Early Monday at 3:30AM The Time Meddler: The Watcher ep 1 of 4
Monday at 7:30AM EST The Seeds of Death episode 6 of 6
Tuesday through Friday at 7:30AM The War Games episodes 1 through 4 of 10
Who needs sleep on Monday mornings when you can see the famous episode which first blended a historical story with a time travel plot! Can anyone resist the scene where Steven uses the wrist watch on the Viking's wrist to prove it can't be 1066? A little later that morning, the 2nd Doctor gambles with his life in a final effort to defeat the Ice Warriors. Beginning Tuesday, the final 2ndDoctor story runs. The TARDIS lands in the middle of World War I, not terribly far from a Roman Legion?!? Soon, the Doctor becomes aware of a devilish plan of intergalactic proportions. I don't have any evidence for it, but I'm certain that the Roman Legion scene was inspired by the end of Peter Cushing's 'Doctor Who and the Daleks' film.
