Sun 6:25PM The Time Meddler - Checkmate ep 4 of 4
Last televised in New Zealand in 1993. It seems that the Meddler is a young rascal from The Doctor's own race. His irresponsible games with history could change the nature of Britain.
Mon-Thu 6:25PM The Ark eps 1 - 4 of 4 (The Steel Sky, The Plague, The Return, The Bomb)
Last televised in New Zealand in 1969. In a distant future where Earth is about to die, humanity boards a space ship in search of a new planet to live on. They think they have the ultimate civilization. But an important part of their history has been forgotten. An accidental visit from The Doctor reveals a disastrous problem that will wipe the species out if not dealt with promptly. Naturally, the Doctor and company take the blame for the "discovery".
Fri 6:25PM The Gunfighters - A Holiday For The Doctor ep 1 of 4
Never before televised in New Zealand. To treat the Doctor's toothache, the TARDIS takes him to Tombstone, Arizona, where Doc Holliday the gunfighter (retired) has just set up a dental clinic. But some people will not let Mr. Holliday forget his past.
