THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - Fri, 8 Oct 1999

By Benjamin F. Elliott

Pardon the spartan look of today's column. Writer's block and other obligations got in the way, so most of the US broadcasts do not have story descriptions. I'm leaning towards pasting in various TV guide descriptions of stories next week to let me catch up and recharge.

NHPTV New Hampshire makes the headlines again. First, they apparently ordered the 5 episode version of Planet of the Daleks (without the Black & White episode 3). Then they realized the mistake and, they thought, ordered the 6 episode version. Somehow it didn't work. Last week the Black & White episode didn't air, and episode 4 appeared, titled episode 3. It was unclear when / if NHPTV would have the real episode 3 to air. NHPTV ran the Black & White episode of Invasion of the Dinosaurs in 1996, so viewers can be fairly confident that that story will be complete.
