Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Monday 10th August 1998:
UK Gold continues getting its schedules out late, though this is the last time that'll be a severe problem. Saturday morning they have two omnibus stories to run - The Rescue and The Romans, two stories which dovetail into each other. The Radio Times listings in England appears to be a trifle confused about these stories, claiming that they starred Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, with Katy Manning. They actually star William Hartnell as the Doctor, are in Black and White, and introduce us to Vicki, Susan's replacement. Around 3 hours of Doctor Who which runs from 9:05AM to 12:05PM. Sunday's featured omnibus actually will star Jon Pertwee, but not Katy Manning. It's Doctor Who And The Silurians (blame the guy who put the titles on the episodes, not me). The Doctor, Liz, and the Brigadier try to find out why there are so many power outages and nervous breakdowns at a nuclear power facility. The answer will shock them all and bring humanity face to face with Earth's previous tenants. This very long story will run from 9:05AM to 12:30PM. I don't know if this will be the colourized or the black and white version.
