On 31 October 1988, stripped weekday transmissions of new episodes of "Doctor Who" recommenced, with the show now in the 5:30pm timeslot and broadcast under the umbrella of the children's magazine-style program "The Afternoon Show", starting with Sylvester McCoy's debut in "Time and the Rani" almost fourteen months after it first screened on BBC1. (This extended delay in broadcasting was repeated for "Doctor Who's" final two seasons as well). After Season 24 finished, as a gesture to fans in recognition of "Doctor Who's" 25th anniversary, the ABC also screened the first story of Season 25, "Remembrance of the Daleks", only a little more a month since its UK debut.
