Friday 12th March 1999:
FOXTEL's UK-TV channel 5
http://www.foxtel.com.au/
Saturday at 1PM, Sunday at 2 and 8AM The Tomb of the Cybermen all 4 episodes
Monday at 11:30PM Revenge of the Cybermen episode 4 of 4
Tuesday through Friday at 11:30PM Earthshock episodes 1 through 4 of 4
More Who-Files fun on FOXTEL. Over the weekend, enjoy 'Tomb', the story that used to be the last recovered episode. From Hong Kong with love, in Black & White. Monday sees the conclusion of 'Revenge', the 4th Doctor Cybermen story that had the misfortune of being the oldest surviving Cybermen tale for a long time. As a result, it was over-played, over-hyped, and a genuinely good story is now often reviled for not being the pinnacle of Who achievement. Ah well. The rest of the week goes to the eerie tale Earthshock, where a hidden alien race wants to wreak havoc on 26th Century Earth just before an interplanetary conference convenes. Why do the aliens want to stop the conference? Can the 5th Doctor stop it? And will the TARDIS come through it all in one piece?
