Late Friday and Saturday at Midnight EST Inferno movie version
The 3rd Doctor and Liz work at a drilling project which seeks to penetrate the core of the Earth. The Doctor wants to use energy from the project to repair the TARDIS console. His efforts go dangerously awry, slipping him sideways in time. Meanwhile, the project has a few "complications". Unusually stark and bleak for a Pertwee tale. MPT has only scheduled one hour for each of the two broadcasts, although the movie version runs 2 and a half hours. Either Doctor Who fans won't get the full story, or people tuning in for other shows at 1AM are in for a surprise.
