Trailer - The Prague Spring
05/30/24 • 2 min
August 1968. Czechoslovakia is enjoying a period of political liberalisation. Alexander Dubček is trying to secure his country greater liberties, but it will come at a cost. When the TARDIS brings the Doctor and Kim-Ly to Prague, this freedom is nearly at an end, and the travellers are able to see life on the cusp of the Soviet invasion.
Married couple Ludvik and Jozka want to play music and raise their daughter, but the threat of conflict is forcing them to decide how far they will go to keep their family safe. Hapless diplomat Alistair wants to make a difference, but his boss, Valentine, refuses to intervene, and he’s worried that the woman he loves is getting involved in dangerous matters.
But it isn’t only the advance of the Red Army that they have to worry about: the alien Koe-Maw are also visiting Prague, and the Doctor wonders whether their promise of salvation is all it seems. As a dark day approaches, can the Doctor and Kim-Ly keep the Czech people from making a cataclysmic mistake that would change the fate of not only the Prague Spring, but of the entire world?

Doctor Who: Flight of the Madrigal part three
A distress call brings the TARDIS to the colony ship Madrigal on an important mission: transporting some of the first human colonists to their new home on Edevane’s World. But when the ship is hijacked and gets caught in a tractor beam, the computer’s AI, MAYDEN, calls on the Doctor for help.
Traveling down to the frozen planet Epiquilius, he meets the Zenbeyga, a race of creatures reminiscent of armored wombats. What could they want with the human ship and why do they want to leave the planet so urgently? And as the colonists start to wake from their cryogenic slumber, tensions flare as both sides do what they must to survive.
As the planet shakes, the Doctor soon realises there is something far worse to worry about. Something underground is stirring. And if it breaks free, it will devour the universe.
