Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Monday 13th July 1998:
Another country where you need Cable to see Who. If you have FOXTEL, you can tune into Who on UK-TV (channel 5 in that system). Individual episodes are running weeknights at 11:30PM (for night owls), with omnibus showings at 1PM Saturday, 2AM Sunday, and 8AM Sunday. This week - Monday's episode is the conclusion of Sylvester McCoy's The Happiness Patrol. Tuesday thru Thursday you can experience Silver Nemesis again. Friday night they run part one of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. You're getting double the fun for your omnibus this weekend, by the way. The Happiness Patrol omnibus runs for 90 minutes, followed by the Silver Nemesis omnibus. 3 hours long, and 3 chances to see it that weekend. Stop gloating!
