Fri 11:30PM AEST The Caves of Androzani ep 1 of 4
Over the weekend, its the final chapter of the 3rd Doctor. Giant spiders are furious at the Doctor for taking a special crystal from Metebelis 3, and they engage in a covert invasion of Earth to get the crystal back for their own nefarious purposes. The weekday episodes begin with Logopolis. An increasingly fatalistic 4th Doctor decides to measure the TARDIS and fix the Chameleon Circuit. His efforts are interrupted by a Bubble TARDIS, an air stewardess, and a being in White who seems to exist beyond time. Before the day is over, the universe will be destroyed - if it's lucky. On Friday, Caves Of Androzani begins. The 5th Doctor and Peri land on a planet famous for its deadly mud blasts. It's also famous for gun-smuggling, and the Doctor winds up on the wrong side of the law very quickly.
