Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Monday 13th July 1998:
Canada's probably the most Who-broadcast friendly country at the moment, if you're willing to shell out for the specialty tier of Cable. Space: The Imagination Station is running the early episodes 3 times a weekday, with a weekend episode that airs twice. If you're in the Eastern Time Zone, that's 7:30AM, 1:30PM, and 3:30AM on weekdays, with 8AM and 3:30AM on Sundays. This week: Monday thru Thursday - relive The Time Meddler, where a mysterious monk has access to technology that doesn't belong in the 11th Century, and the Doctor must figure out the reason before history is altered. On Friday sit back for part one of The Ark, where The Doctor and Stephen discover the last remnants of humanity, and Dodo develops a cold. On Sunday your VCR can record part 5 of The Sensorites for you to watch when you get home from Church. Classic stories, classic plots, classic Hartnell fluffs!
