UKTV Australia http://www.varos.com/drwho/uktv/
Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEDT The Brain of Morbius all 4 eps
The Doctor and Sarah uncover a plot to build a new body for an old Time Lord who wants to threaten the galaxy again. Can Professor Solon be stopped from his dangerous plan, or will the Doctor be distracted by a Sisterhood lighting up his life - and his body?
Mon-Tue 11:30PM AEDT The Hand Of Fear eps 3 - 4 of 4
The Doctor offers to return Eldrad to her/his home planet if she/he will stop causing trouble on Earth. But neither the Doctor nor Eldrad are prepared for what will happen on the planet Kastria. And no, Phil, they don't find a fruit basket.
Wed-Fri 11:30PM AEDT The Deadly Assassin eps 1 - 3 of 4
The episodes that got Doctor Who discussed in the House Of Commons. The Doctor is lured to Gallifrey, where he is framed for a bizarre murder. To save his own skin, he must find the real killer, and stop an effort to destroy the entire planet. A surreal, scary, and violent Doctor Who story. And a rather useless effort to end this description with a bit of humour.
