Sat-Sun 7:30AM EST The Mind Robber eps 4 - 5 of 5
The 2nd Doctor takes on the malevolent powers that run the Land of Fiction. 2 very clever episodes that are surprisingly short (ep 5 is only 18 minutes long).

Mon-Thu 7:30AM EST The Krotons eps 1 - 4 of 4
Robert Holmes, possibly the most popular writer of the series, began his Who career with this story about crystalline aliens that enslave a primitive people, hoping to train some of the primitives for a dark purpose.

Fri 7:30AM EST The Seeds of Death ep 1 of 6
The Ice Warriors, who'll you remember from an earlier story that the BBC junked, and therefore can't be shown, take over the Moonbase, bringing commerce on Earth to a halt and threatening the planet with famine.
