Friday 10th December 1999:
BBC Prime http://www.bbcprime.com/
Late Fri 1AM CET (Not Africa) City of Death ep 4 of 4
So this is why Season 17 is so reviled. When the Doctor and company head back in time to fight Scaroth, it's an AMERICAN who goes back with them, not a Brit. The truth is out.
Sat 5PM, Sun 11:30AM, Mon 11:35AM CET/CAT The Creature from the Pit ep 1 of 4
Romana makes the mistake of reconnecting the emergency distress call receiver to the TARDIS, which promptly drags them off to a backwater forest planet where an egg shell is begging for help. Stop laughing - it's a good story.
