Friday 15th September 2000:
BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com/
Weekdays 5AM EDT (2AM PDT) - 2 episodes edited together daily
Mon-Tue The Deadly Assassin eps 1 - 4 of 4
Gallifrey's most famous black sheep - The Doctor - finds that the only way to solve the assassination of the Lord President of the Time Lords is to run for the office himself. A surreal, startling epic that got the show knocked off the air for a month, pushed to a later timeslot, and the producer replaced a few months later.
Wed-Thu The Face of Evil eps 1 - 4 of 4
The 4th Doctor faces the consequences of his past when he arrives on the world of the Sevateem, the Tesh, and a cranky computer.
Fri The Sontaran Experiment both eps
A cynical ploy by BBC America to pad the schedule until the 8AM showing begins next week. It's an interesting story, the only 2 part Tom Baker story, and established the Sontarans as part of the official pantheon of returning monsters, but it's still a cynical ploy by BBC America to pad out this week. Enjoy it anyway.
