Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Monday 27th July 1998:
UK Gold offers people in the British Isles with Satellite or Cable weekend omnibuses of Doctor Who. But they don't offer very good online listings. As of press time, I could not find listings for next weekend. Based on the broadcast times for the last two weekends, I'm going to make some assumptions. Saturday is their William Hartnell broadcast, which should be Planet of Giants. Sunday mornings have been their Sylvester McCoy slot, and they've reached Survival. Each of these stories is 3 episodes long, and they like to end around noon. Most likely, they'll begin between 10 and 10:30AM. Hmm ... the first 3 part story and the last. And both involve cats in the episode 1 cliffhanger. Probably coincidence. If someone out there has a reliable source of information on UK Gold, please let me know.
