedule is wrong.
