Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 13th August 1999:
UKTV
http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/ and http://www.uktv.com.au/
Sat 1PM, Sun 2 and 7AM Time and the Rani all 4 eps
Sat 3PM, Sun 4 and 9AM DOCTOR WHO 1996 movie
Mon 11:30PM Resistance Is Useless 1992 semi-documentary
Tue-Fri 11:30PM The War Games eps 1 - 4 of 10

Two stories on the weekend. The Rani kidnaps the 6th Doctor, accidentally triggering a regeneration. She then tries to use the 7th Doctor to repair a machine that could give her control over time itself. In the second story, Dr. Grace Holloway operates on the 7th Doctor, accidentally triggering a regeneration. She then tries to use the 8th Doctor to repair the emptiness of her failed engagement. On Monday, Resistance Is Useless, a quasi-documentary filled with surviving clips of lost episodes, airs instead of The Tenth Planet part 4, a lost episode. The rest of the week goes to The War Games, where a perfectly ordinary World War I slaughter ground may not be as innocent as it seems.
