Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 23rd July 1999:
SPACE: The Imagination Station

http://www.hwcn.org/~an933/spacedw.htm
Sat-Mon 7:30AM EDT Planet of Giants eps 1 - 3 of 3 (Planet Of Giants, Dangerous Journey, Crisis)
Tue-Fri 7:30AM EDT The Dalek Invasion of Earth eps 1 - 4 of 6 (World's End, The Daleks, Day Of Reckoning, The End Of Tomorrow)

For Planet of Giants, see UK Gold's listing for a description. Later in the week, the 1st Doctor and company finally get back to Earth - a mere 200 years late. London is in ruins. A mysterious force has taken over, but what is it? On its original broadcast, the overall story title was not used, so the reappearance of the Daleks took most of the British public as a complete surprise. Remade as Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., a 1966 movie with Peter Cushing as the Doctor which deserves some TV time.
