business to the new character. But there was one instance where the character was played by a new actor--when the actress playing the part of Mrs. Banks on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" got fired, and a new actress was brought in to continue the role, Will Smith's buddy Jazz looked at her and said, "Mrs. Banks, you look *different* this morning!" I really don't think there would be any major changes to the Doctor Who timeline. I mean, the Fox series would, to them, just be that crazy thing the Americans did. Also, though, I believe your initial premise is inherantly flawed. There is NO WAY it would have lasted 5 years. Just no way. I think it may have gone a full season, maybe 2, 3 at the absolute most. But I really don't see it making 3 seasons. So yeah, I don't think Tom Baker's streak was ever in any danger of being broken by the "American" Doctor. Also, if you think David Tennant over stayed his welcome, watch out! Matt Smith has already stated that he intends to stay until the forcefully eject him off the lot with big, brawny security guards. So yeah, Baker's legacy might be in danger NOW, but at least from another Brit. And yes, I know Paul McGann is British. When I say American and Brit, I'm talking about productions, not necessarily the actors.
