Sat 1PM, Sun 2+8AM AEDT The Five Doctors 4 part version (#1 Doctor Who story)
This was a puzzling choice. Why didn't UKTV get the original 90 minute version of the story? Certainly during the Who-Files they often ran the 45 minute C. Baker episodes and the uncut Telemovie. But for some reason they decided to spread The Five Doctors out over 4 nights, and the version they air on the weeknights is the version they air on the weekends. This is the last Doctor Who broadcast on UKTV for the year. Look for it again when Sapphire and Steel finishes its run in a couple of months.
