Most Easter baskets have eggs and candy. Who fans in Canada get an encore of a Doctor Who documentary in their baskets Sunday. For once, SPACE is even airing Doctor Who in a timeslot that's viewable for everyone in Canada. Wouldn't it be nice if people tuned in and their ratings spiked upwards, showing that there is still an audience for the Doctor up in the North. Early, Early Monday viewers get the beginning of The Space Museum, a 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki story. They jump a time track and find themselves out of sink with time. Final 3:30AM broadcast. The rest of the week goes to the 3rd Doctor. First, he tries to find a cure for a plague that the 'Silurians' have poisoned humanity with. Then, the Doctor investigates when a Mars probe mission goes dangerously awry. His efforts are complicated by a bizarre cover-up.
