Late Sat Mid EST Planet of the Daleks movie
Picking up from the climax of Frontier In Space, which you didn't see last week, the 3rd Doctor and Jo hunt a Dalek army to the planet Spirodon, where experiments in invsibility could give the Daleks a key advantage in the next war. Based on the running time indicated on MPT's web site, it appears they (again) ordered the 1 hour, 45 minute movie version of this story. The movie version is missing an entire episode in the middle, cut out because it is in black & white. A number of color scenes are also cut to hide the missing episode. My advice - tape this version for comparison - the edit was masterfully done. Then, go to your local video store and buy Planet Of The Daleks on video so you can see what you missed. Now, if the broadcast runs 2 hours, 15-20 minutes and has a black & white section in the middle, then that would mean they figured it out and got the complete version in time.
