Monday 10th August 1998:
SPACE has done it again. First they were cutting back the number of showings of Doctor Who due to ratings. Then there was the confusion about the Sunday broadcasts (they're staying, by the way). Now they've started pre-empting broadcasts. They are bumping shows around on late Friday nights / early Saturday mornings to accommodate movies. The 3:30AM Eastern broadcast is being affected. Last Friday late week, TombOfTheCybermen part 4 did not air. This week and next week, the late Friday broadcasts will air at 4AM instead of the regular 3:30AM. August 28/29th's broadcast is scheduled to air at its regular time.

Oh, you want to find out what they're actually showing? Oh well. The weekday showings this week will feature the 5 episode story The Dominators, the first complete story with Zoe in it. Quarks appear in a pre-DS9 role. Do the Dull-cians have a prayer? Only if the Doctor intervenes. The Sunday episode is Planet of Giants: Crisis, the conclusion to that Hartnell story. Hard to imagine that it was 2 episodes until some judicious editing took place. It also teaches an important lesson about things a villain should never leave near flammable objects. Next week the weekday story is the Troughton 5 part adventure The Mind Robber, which picks up right after The Dominators and throws our heroes into a place of utter unreality. This story featured the shortest episodes ever in Doctor Who (the conclusion was 18 minutes long), so expect filler material after each episode. The weekday showings for these two weeks will be at 7:30AM, 1:30PM, and 3:30AM the following morning (4AM on those two Saturday mornings). The Sunday show airs at 8AM with a repeat at 3:30AM the next day. SPACE is available to Canadian viewers who pay for the specialty cable package.
