- 15 October 1999: All six parts of Invasion of the Dinosaurs air (with the first three episodes at 9pm, followed by Sportstalk at 10.30pm, with the final three at 11pm) as part of a "Dino Nite" special. The published listings stated that the episodes featured "previously unseen footage", which presumably means the early edit of part 3 that the BBC held was used.
The channel closed on 8 February 2003. It was succeeded by BBC Three (which later became the home to repeats of New Series Doctor Who, Doctor Who Confidential, and Torchwood).
