Sat 7:05-9AM BST The Sun Makers movie
A classic story which you can also get in episodic format from BBC Video (no way they've deleted it yet, surely.) The 4th Doctor and Leela take on big corporations and the evils of high taxes in a bi-partisan satire particularly appropriate with the lunatic taxes of today and the corruption of companies coming out daily. Don't laugh cause it's just US firms. Clinton style integrity went worldwide. I can think of at least one British company which has clearly been cooking the books, has been firing all the employees they can find, and is probably run by the Collector himself. Is The Sun Makers actually a prediction of our near future? I hope not - their dress sense is terrible.
Sun 7:20-9AM BST Underworld movie
The Time Lords helped out a race many years ago. The folks they helped betrayed them, stole technology, and mostly destroyed themselves. The Time Lords ought to feel annoyed - instead they feel guilty. And the survivors of the evil race are now about to pull a guilt trip on the Doctor to help them out of a jam.
