 '''THE END OF BSB'''
-On '''2 November 1990''', BSB was acquired by and merged with [[wikipedia:Sky UK|SKY]], to be re-branded as '''BSkyB'''. As a result, the ongoing schedule of further '''Doctor Who''' episodes was brought to an abrupt end on Saturday, '''1 December 1990''' when [[The Daleks]] part four was shown for its third re-cycle at 1.30pm. The remaining three episodes of [[The Daleks]] (planned to cycle three times each between 2 and 22 December) and another showing of [[The Edge of Destruction]] (planned to cycle on 23 and 30 December) were dropped.

 Also scheduled to screen were omnibus editions of [[The Space Museum]] for Monday, 24 December, [[The Mind Robber]] on Wednesday, 26 December, and [[The Dominators]] on Friday, 28 December, all in a 9.30am slot. These three stories had been shown during the September '''Doctor Who Weekend''', and the station still held repeat rights until the end of the year, however it's not clear if these did actually screen.
