Sat 11PM PDT The Androids of Tara all 4 eps (Sun)
Everyone but the TARDIS gets a chance to flex their acting muscles in this fun story. Take a basic plot - evil uncle tries to keep rightful ruler from becoming king. Add androids and a backwards attitude towards technology. Give it a pinch of good dialogue and great casting. Stir for 4 episodes until done.
