- Since you are deliberately trying to provoke me,

 Well, I am ready to drop the hockey gloves and ready to throw punchs.
 I had anticipated your move in the first palce

- let me respond by providing
- a little background for those that haven't been around for more than the
- year that Dave has been posting this subject. Even he has forgotten the
- original premise.
-
- Many moons ago, Dave posted a request for others to write/phone the BBC and
- request the Dr. Who return to the air. Not only that, but demand that Sylvest
- and Ace return.

  At that time, I remind you that I was acting on my own accord!! If you want
the original premise, it is the fact that BBC is literally dragging its feet
concerning a decision regearding the show.  The dragging of feet has gotten me
for one irritated.  If they are that indecisive, they might as well sell it to
ITN of GB who might care for it more than they do.


-
- My point is to concentrate on getting the show back first, then worry about
- details such as who is Who. As we can see, nothing is happening in any case.
- Why Dave continues to post this subject every month leaves me with the answer
- of he desperate to generate some articles. Note that no one on the net makes
- any Dr. Who decisions, so what are you telling us for? Making pleas for
- letters and phone calls is one thing, but just telling us your opinion is
- another. Also, note that since your original premise of Syl is one of the
- favorite Doctors etc., is evidently no longer as true as you think according
- to the recent poll results just posted.
-

  Tom, either you are illiterate, or nothing is getting to helmet-protected
head.  The time DW is announced back on air is when they can confirm who the
next Doctor Who is going to be.  And by the way, regarding polls, something
whichc you supposedly don't believe in, post me ALL pols from the last year
stsaing how people feel about the return of Doctor Who.

  BTW, as for your suggestion of buying DW merchandise, though noble and
excellent an idea, if no new shows are generated soon, I forecast that Dw
merchandise sales could end up falling due to the facts that no DW is being
made.  And have you been reading all the posts lately?  It does show that
netters do want to give McCoy a chance as the Doctor!!


- Bring the show back. If that happens, hopefully the show will pick up where
- it left off for continuity's sake. If there is a Doctor 8 right away, big
- deal. Let's move on. Remember what the show is about.
-
  As argued before, once the show is there, it's there. You DON'T care for its
premature death!!

- Let me add one thing that Gene Roddenberry said about Star Trek: The hard-cor
- fans of the show are a VERY SMALL percentage of the viewers that watch the
- show. Thus the network cares very little about the show's fans. The same goes
- for Dr. Who. What you/I/we want is meaningless to the TV execs. The public
- only influences public TV (like PBS) and pay-per-view.

  Excuse me, but people on the Star Trek Nodes would laugh at the above!  Star
Trek was brought back BECAUSE of fan pressure.  If there was no fan pressure,
no ST:TNG.  So Tom, being a believer that movements ca do anything to which I
adhere to, I believe if fans are NOT apathetic, the BBC would have to yield
if they don't want mud tossed over there name!!

- Tune in next week to see the Doctor take on his enemies at the BBC as he
- flushes out the archives of earth in "Enema of the World"!
