Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Monday 3rd August 1998:
BBC Prime services millions of Europeans with Cable or satellite. They run Doctor Who 3 times a Saturday, with single episodes at 1:05AM, 10AM, and 5:30PM Central European Time. This week the AM airings will be the conclusion to The Face of Evil, while the 5:30 broadcast will be episode one of The Robots of Death. Two stories about machines that go insane and cause a lot of death, both written by the same author for the same season. Thank goodness both stories are good.
