Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Wednesday 4th October 2006:
UKTV Gold aired The Claws of Axos early Sunday morning 1 October without prior notice, replacing an episode of The House Of Elliot. The Doctor Who TV Movie will air on 15 October at 7:15AM. Series 2 will have its UKTV premiere in a weeklong event from 23 to 29 October - nightly at 7 & 8PM BST with repeats at 3 & 4PM BST the next day. The Christmas Invasion will not air as part of the Series 2 premiere. Specific days and times in the main listings. A couple of readers with Digiguide have mentioned that UKTV Gold has some classic Doctor Who scheduled in November, with Genesis of the Daleks and some Jon Pertwee stories coming up. I don't have firm information on stories and times yet. All times one hour later on UKTV Gold + 1.
