Fri 11:40PM-2:15AM, Sat 6:30-9AM BST Planet of the Spiders movie
The 3rd Doctor's life comes to a halt in a story with mind reading, a "car" chase of James Bond proportions, the return of a friend, the admonition of a mentor, and the trouble caused by a Blue Crystal.
Sat 11:55PM-1:45AM, Sun 7:20-9AM BST Robot movie
Tom Baker becomes the 4th Doctor. A group of mad scientists and intellectuals used a hyper intelligent Robot to bring the world to blackmail. That was their first mistake.
Mon 7:20-10:45AM BST The Dead Planet aka The Daleks aka The Mutants (1963) movie
Dalek Day One begins on UK Gold. Ian and Barbara arrive on an alien world for the first time. The world appears dead, but two life forms survive. One species looks and sounds a bit like mildly dopey humans. The other species has pulled back into a city, hidden away in anti-radiation armour, bitter over the war. Despite the better judgement of Ian, Barbara, and Susan, the 1st Doctor will get them stuck between the two forces.
Mon 10:45AM-1:35PM BST The Dalek Invasion of Earth movie
Dalek Day. The 1st Doctor finally gets Ian and Barbara back to London. But the city is deserted and devastated. The Daleks have taken control of all Earth. As humanity faces its possible twilight, the TARDIS crew joins the remnants in a last ditch battle for survival.
Mon 1:35-3:25PM BST The Day Of The Daleks movie
Dalek Day. The 3rd Doctor's exile on 20th Century Earth is interrupted by rebels from the future, trying to justify assassination attempts with stories of a world under alien control. It seems the Daleks have changed history. The Doctor has to put history back on its original course.
Mon 3:25-6:05PM BST Planet of the Daleks movie
Dalek Day. Wounded and ill after the events of Frontier In Space, the 3rd Doctor convinces the Time Lords to send the TARDIS in pursuit of the Daleks. On a jungle world, Thals hunt the Daleks, unaware of the Dalek plans for invasion. Part 3 is in black & white.
Mon 6:05-8PM BST Death to the Daleks movie
Dalek Day concludes. The 3rd Doctor and Sarah find their vacation interrupted by a power drain on the TARDIS. Also affected - a human ship and a Dalek ship, both in search of the same cure for a rare disease. The Doctor and the Daleks may have found a force more powerful than they are - a hyperintelligent City.
