Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 21st August 1998:
SPACE: The Imagination Station, for once, does not have any new news surrounding Doctor Who scheduling. The pruning back of broadcasts begins next month, so for now you can still enjoy the show in its customary time slots. Sunday SPACE will show World's End, episode 1 of a 6 episode William Hartnell story. I'm not giving the story title so that those who want to can be surprised by the ending. This episode airs at 8AM Sunday with a 3:30AM rerun early the next morning. The weekday episodes currently run at 7:30AM, 1:30PM, and 3:30AM. The Friday / Early Saturday broadcast will air at the regular 3:30AM time this week after several weeks of pre-emptions and delays. Monday through Thursday viewers can watch The Krotons, the first story ever written by famed Who scribe Robert Holmes. The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe land on a planet where the inhabitants live in fear and reverence to the Krotons. But should they? Then on Friday, Canadians can see episode 1 of The Seeds of Death. Aliens shut down the T.Mat system on the Moon just as the Doctor decides to pop up. Guess who finds himself in trouble again?
Some Canadians can also receive KSPS 7 Spokane, Washington or KBDI 12 Denver, Colorado, PBS stations that have been longtime Who broadcasters. As you read above, KBDI is not airing Who this week, but Canadian KSPS viewers will find its listings with the other US stations.
