Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 16th October 1998:
BBC Prime - Cable and Satellite Channel
Saturday morning at 1:05 and 10AM - The Talons of Weng-Chiang - episode 6 of 6
Saturday evening at 6PM - Horror of Fang Rock - episode 1 of 4

In the early broadcast, the 4th Doctor and Leela fight Weng-Chiang and the evil puppet in a classic battle. Failure means that Weng-Chiang will use the time cabinet, which he doesn't realize will destroy him and London. In the evening airing, the 4th Doctor and Leela get lost in the fog and wind up at an old lighthouse. A ship crashes outside. Then people begin to die.
