Sat 7:10-9AM BST The Androids of Tara movie
The 4th segment of the Key To Time takes an astonishing 2 minutes to find. But Romana holds a key that an evil Count values far more than the Key To Time - she's a means for a coup to take the throne. Swords, androids, wit, and a fun time for everybody. Well, maybe not for the characters who die, but fun for everyone else.
Sun 7:10-9AM BST The Power of Kroll movie
Great Kroll. Mighty Kroll. Kroll who tricked UK Gold into giving Doctor Who the full timeslot when they usually shorten it for shorter stories. Clever Kroll. Just don't eat us.
