Back in 1974, the BBC erased the six-episode "Doctor Who" adventure "The Power of the Daleks," and the 1966 tale — the first to feature Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor — hasn't been seen in half a century.
But it's back on Saturday at 9:25 p.m. on BBC America. The audio tracks survived, and hand-drawn animation re-creates the trip to the mysterious planet Vulcan. (Really.)
Also on Saturday, there are three local college football games, although one of them will be online only.
BYU hosts Massachusetts (noon, BYUtv); Utah hosts Oregon (noon, P12N).
And the Utah State-at-Nevada game is online — 2 p.m. on ESPN3.
