Seen any good movies lately?

Yes, the Tom Baker stuff was always four episodes per story and each episode was about 20 minutes. I recall it being the same with Jon Pertwee, but yes, they may have not standardized the story length earlier, I don't remember. I really was quite young then! However, looking back at things now, the highlight of kids' BBC TV back then was the last five-minute show before the serious stuff began with the evening news. It wasn't sci-fi but was definitely fantasy. There was the Magic Roundabout which was about drugs (we didn't know it at the time) and Captain Pugwash which was all about sex and some seriously disturbing stuff that would never be shown these days.
