 1. TARDIS CONSOLE ROOM.
(JAMIE looks around him. The central column rises and falls.)
JAMIE: What's this?
DOCTOR: You'll find out. (The DOCTOR operates the controls.)
JAMIE: Ah, I don't think I want to.
BEN: It's a machine, my old haggis, it's taken you away from
Scotland forever.
JAMIE: Where to?
BEN: Ah, well, that as the Doctor would say, that is in the lap
of the gods. You never know.
JAMIE: Ah, you'd not be leading me on now, would you? It's a
fact, you don't know where we're going?
POLLY: Quite true, and what's more we don't even know what year
it will be either.
JAMIE: Och, now, I don't believe it.
DOCTOR: Nae man can tether time nor tide - Robert Burns.
JAMIE: Hey? Who's Robert Burns?
DOCTOR: Oh, I should have remembered.
POLLY: What?
DOCTOR: Well to Jamie, its 1746. Robert Burns wasn't born until
1759.
BEN: It's all complicated, isn't it?
JAMIE: What's happening now?
DOCTOR: We're just begining to land. Hold tight, everyone.
JAMIE: Land?
POLLY: Don't be scared, Jamie, it's alright, really.
BEN: I get a sort of queer feeling. See, we never know what we're
going to find, do we?
DOCTOR: Ah that's the fun. Stand by, here we go.
POLLY: Please let it be Chelsea 1966.
BEN: Hope it's the Daleks, I don't think.
DOCTOR: Prehistoric monsters....
JAMIE: What have I come upon? (The Tardis lands.) That wasn't too
bad. Lets go outside, Doctor.
BEN: Yeah, Come on, Jamie, you and me first. You never know, you
know.
JAMIE: What?
BEN: We don't know what could be waiting for us out there, do we?
Come on, Doctor, open up.
DOCTOR: Yes, I don't see why not. It looks alright to me. (The
doors open.) Wait! (The others stop in their tracks.) ...For me.

Regarding Blake's 7 on Radio 4
    540-1640kHZ in the U.S. Different countries have different
    frequency allocations. TV frequencies are different, also.
    The UK, I believe, has only 4 (or 6) radio stations. All
    run by the government. There is a similar small number of
    TV stations.

All on the BBC (except Earth FC which I undestand is coming later in the
year)
And unless you REALLY WANT UK Gold, everything else is in the CTV
package from 1 West/5 East, cards about 20 quid. (Including BBC Prime
which also does Dr Who and most of what UK Gold have except the foreign
stuff).
And before we get moderated, it might be an idea to shift this to
SATTELITE if you want more on how to get the other channels.

assistant: Quoting Rodney Foremski to John F Davis:
Apologies to the Mod for straying on this point, but I felt I HAD to
correct this misinformation before it got out of hand.
The UK has over a hundred radio stations, none of which are run by the
government. Eight of those are national: BBC Radio 1 (pop music); BBC R2
(light music/entertainment); BBC R3 (Classical music); BBC R4 (news,
drama, features); BBC R5 (news and sport); Classic FM (popular classical
music); Talk Radio (mainly phone-ins - god, it's awful!); and Virgin
(rock music). The last three are commercial. Most parts of the country
are coveerred by at least one each BBC and commercial local or regional
station, with a number of "special interest" stations (foreign language or
specific music type).
There are five national TV stations in the UK, two BBC and three
commercial. Both BBC and one of the commercial networks carry regional
opt-outs at various times of the day.
In addition to the above there are numerous TV and radio services
delivered by satellite, both free and subscription, and many cable
networks have their own programme facilities.
That's roughly the state of broadcasting in the UK, and before I get
moderated, I shall not mention it again!

  Thanks for the assist Steve!  It's a great help!  If I'm correct,
that was the last complete story scripted before my "accident" and I'm
sure there are more since I posted that one that have become completed.
  Just out of curiosity, would archiving these in RAR help you any? I
just obtained a copy of the RAR archiver with some ZIP download and am
willing to archive in that format if it'll help any.

assistant: THE WEB OF FEAR
                        Season 5 - 6 episodes
  The Web of Fear, a 6-part story starring Patrick Troughton as the
Doctor, was first broadcast in 1968. Only part one of the original story
still survives on video, but the script of the entire story can now be
read on these pages.
  The story is a sequel to a previous adventure, 'The Abominable
Snowmen'(1967). In the earlier story, a non-physical entity called the
Great Intelligence used robotic Yeti slaves to take over a monastery in
Tibet. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria, helped by an explorer named
Travers, defeated the Intelligence by shattering a giant glass pyramid,
its physical link with Earth.
  Travers brought a number of relics back from his Tibetan journey,
including a (now lifeless) Yeti and a control sphere, a small metallic
sphere from a cavity in the creature's chest, which the Intelligence
used to control it. His interest in the workings of the Yeti's sphere
led him to become an expert in robotics, and 40 years later, a much
older Travers, now a Professor, manages to reactivate the control
sphere. Unfortunately, the sphere promptly disappears as the
Intelligence is awakened, and the way is clear for a second invasion of
Earth, this time centered on London...
  (The opening scene of episode 1 is a follow-up to the previous story,
'The Enemy of the World', which [SPOILERS!] ended with the villain,
Salamander, operating the TARDIS with the doors open and being sucked
out into the void. Patrick Troughton's dual role in this story, playing
the Doctor and Salamander, also led to him being given a week's holiday
during episode 2 of 'Web', hence the Doctor's absence during this
episode.)
