The Who-Files just keep on rolling and rolling. Over the weekend, relive Jon Pertwee's swan song as the 3rd Doctor. A monastery inadvertently brings giant spiders to Earth - spiders who are willing to kill to retrieve something the Doctor took from their world. Most of the weeknight episodes go to 'The Ark In Space', an early 4th Doctor story, where the Wirrn insects have decided to feast on the last survivors of humanity. On Friday, flip back to the very first season of the series. The TARDIS lands inside an Aztec tomb, and Barbara is mistaken for a god.
