Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 9th October 1998:
UK Gold - Cable and Satellite network
Saturday morning from 10:05AM to 12:05PM - The Tomb of the Cybermen - movie format
Sunday morning from 9:55 to 11:50AM - Day of the Daleks - movie format.
The classic The Evil of the Daleks may be missing, but these two stories are essentially its sequels. "Tomb" was the story that followed directly after "Evil". The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria land on Telos, where the Cybermen lie buried. But someone in a human expedition wants to reawaken them. .Day' is a 3rd Doctor and Jo story, where humans from an alternate 22nd Century come to the 20th to kill the man they believe is responsible for humanity being subjugated in the future. This was the first Dalek story after "Evil", and it almost included a reference to it, but that got cut. This network runs commercials in the stories.
