Friday 19th March 1999:

Late Friday from Midnight to 1:45AM GST The Ark movie version
Sunday from 9:20 to 11:10AM The Android Invasion movie version
Arriving on a spaceship some 10 million years in your future, one carrying the last survivors of an otherwise dead Earth along with their slaves, the Monoids, I discovered that my companion Dodo had caught a sniffle. Now, of course, this wouldn't have bothered me too terribly, but unfortunately the humans weren't resistant to the disease. Oh, dear. Then, in my fourth incarnation, I had to deal with some alien nasties looking to use androids to invade Earth. Which was a bit of a bother, since all I really wanted was a bottle of ginger beer.
