Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 11th September 1998:
UK Gold pulls out some interesting old stories this Who omnibus weekend. On Saturday, relive the 1st Doctor tale The Time Meddler from 10AM to 12:05PM. The Doctor, Vicki, and new companion Steven land in 1066, in what looks like a typical historical adventure. But 20th Century technology is present. What force could be powerful enough to bring technology across time, yet nostalgic enough to only use 20th Century style materials? This story was the first one to offer any hint to the Doctor's people.
Then, on Sunday, set your VCRs to record The Mind of Evil from 9 to 11:55AM. Once you've gotten back from Church, you'll enjoy a classic 3rd Doctor / Jo / Brigadier / Benton / Yates story. The Doctor investigates the Keller machine, and the Brigadier is in charge of moving a nuclear missile while running a peace conference. Two people handling 3 separate matters, or one deadly trap coming together. This highly regarded story no longer exists in colour, but it works in Black and White.
