Sun-Thu 6:30PM The Ambassadors of Death eps 3 - 7 of 7
Last rerun in New Zealand in 1991. The Ambassadors are kidnapped as part of an elaborate plan that runs to the heart of the British government. Someone high up has plans for them, and will kill anyone who tries to discover the truth. Benton, the corporal introduced in The Invasion (never screened in New Zealand - 2 episodes are missing), joins the cast in this story as a Sargent.
Fri 6:30PM Inferno ep 1 of 7
Last rerun in New Zealand in 1991/1992. The 3rd Doctor has been experimenting with the leftover power output from a drilling site to try to get the TARDIS console to work again. Strange things are happening, though the Doctor does not care. Not until they cause a power fluctuation that makes the TARDIS tests go badly wrong.
