Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 1st January 1999:
SPACE - The Imagination Station http://www.spacecast.com/ and
http://www.hwcn.org/~an933/spacedw.htm
Sunday at 8AM EST, Monday at 3:30AM - The Space Museum: The Dimensions of Time - episode 2 of 4
Monday through Friday at 7:30AM - The Chase - episodes 1 to 5 of 6 (The Executioners, The Death Of Time, Flight Through Eternity, Journey Into Terror, The Death Of Doctor Who)

Get the new year off right with a healthy dose of Hartnell. Sunday sees the Doctor and company, finally in the present, trying to alter the future in which they wind up as dead exhibits. The weekday episodes feature the Daleks hunting the TARDIS crew, in a terrifying battle that will wind up splitting the four apart forever. Viewers may note that SPACE interrupted its weekday Who rotation for the first time ever on January 1st, so the weekday episodes are one day behind what viewers may remember from the last 2 cycles.
