Sun 7AM AEST The Claws of Axos all 4 eps
Modern-day version of the Trojan Horse story, with the Axons as the Greeks, Axonite as the Horse, Humanity as the Trojans, and the 3rd Doctor as Cassandra. Look for the use of the vidcophone around episode 2 or so, as technology everyone probably thought would be standard by the end of the 1970s.
Mon-Wed 11:30PM AEST Colony In Space eps 4 - 6 of 6
The Master plays the miners and the colonists against each other to buy time to search for the Doomsday Weapon. Jo offends the natives. The Master loses an old friend.
Thu-Fri 11:30PM AEST The Dæmons eps 1 - 2 of 5
Probably the colour-restored version, as UKTV aired the colour-restored versions of ...Silurians and Terror of the Autons. A White Witch campaigns against the opening of Devil's End hump. The Doctor agrees with her, for different reasons.
