FOXTEL's Who-Files air more selected goodbye stories from the series. Over the weekend, the 4th Doctor, Romana, K9, and Adric find their way to a gateway that can return them to normal space. First, they have a slave ship and a collapsing reality to deal with. On Monday, the Cyberleader orders Tegan's death if the 5th Doctor does not do exactly what the Cybermen want - watch helplessly as Earth is destroyed. Around the mid-week, the Daleks locate their forgotten creator - Davros - in the hopes that he can find a cure for a fatal disease. Unknown to them, someone is planning to betray them. The week ends with the second portion of the 6th Doctor's trial, where the Valeyard replays the adventure where the Doctor's erratic behaviour forced the Time Lords to take him out of time.
