Well, today This Week In Doctor Who turns 3 years old, if anyone can believe it. I had planned a little surprise for this edition, however plans did not quite work out. Hopefully next week. Until then, enjoy this edition. |

SCI-FI Channel http://www.scifi.com/ East Feed Sun 9PM EDT (8PM CDT, 7PM MDT, 6PM PDT, 5PM Alaska, 3PM Hawaii) West Feed Sun 9PM PDT (10PM MDT, 8PM Alaska, 6PM Hawaii) "DOCTOR WHO" 1996 movie - 2 hours First USA airing since the FOX premiere in 1996. The Master has been exterminated by the Daleks for his evil deeds. Before he died, he requested that the 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) take his remains back to Gallifrey. But when the mission goes awry, the Doctor is forced to land in San Francisco, where his existence and Earth itself are thrown into peril. With Paul McGann, Daphne Ashbrook, and Eric Roberts. Pilot for a revival of the TV series which fizzled when the US ratings on FOX came in under expectations. Maybe we can get great ratings this time and embarrass FOX. |

NHPTV New Hampshire 11,49,52 http://www.nhptv.org/ Late Sat Mid EDT Destiny of the Daleks eps 3+4 of 4 The Daleks have returned to Skaro to unearth their creator, Davros, who they left for dead millennia ago. Why do they suddenly need the help of an *inferior* creature? For that matter, why are the Movellans searching for him too? Late Thu Mid EDT City of Death eps 1+2 of 4 The Doctor and Romana finally take a vacation. Destination - Paris in 1979. Beautiful city, many nooks and crannies, and a slightly splintered timeline. Perfect place for a holiday. No time-space dimensions were harmed in the production of this story. |

 |

A story to watch for the scenes between Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant, as the Doctor hits the lowest point he ever crashes to in the TV series mentally. |

MPT Maryland 22,28,31,36,62,67 http://www.mpt.org/ Late Sat Mid EDT The Chase movie (The Executioners, The Death Of Time, Flight Through Eternity, Journey Into Terror, The Death Of Doctor Who, The Planet Of Decision) The 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki wind up on the run, as a Dalek assassination squad decides to eliminate the TARDIS crew once and for all. Somehow, they have built their own equivalent to the TARDIS, and they aren't afraid to use it. Special guest starring William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, the Beatles, the crew of the Marie Celeste, Frankenstein, and Count Dracula. A wild ride through time and space. |

WUSF 16 Tampa, FL http://www.wusftv.usf.edu/ Sat 11:30PM EDT The Curse of Fenric all 4 eps Next week (July 21st) is the end of WUSF's Doctor Who run. This time, Ace and the 7th Doctor visit a secret British naval base in 1943. Someone's unleashed a Viking curse, and everyone in the town, including Ace, seems to be linked to the approaching force of evil. Oh, and a Russian task force shows up as well. An interesting story, which had the misfortune to portray the Soviet Union in a positive light just a few months before the archives were opened and its true dark past came out. Oops! Still, good story. |

WCET 48 Cincinnati, OH http://www.wcet.org/ Sat 11PM EDT The Androids of Tara eps 2+3 of 4 The Doctor is recruited against his will to help Prince Reynart be crowned King. Meanwhile, Romana is recruited against her will to help Count Grendel be crowned King. Poor K9 can't get anyone to recruit him, alas. |
