Friday 30th March 2001:

Sun-Mon 6PM The Sun Makers eps 3 - 4 of 4
Only previous airing in 1987. Now back to episode format, one episode per day. To save Leela, the Doctor sets up the overthrow of the oppressive Usurian government. I'm a tad surprised any government with high taxation or that tries to shape the opinion of its citizens would let this story air. Obviously government officials in most countries do not watch Doctor Who.
Tue-Fri 6PM Underworld eps 1 - 4 of 4
Last rerun in 1987. The 4th Doctor and Leela join an expedition to find the race banks of the P7E, which contain the genetic material that can save the Minyan race. The Doctor has a bit of responsibility in this area - his ancestors' help inadvertently ruined this race in the first place.
