BBC America runs it. Check your cable lineup.

We used to catch the Tom Baker Dr. Who when I was a kid. The problem was that they were on PBS and they ran them daily in the 1/2 episodes. Eventually, they switched to a format where they combined 4 episodes together to make a mini movie. This added up to something like 6 per season and it worked a lot better. It did generally make the intermediate cliff hangers a bit cheesy.

6th Column would make more sense today!
