Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Monday 27th July 1998:
Australians with FOXTEL's UKTV get to see more of Season 26 this week, as they approach the end of the series. Weeknights at 11:30PM enjoy Doctor Who in episode format. Monday and Tuesday you can see the concluding two episodes of Battlefield, with guest stars Jean Marsh and Nicholas Courtney. Wednesday thru Friday you can see the final produced story of the series, though not the last one broadcast. It's all 3 episodes of Ghost Light, as the Doctor learns why Ace burned down a house in her hometown. And if you miss the weeknight broadcasts, you can enjoy two omnibuses this week, instead of one. A two-hour broadcast of Battlefield followed by a 90 minute broadcast of Ghost Light, for 3 and a half hours of Who excitement. Catch the weekend Doctor Who omnibus Saturday afternoon at 1PM, very early Sunday at 2AM, and Sunday morning at 8AM.
