That's the odd part about it. Last time around on WTTW (Chicago), THE FIVE
DOCTORS *would have* fallen into the ongoing subscription drive, but they
waited until they had shown all the rest of the Davison features to show
THE FIVE DOCTORS, putting it on more than a month later. (During subscription
drives, WTTW shows five full stories in a week, running Sunday through
Thursday, instead of just the usual one on Sunday night. So they do do
something to bolster viewership during those weeks.)
