Fear. A powerful emotion. We kill out of fear, serve out of fear, die out of fear. It doesn't matter if there is a concrete basis for the fear or not. The 3rd Doctor's final battle is not so much against enormous spiders that plan galactic conquest as much as against his own fears and regrets.
Mon-Thu 11:30PM AEDT Robot eps 1 - 4 of 4
Introducing the adventures of Harry Sullivan, M.D. First up: a patient who claims to be a shape- changing alien. The patient recovers from a near-death experience very quickly, but his work seems to be sending him near the edge, causing Harry to stick around to keep the "alien" out of trouble.
Fri 11:30PM AEDT The Ark In Space ep 1 of 4
The TARDIS lands on a forgotten spacecraft where humanity sleeps away, waiting for the call to return to life.
