If it's Australia, it must be the Who-Files. Over the weekend, the Doctor's regeneration into his 5th body suffers from complications, leaving him in no position to react when the Master sets off his traps. Early on the weekdays, the new 6th Doctor is slowly becoming less psychotic. Can he recover his senses soon enough to stop the plot of the giant gastropods? The week ends with the beginning of the 7th Doctor. Forced to crash and regenerate by the Rani, an amnesiac Doctor is tricked into helping the Rani repair her equipment.
