Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 4th December 1998:
UK Gold - satellite / cable channel
Late Friday from 12:30 to 2:05AM - An Unearthly Child - movie version
Sunday from 8:45 to 11:20AM - Planet of the Daleks - movie version
The weekend begins with the very first Doctor Who story, the one that threw me for a loop in 1986 by not being in colour. After experiencing that classic, set your VCR to get the Sunday broadcast. When you get back from services, you can see the Time Lords pilot the TARDIS to Spirodon, the headquarters of the Dalek invasion fleet. The 3rd Doctor lapses into a coma. The story builds from there. Episode 3 only exists in black + white, so don't be alarmed when the colour disappears, then reappears later.
