The Who-Files continue, and it's less than 2 weeks until UKTV viewers' top 10 stories begin to air. Over the weekend, Tom Baker finishes his run as the 4th Doctor in one final battle against the Master to stop the universe from destruction. For the first part of the weekday stories, the 5thDoctor's goals are somewhat smaller. Just find an antidote for Peri and get out alive while all the other sides are fighting over natural resources. As the week ends, a surprise guest interrupts the 6th Doctor's trial with new evidence that could save the Doctor's lives. Tony Selby returns as Sabalom Glitz.
