Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 9th October 1998:
BBC Prime - Cable and Satellite network
Saturday morning at 1:05AM and 10AM - The Talons of Weng-Chiang - episode 5 of 6
Saturday evening at 6PM - The Talons of Weng-Chiang - episode 6 of 6

The 4th Doctor and Leela race against time to stop Weng-Chiang from distilling enough life essence from humans to attempt to return to his own time. BBC Prime has evidently switched to a fall schedule, hence the change in the PM broadcast time.
