Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks; BBC America. 7:25 pm CST.
BBC America put up the coin to animate some of the legendary "lost episodes" (episodes that aired, but were never saved) using existing audio recordings (usually from fans who wired an audio recorder to their 1960's televisions) and stills from the time.
Power of the Daleks is notable for having the first "renewal" (later known as regeneration) when Second Doctor came from the First.
