Sat 7:10-9AM GMT Time and the Rani movie
Following the traumatic events in the last segment of Trial Of A Time Lord (which you didn't see - UK Gold skipped it), the Doctor and Mel resume their adventures in time and space. When the Rani forces the TARDIS to crash on the planet Lakertya, the Doctor's sudden regeneration into his 7th incarnation (Sylvester McCoy) makes it easier for the Rani to con him into helping her complete her latest master plan.
Sun 9:10-11AM GMT Paradise Towers movie
New later start time on Sundays. Richard Briers (Hector in BBC Dramedy Monarch Of The Glen) plays the Chief Caretaker, head of an elite police force who patrol the famed Paradise Towers. There shouldn't be that much to keep an eye on. Most of the anticipated population never got there, nobody visits, and those who are around are teens and grannies. But death stalks the halls of the Towers. Everyone is terrified of the things that go lurking in the night. Everyone but the Chief Caretaker. Does he know something unknown to the other residents, or has he simply been working too hard?
