Late Sat 12:30AM EST The Robots of Death movie
The problem with a title like this is, while it is very impressive and drags you in, it kind of gives away the major plot twist before the story even begins. At least it doesn't say that the 4th Doctor and Leela land inside a sandminer in the desert. That would just be too much.
