Saturday at 11PM The Sontaran Experiment movie version

Like several other stations lately, KNME is airing Doctor Who in production order instead of the intended broadcast order. The 4th Doctor, Sarah, and Harry travel from Nerva to the Earth to find out if it is ready for humanity to return to. On first appearance, it appears fully refreshed, an ideal land with no one around. But they are not alone.
