Wed Terror of the Zygons pts 1+2 of 4
Thu Terror of the Zygons pts 3+4 of 4
The 4th Doctor, Sarah, and Harry return to Earth, where the Brigadier wants their health to stop oil rigs from sinking in Loch Ness, killing the operators and not doing the economy much good either. Can the Doctor save the day before the British wind up having to import more foreign oil?
Fri The Android Invasion pts 1+2 of 4
BBC Kids keeps airing this story out of order, and I think I've figured out why. Harry Sullivan is in this story, while he is not in Planet Of Evil or Pyramids Of Mars. Either they believe that viewers would be confused by Harry disappearing and reappearing, or the person who ordered the show for BBC Kids got confused by Harry disappearing and reappearing, and assumes this is the correct order.
Sat The Robots of Death all 4 pts
Leela and the 4th Doctor stalk robotic killers aboard a Sandminer in this fast paced psychological thriller written by Chris Boucher.
Sun The Talons of Weng-Chiang all 6 pts (no 3:30AM rerun)
19th Century London - stage, song, and murder. Theatregoers and ladies of the night are being murdered by a phantom of a magic show - the opera left town already. The 4th Doctor and Leela wander into the situation, and learn that even phantoms can be annoyed when you offer them jelly babies.
Mon The Android Invasion pts 3+4 of 4
Android replicas are being primed to replace key citizens on Earth. Politicians, military people, pub owners. Yes, definitely a British TV series. Honestly. Would an American sci-fi series have ever had the bravado to suggest that an alien invader would take the time to create replicas of the Cheers gang to help with an invasion? I think not.
Tue Planet of Evil pts 1+2 of 4
The TARDIS misses its destination (it finally arrives in The Android Invasion). The 4th Doctor and Sarah reluctantly join a rescue mission seeking out the survivors of a scientific expedition to a planet on the border of two universes. The realms of matter and anti-matter.
