Over the weekend, it's the final 7th Doctor story, the story that accidentally predicted the show's long suspension from active duty. The weekday episodes are from the top 10 Doctor Who stories as chosen by UKTV viewers. Unfortunately, UKTV has not yet lived up to its promise of saying what the top 10 stories would be in advance, so for the moment, no one knows what serial will air until the opening credits of episode 1 air.
