Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 11th December 1998:
UK Gold - satellite / cable channel
Late Friday from 12:05 to 3:05AM - The Dead Planet - movie version
Sunday from 8:30 to 11:20AM - The Green Death - movie version
The weekend begins with the second ever Doctor Who story. Ian and Barbara meet aliens for the first time. The alien race introduced in this story turned the series into a smash hit and guaranteed its future. Sunday's story turns on its head the notion that the 3rd Doctor is an arch conservative. An oil refinery's sludge mutates magnets, er, maggots into dangerous creatures that threaten humanity. Meanwhile, a renegade computer plans to take over humanity, blithely unaware that the species it wants to conquer might not survive. The final scene before the closing credits is one of the most haunting scenes on television.
