Monday 10th August 1998:
FOXTEL's UK-TV is showing the final week in its current cycle of Doctor Who stories. They plan to resume airing episodes in October with the 1st Doctor. No word on an exact date or if they will air any Who specials during their break. The weeknight episodes air at 11:30PM. Monday and Tuesday they show the concluding two episodes to Survival, the final regular story in the series. The Master is trapped on the Cheetah planet, where it is driving him mad. Now the Doctor and others are stuck there, and someone the Doctor cares for may not be able to resist the siren call of this dying planet.

Wednesday thru Friday they are showing THE 1996 TELEMOVIE in EPISODE FORMAT!?! This may be the first time that story has aired in this format. The story was 90 minutes long, so these episodes must be being aired without commercials. The weekend omnibuses will make their final appearances this weekend Saturday afternoon at 1, Sunday early morning at 2AM, and finally Sunday at 8AM. Survival will air in a 90 minute slot (probably with commercials), followed by THE 1996 TELEMOVIE in a 90 minute slot. The final hurrah (for now) of Doctor Who in Australia. Shame the first day without it is my birthday!
