UKTV Gold http://www.ukgold.tv http://www.onthebox.com/partner/otb
(All times 1 hour later on UKTV Gold + 1)
Saturday 6-9:25AM GMT Inferno movie
Season 7, Episodes 19 through 25. Doctor: Jon Pertwee. The last 7 episode story, so the last time you both have to get up early and stay later than usual to see the full Doctor Who story - yes you can sleep in till 7AM if your programming package has UKTV Gold + 1. The 3rd Doctor uses a drilling project to provide energy to work on the TARDIS console. An accident sends him to an alternate Earth, where the project is just slightly further along, and spots evidence that it is going disastrously wrong. Includes the radio scene deleted from the original TV broadcast but included in most repeats - it will be a deleted scene on the DVD release. I wonder if the Doctor considered that maybe it was the interference of the TARDIS that was causing the drilling disaster on both Earths in the first place. It would have been worth checking.
Sunday 7-8:50AM GMT Terror of the Autons movie
Season 8, Episodes 1 through 4. Doctor: Jon Pertwee. Colour-restored version from the early 1990s. Roger Delgado joins the series as The Master. Richard Franklin joins as Captain Mike Yates. Katy Manning joins as Jo Grant. The Autons try to rejoin the show, but the Doctor and U*N*I*T decide to fight them off again. Guess there's only room for so many regulars at one time. Sorry, plastic pals. Try again in 34 years.
