Friday 12th March 1999:
UK Gold
Late Friday from Midnight to 1:45AM GST The Time Meddler movie version
Sunday from 8:50 to 10:40AM The Pyramids Of Mars movie version
About the time my plane sets off for Europe, UK Gold airs The Time Meddler. There's something vaguely alarming about that prospect somehow. A 'monk' has knowledge of the future that he shouldn't have, and conspires to change life as we know it. And gasp, he has his own TARDIS. On the topic of altering history, The Pryamids Of Mars houses Sutekh, a vicious member of the Osiran race. If he ever escapes from his prison, he will destroy all life in the galaxy. As this story takes place in 1911, history as we know it hangs in the balance.
