Continuity:

Introduction:

This is Forces TV. In 1988 Central TV came up with a weird game-based thriller called The One Game. Catch the start of that after the second episode of our classic Doctor Who story, Spearhead From Space.


During end credits:

A standard Forces TV caption at the bottom appeared during the final scene to indicate "Next: The One Game", and then towards the end of the credits to indicate "Next: The One Game, Later Spenser: For Hire".


Ad breaks:

The ad break takes place between the scenes with General Finch visiting UNIT and asking about the police box in the lab, and Munro arriving back at the hospital to find one of his men 'guarding' Dr Beavis's car.
