I often fail to see that channel having the subject title it does for the channel, just like the Sci-Fi channel really. But certainly a very decent lineup of stories and good to see that Attack Of The Cybermen is in that lineup as I always felt it was a decent story suffering from visual effects limitations at the time than anything like the storyline.

Thanks for the reminder yes there was a thread a few weeks ago, but its nice for an update.

They haven't chosen Genesis Of The Daleks for the Fourth Doctor??? Surely some mistake!!

Its nice to have a different tom baker televised for a change. It always seems to be genesis. When was the last time brain was televised? A real treat for those without the dvd.

Genesis has been announced as part of the Season (30 stories in all), just not for the first weekend.

Given it's the Horror channel a story based on Frankenstein seems a logical choice for the opening weekend.

Good point

Do you have a complete list of the stories that will be shown on Horror?

Yep.

Expecting Pyramids, Seeds of Doom, Robots of Death, Talons, or in other words...all of the Hinchcliffe era. ;-)

So wait, are they only showing the first part of each story?

A few years ago when there was a batch of stories shown on UK Drama IIRC.

Oh nice I prefer that it makes the story flow better.

I thought there had been a full list posted somewhere but a quick search only brings up variations of the article you linked to which just gives a few titles so I guess I remembered incorrectly.

The Daemons will be broadcasted on April 29th according to this

They have chosen my favourite Fouth Doctor story though, Brain of Morbius with the great Philip Madoc.

I shan't give too much away, if there are people out there, who haven't seen this, but Sarah Jane Smith is temporarily blinded. Good bit of acting from Lis there, trying to play a blind person.

It's only a trailer for the story, as there isn't a proper clip. The bit with Sarah blind, is not that long. But, I will say this though, ''Blink, and you'll miss it.''

Got my freesat running for the first time in months since a mishap.

There's certain stories I love to watch.... Brain of morbius (ever since night of the doctor.) is one, as is caves of avandroze (i know I've misspelled it.

), attack of the cybermen, and daemons....

Annoyed the tv movie won't be part of it. But, hey-ho.....

Fairyprincess0 · 09/04/14 - 08:58

I can't be the only one who wishes they were showing enemy of the world, instead of seeds of death?......

It may be on later.

On the other hand, since the DVD was released only recently, perhaps not.

At 7pm tonight we can add the first Doctor Who from the Horror channel to our PVRs (Sky+/freeview+/freesat+/Virgin TiVo ect) and series link them!

I've already done that on my Virgin Media Tivo box several days ago, no need to wait until tonight.
