Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 16th March 2001:
Prime TV New Zealand http://www.tetrap.com/drwho/nzdwfc/
http://www.primetv.co.nz/
Sun-Fri 6PM 2 eps in movie format daily
Sun-Mon The Robots of Death movie, pts 1 - 2 of 2
Last rerun in 1987. On a sandminer with more robots than humans, people are starting to die. The Doctor and Leela are fingered as obvious suspects. But Poul suspects the case is not that neat. It is messier than he believes.
Tue-Thu The Talons of Weng-Chiang movie, pts 1 - 3 of 3
Last rerun in 1987. See UKTV Australia for details.
Fri Horror of Fang Rock movie, pt 1 of 2
Only previous NZ airing in 1987. Prime TV moves ahead of UKTV Australia with this story. Death and betrayal stalk the people trapped at a lighthouse on a cold, foggy night. A killer is at loose, and the Doctor is fairly certain it is not human. But the killer may not have to do anything, if these wretched humans keep on being paranoid and endangering each other.
