On the Friday night Black & White story, it's the adventures of the survivors of humanity, who travel under The Steel Sky of their spaceship. Dodo's cold causes The Plague to make The Return, which could be The Bomb that erases humanity. On Sunday, Reformation Day involves itself in the story when the Doctor decides to reform the Chameleon Circuit. His efforts are disrupted when an old enemy reforms itself to life, and engages in a policy of revenge and conquest. The final 4th Doctor story.

Sun 6-7:50PM GMT Logopolis movie
Since most people who celebrate Reformation Day are likely to be at Church when Logopolis airs on UK Gold, they may prefer to watch the evening replay, if they have a TV platform that has reformed itself enough to carry the second UK Gold station.
