Friday 18th September 1998:
UK Gold is airing two omnibus stories this weekend. On Saturday they'll air the William Hartnell story The Ark from 10:05AM to 12:05PM. The 1st Doctor, Steven, and Dodo land on a ship in the far future where all of humanity is stored. On Sunday they'll show the colour Jon Pertwee story The Claws of Axos from 10:05AM to 12PM. The 3rd Doctor, Jo, and UNIT's search for the Master is interrupted by the arrival of an alien ship. The aliens offer a substance that could significantly improve the human quality of life. But is the price too high?
