A distress call brings the 4th Doctor, Romana, and K9 (now voiced by David Brierly) to Chloris, a jungle planet. 15 years ago, a visitor came to the world, allegedly on a mission of peace.

A space accident entwines two ships together in a case of dimensional instability, drug abuse, and monsters alien & human. Naturally, the 4th Doctor gets blamed for everything.

Late Sun 2AM EST (1AM CST, Mid MST, 11PM PST, 3AM AST, 3:30AM Newfoundland) The Sun Makers all 4 pts
In the distant future, all life in the Solar System has moved to Pluto. Now humanity are slaves of an intergalactic corporation which is under the mistaken belief that if you tax people to death, they will work harder and produce more materials. The 4th Doctor, Leela, and K9 decide to teach the corporation about one of Thomas Jefferson's teachings - a little Revolution every now and then is a good thing.
Weeknights 7:30PM, 10:30PM, 2AM, 4AM EST (4:30PM, 7:30PM, 11PM, 1AM PST)
