Sun-Mon 6:25PM The Aztecs eps 3 - 4 of 4 (The Bride Of Sacrifice, The Day Of Darkness)
Never before seen on New Zealand TV!
An Aztec woman tries to woo the Doctor into marrying her. Tlotoxl tries to expose Barbara as a false goddess. The course of Western history hangs by a thread and the TARDIS crew have a knife.
Tue-Fri 6:25PM The Sensorites eps 1 - 4 of 6 (Strangers In Space, The Unwilling Warriors, Hidden Danger, A Race Against Death)
Never before seen in New Zealand! A human spaceship drifts in perpetual orbit around an unidentified planet. Two of the crew are perpetual narcoleptics, the other is insane. What happened? How can the Doctor resolve the situation? And why is there an alien race who all look disturbingly like a prominent Government professor at George Mason University?
