Sun 7AM, Late Sun 1AM AEST The Robots of Death all 4 eps
The Doctor and Leela are the prime suspects when a series of murders occur on a sandminer. Every victim has a red disk on their wrist.
Mon-Tue 11:30PM AEST Image of the Fendahl eps 3 - 4 of 4
A Time Lord secret can provide the Doctor the knowledge he needs to defeat the Fendahl. Thea Ransome embraces her destiny, much to the regret of the other scientists.
Wed-Thu 11:30PM AEST The Sun Makers eps 1 - 2 of 4
Ironic. It's tax time in the US, but this story is airing in Australia. The 4th Doctor, Leela, and K9 take on a corrupt government that taxes its citizens to death. But are these humans really worth saving? They're creeps and wimps if you ask me. Could almost be considered a backdoor pilot for Blake's 7, as the sets are reused in several Blake episodes, and Cordo is suspiciously similar to Vila.
No Friday episode.
