-*The station also aired the Paul McGann [[TV Movie]] several times – with its first showing apparently edited into three half hours over three nights '''12-14 August 1998''' at 11.30pm. It then aired the next night, '''15 August''' (at 2.30pm) and twice on '''16 August''' (3.30am and 9.30am) but this time in a 90 minute slot. The 90 minute film was shown again another nine or ten times by the ABC between '''1999''' and '''2003'''.

 **Since the "3 part" version was only ever listed once, it's possible this was a misprint, and the film actually aired on three consecutive nights unaltered, just as it did the two days following, and all subsequent showings.
 **As noted above, the ABC also aired the [[TV Movie]] in 1997 and 1998 (the latter screening being '''25 November 1998''' to celebrate the series' 35th anniversary).

 *Season 15 was then followed by yet another run of the Peter Davison episodes, but starting with {{6A}} (his first four stories having previously re-run back in May 1988), and once again running right through to {{6R}} (still the heavily-censored version), but again skipping {{6K}}.
 *During February 1994, there were a number of disruptions and pre-emptions due to sporting events. Episodes generally aired at 4.35am.

(Back to back episodes aired complete, without titles being removed.) The first episode started at 4.10am, and the following at 4.35am. (A sample billing for the double-up of different stories on 17 February 1994 is shown above.)

 *After a year-long break, starting from Monday, '''8 March 1993''', the next run of repeats was scheduled, now at the very early hour of '''4.00am, 4.30am or 4.35am (!)''', Monday to Friday. The run opened with Peter Davison's first season (with parts three and four of {{5Y}} accidentally playing in reverse order on '''22 and 23 March 1993'''), then right through (but with {{6K}} skipped) to Colin Baker's first season, ending with {{6Z}}. The episodes then jumped right back to the beginning of Tom Baker's era, but the often-repeated {{4A}} and {{4B}} were omitted during this re-run, while a very much out of order {{4D}} aired after {{4Z}}!
-*Mid-way through {{4Z}}, on Monday, '''22 November 1993''' to Thursday, '''25 November 1993''', at 6.00pm, the first-ever serial, {{A}}, was aired to celebrate the series' '''30th Anniversary'''. Prior to the screening, the preceding programme, TVTV, ran a segment on both {{A}} and the series in general, with clips from the first serial followed by a montage of clips for each Doctor. A "fact sheet" noting that "Steven Spielberg" was looking at remaking the show.
