Sun-Tue 6:30PM Spearhead From Space eps 2 - 4 of 4
Last rerun in 1991. The Brigadier offers the 3rd Doctor a job as scientific advisor, but has no intention of letting the Doctor have the key to the TARDIS back. In other news, General Scorby's plastic replica is completed.
Wed-Fri 6:30PM Doctor Who And The Silurians eps 1 - 3 of 7
Last rerun in 1991. Never before seen in colour in New Zealand. The Doctor and Liz join the Brigadier on the site of an experimental underground nuclear power plant. Seems that something is alive in the caves that the plant was built into. The something or somethings are millions of years old.
