Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEDT The Three Doctors all 4 eps
The Time Lords' home world is being drained of energy at an alarming rate by a force that is also sending assault gelatin troops to Earth. The Doctor is the only one who can be called upon to help, and they erased the parts of his memory about doing time travel and all that. Besides, the gelatin creatures are after him. The only way out - bring in an earlier version of the Doctor with memory intact to help out, contravening the first law of Time. Funny how the rules go out the window when the going gets a little difficult.
Mon-Tue 11:30PM AEDT Carnival Of Monsters eps 3 - 4 of 4
The 3rd Doctor needs to get out of the Scope to alert the people outside to the chaos going on within. Meanwhile, a political hack sees the troubles in the Scope as a means to take power.
Wed-Fri 11:30PM AEDT Frontier In Space eps 1 - 3 of 6
The Doctor's "traffic accident in space" lands him in the middle of an unconventional prelude to a war. Earth ships and Draconian ships are being attacked by aliens, and each sees the other as the attackers, even though the real villains are (spoiler). Naturally, no one believes anything the Doctor says about the matter.
