Continuity:

Introduction:

Sunday afternoon on ForcesTV. At 3:30 it's comedy, as everybody seems to want to have their own midlife crisis in Trouble in Mind. Then, at 5:30 it's Forces News Weekend. And at 6, a young man with no memory is a prime suspect for murder in Spenser: For Hire.


During end credits:

A standard Forces TV caption at the bottom appeared during the final scene to indicate "Next: Doctor Who", and then towards the end of the credits to indicate "Next: Doctor Who, Later: Midnight Caller".


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.
