Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEST Time and the Rani all 4 pts

The Rani accidentally causes the Doctor to regenerate, which at least makes it easier for her plan to trick him into helping her complete a very nasty experiment. Sylvester McCoy plays the 7th Doctor, and the unconscious form of the 6th Doctor in the pre-credits sequence for episode 1.
Tue-Fri 11:30PM AEST Paradise Towers pts 1 - 4 of 4
See BBC Prime for story details. Still can't imagine why someone would want to take a vacation there.
