Sat 11:35PM EDT The Caves of Androzani (complete story - format uncertain)
(NOTE: MPT's October listings indicate that they are airing the National Doctor Who Night in this slot. They are not. The satellite feed was cancelled, so they can't air it live. They will air it December 2nd at 11PM.) The 5th Doctor's era ends with this tense installment, where The Doctor and Peri get caught in the battle between a corrupt government, drug smugglers, and a kindly maniac with a mean streak. Last week's story was in episode format instead of movie, which might mean that MPT is switching to episodic versions again. Or it might be a mistake. This broadcast should reveal the truth of the matter.
