Reports from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 2nd October 1998:
UK Gold is the Satellite / Cable home for Doctor Who in the British Isles. Saturday morning's omnibus showing is the final complete 1st Doctor story, The War Machines. The Doctor gets Dodo back to 1966 London, just in time to witness the global linkup of all computers. He suspects that this could lead to catastrophe. Since then of course, most computers have linked up to the Internet, and the Doctor's fears have been proven true. :-) This story airs from 10:05AM to 12:05PM.
Then on Sunday morning, The Dæmons will air. The 3rd Doctor and Jo explore the mystery of Devil's End, which seems to have just released a devil. Soon they find themselves against black magic and the Master. It airs from 9:20 to 11:40AM. This is colour restored version.

Friday 9th October 1998:
UK Gold had a very bad week last week. They were running shows behind schedule and all kinds of other things. On Sunday, 4 October, Doctor Who was affected by their woes. The colour version of The Dæmons was scheduled to air (a version they have aired before). Somehow, their movie broadcast began in Black and White. Late in the broadcast the version went to colour. As of press time, there was no known reason for the bizarre broadcast.
