Late Fri 1:35-3:25AM, Sat 7:15-9AM GMT Day of the Daleks movie
I guess the Daleks felt put upon. Not only was their unsuccessful invasion of the Earth in the 22nd Century turned into a massively popular early story of a British science fiction series, but it was adapted into a Feature film starring Peter Cushing. So, they react in the most dangerous way possible - they change history. Now the 3rd Doctor, Jo, and UNIT have to set things right, before the Day Of The Daleks comes. And the Doctor doesn't even have a working TARDIS to help out.
Late Sat 12:45-2:25AM, Sun 7:20-9AM GMT The Curse of Peladon movie
The Galactic Federation (aka the UN in Space) is considering welcoming Peladon into its alliance. But some of the delegates want to keep Peladon out, even by lethal means. Can the Doctor get a unanimous vote, or will the Federation proove irrelevant? And why do these debates always involve confusing vicious fights in pits and a cloudy picture in the middle of the story?
