Late Sat 12:30AM EST The Deadly Assassin movie
The first Doctor Who story I ever taped, in the same format that I taped it in. Notable for having a scrolling introduction (before Star Wars came out) which the Doctor read. Only story without a regular companion for the Doctor. A dark, sinister tale, brimming with humor. Hard to beat, if you're enough of an insomniac to stick with this broadcast until 2AM.
