Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 11th September 1998:
WTBU 69 in Indianapolis, Indiana enters John Nathan-Turner's era as Doctor Who producer when they air The Leisure Hive in movie format Sunday evening at 6. The 4th Doctor's coat and scarf have shrunk, the opening credits have been completely altered, and the special effects budget has gone up. And yes, there's an interesting story in there too. Somehow this story's episodes came in under length, so the story is only 80 minutes long.
