Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEDT The Dead Planet all 7 eps (The Dead Planet, The Survivors, The Escape, The Ambush, The Expedition, The Ordeal, The Rescue)
On a planet ravaged by radiation, two species try to eke out a life for themselves. One group are "perfect" beings (who happen to look British with a twinge of Scandanavian). The other group have withered away and must live in pepper pots. Perhaps the biggest British pop culture icon after the Beatles is born in this story. The cliffhanger at the end of episode 7 appears to not be included in this version.
Mon 11:30PM AEDT The Edge Of Destruction - The Brink Of Disaster ep 2 of 2
Since the TARDIS crew seem incapable of figuring out what's going on themselves, the TARDIS decides to clarify matters.
Tue-Fri 11:30PM AEDT The Keys of Marinus eps 1 - 4 of 6 (The Sea Of Death, The Velvet Web, The Screaming Jungle, The Snows Of Terror)
The 1st Doctor is blackmailed into leading a search for 4 keys that will enable Arbitan to operate a mind-control machine. He promises to use the machine for good, and not evil. SURE he does.
