THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - December 15, 2000 |
|
  |
I would like to begin with a big correction from last week. WYIN 56 in Gary, IN did not air the National Doctor Who Night on December 2nd, even though they claimed they did on their website. All 4 episodes of The Pirate Planet aired instead. Maybe WYIN will actually air the special the next time pledge season comes around for them - in March. |
Due to assorted calamities, I did not have time to write descriptions for most of the episodes airing. Regular service of this week to return next week. Additions and corrections are welcome at bfelli...@earthlink.net , bfelli...@gallifreyone.com , or bfelliott3 on AOL IM. And now, the listings: |

UK Gold http://www.sceneone.co.uk/s1/tv/listings Sun 8:20-11AM GMT Planet of the Daleks movie The Time Lords send the TARDIS to Spirodon at the Doctor's request to track down a Dalek army. But the aftereffects of the bullet wound throws him into a coma, forcing Jo to take drastic measures to save him. Unlike the movie version in the US, this version *should* include episode 3, which survives only in Black & White. UK Gold 2 http://www.sceneone.co.uk/s1/tv/listings Pre-empted for a second week. I hope this doesn't mean that UK Gold 2 intends to pre-empt every single Doctor Who broadcast that goes on for 6 episodes. |

BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com/ Late Fri 1AM*, Sat 3:30PM CET The Visitation ep 1 of 4 Sun 11:30AM, Late Thu 12:30AM CET The Visitation ep 2 of 4 *Not seen in all regions. In 1664, a village in the vicinity of the future Heathrow Airport is taken over by reptillian aliens. In spite of the potential to have a huge windfall in a few centuries, they show no interest in purchasing the land cheap as speculators. |

UKTV Australia http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/ Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEDT Robot all 4 eps Benton's promotion to RSM gets less notice than it would normally merit, as the Doctor has just regenerated and the plans to a powerful weapon have been stolen. Mon-Wed The Ark In Space eps 2 - 4 of 4 The good news - the giant wasp that cut off the Ark's alarm system has been found dead in a broom cupboard. The bad news - there's evidence that an egg sac hatched. And there's no time to revive the humans before the baby wasps come of age. Thu-Fri The Sontaran Experiment eps 1 - 2 of 2 Earth has recovered from being attacked by Solar Flares. But is it safe for the human race to return? The Doctor plans to find out. |

Prime TV New Zealand http://www.tetrap.com/drwho/nzdwfc/ http://www.primetv.co.nz/ Sun-Tue 6:30PM The Time Monster eps 4 - 6 of 6 Only previous airing in 1986. The Master plans to travel back to when Atlantis existed, to steal the crystal that can control Kronos. Alas, he did not research enough to find out why Atlantis is gone. Blatant contradiction of The Underwater Menace, but that story's currently lost, so it doesn't matter. Wed-Fri 6:30PM The Three Doctors eps 1 - 3 of 4 Last rerun in 1986. |
