Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 28th August 1998:
UK Gold, a satellite and cable service for people who can get it, offers Doctor Who omnibuses on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This weekend's stories explore the theories of time travel and the concept of changing history. Saturday from 10:05AM to 12:05PM, enjoy the classic 1st Doctor story The Space Museum. The Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki have a Twilight Zone-esque situation when they arrive at a space museum before they arrive. Imagine their surprise when they learn who four of the exhibits are. Sunday morning set your VCR to record the 3rd Doctor tale Inferno from 9:20AM to 12:30PM. When you get back from church, you can relive this 7 episode colour story. The Doctor's efforts to use a drilling project's power source to fix the TARDIS console throw him into a different dimension. The Doctor makes a terrifying discovery about the project. But can even he save two Earths at the same time? This version should include a scene where the Doctor and company are listening to a radio. This scene was cut from the original broadcast because Jon Pertwee provided the voice, and he was too well known as a radio star at the time. Special thanks to Mark Phippen for providing me with the full September Doctor Who schedule on UK Gold.
