+This synopsis is not for [[Meglos]], but that for the July / August 1985 Radio 4 serial '''"[[Slipback]]"''', that starred both Colin Baker and Nicola. This "slip" (!) appears to have occurred because the radio serial was being aired on the BBC's World Service radio programme and heard in [[Singapore]] and Malaysia from '''13 January to 26 February 1986'''; the paper had put the radio-play's synopsis in the TV column by mistake. (See our [[Slipback]] page for more on this.)
 As noted above, some of the listings give the wrong episode number: '''22 May 1987''' carries a fifth listing for [[Robot]]; this might have instead been [[The Sontaran Experiment]] part one. The ''Malay Mail'' only carried two titles for the 1987 run.
