The TARDIS is now boarding flight 74384338 🚀 Destination: Saturday, June 6 at 7pm for the Classic Doctor Who Marathon on KBTC! There will be two stops: 🪐 🇫🇷

In "Destiny of the Daleks," the Doctor and a newly regenerated Romana arrive on Skaro and find that the Daleks are using explosive charges and a group of humanoid slave workers to mine the planet in search of their creator, Davros. Then, in "City of Death," they visit Paris to take in the sights, but sense that someone is tampering with time...

On behalf of the Doctor and the entire KBTC crew, it is our pleasure to have you aboard! But remember, the broadcast of Classic Doctor Who on KBTC is made possible in part by the generous support of viewers like you. Thank you, and enjoy the flight!
