(The Pertwee stories screen twice, some possibly even for a third time?)
  • c. September 1978: Once the (third?) run of Jon Pertwee serials concludes, the Tom Baker stories commence. (By 1979, the series airs weeknights at 6:00pm.)
  • 8 January 1980: Two complete repeat runs of the Tom Baker stories begin. The episodes are shown out of order.
  • 22 May 1980: The series takes the summer off.
  • 29 November 1982: The Tom Baker stories begin again, this time in the proper order.

  • 23 November 1983: The Invisible Enemy 2 airs in its normal rotation. The Five Doctors doesn't air until 4 December 1985.
  • 10 January 1984: The weekday slot moves back to 6:00pm.

  • 27 June and 4 July 1987: The War Games screens, split into two "movies".

During pledge breaks, viewers are asked to vote for which introductory 'first story' they wanted to see the following week - the choices were Spearhead from Space, Robot or Castrovalva; it wasn't announced in advance which story had won, so viewers only found out the winner was Robot when they tuned in on 29 August.
