Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Monday 10th August 1998:
BBC Prime offers millions of Europeans the chance to see Doctor Who 3 times on Saturdays. An episode airs at 5:30PM Central European time and repeats at 1:05AM and 10AM the next Saturday. This week's early broadcasts feature The Robots of Death: Part One while the later broadcast features The Robots of Death: Part Two. The Doctor tries to prove to Leela once and for all that if you are polite to people they will be polite in return. So of course they're promptly arrested and charged with murder.
