Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:
Friday 16th April 1999:
SPACE: The Imagination Station http://www.spacecast.com/ and
http://www.hwcn.org/~an933/spacedw.htm
Monday at 7:30AM EDT The Sontaran Experiment episode 2 of 2
Tuesday through Friday at 7:30AM EDT The Ark episodes 1 through 4 of 4 (The Steel Sky, The Plague, The Return, The Bomb)
SPACE brings its Doctor Who broadcasts closer to the brink of cancellation this week. On Monday, they air the second half of The Sontaran Experiment, the only 2 episode Tom Baker story (and the only Tom Baker story SPACE purchased). Then, on Tuesday, instead of returning to the beginning of the series like they did on their last cycle, they begin airing The Ark, a 3rd Season William Hartnell story. This story would have aired in the late Sunday / early Monday slot this month if that slot hadn't been dropped. SPACE will continue the series from this point. And beginning next week (Saturday, April 24th), the series begins running 7 days a week in the 7:30AM slot.
