Friday 23rd February 2001:
Prime TV New Zealand http://www.tetrap.com/drwho/nzdwfc/

Sun-Fri 6PM 2 episodes edited into movie format daily
Sun Planet of Evil movie, pt 2 of 2

Last rerun in 1987. The Morestrans try to leave the anti-matter world. Unknown to them, someone has snuck anti-matter on board. And the planet will not let anyone leave with anti- matter, not even if they're dead. Certainly not if they're alive.
Mon-Tue Pyramids of Mars movie, pts 1 - 2 of 2
Last rerun in 1987. The Doctor and Sarah try to return to U*N*I*T, but instead find themselves a few decades early, when Mummy was alive. Er, mummies. Robot mummies.
Wed-Thu The Android Invasion movie, pts 1 - 2 of 2
Last rerun in 1987. Before Star Trek: Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Earth: Final Conflict and similar shows had their characters find themselves in faked realities, the Doctor and Sarah came across a disturbing facsimile of an English village. Why would someone go to all the trouble of copying rural England. Maybe it's due to the space station out there, with the U*N*I*T presence.
Fri The Brain of Morbius movie, pt 1 of 2
Last rerun in 1987. See UKTV Australia for details.
