I was wondering if you have gotten this official yet with the BBC. I know 
they have some regulations on fanzines, which I will have to look into... I 
don't know what, though. I'm working on a Fanzine as well, going to be out 
next month called FELLOW TRAVELLERS. About 50 pages, and mostly stories 
though there is a quote quiz and a Time Lord Character... for the new RPG.

They actually don't contradict.  Once time travel is allowed the
limit is the start of the universe.  THus, all such material would
go to that point and explode (even though only one such event is
required).  That sets the limit and "then" the rest of the
explosions show up at the same "time".

   What are the new jobs they have?  JNT recently signed a new six-month
contract with BBC Enterprises to produce even more specials and he shows
no signs of getting a real job.  
   The last series I heard Cartmel was working on was Casualty, but that
was a while back and he has long since left it.  As far as I was aware the
only thing he was doing recently was the DWM comic strips.

From what I have seen so far, CBS/Fox are simply converting the BBC Video
issues from the UK to a Master original in NTSC format and then making
tapes from that.  CBS/Fox do not have the capability to re-release the
old releases in any other form than what BBC Video do back in the UK,
so before the shows are reissued in episode format in this country,
they will have to be reissued in that same format in the UK.

 Could someone inform me about the colour 525 line stories of Terror of
the Autons and The Daemons? I presume the ones that were at Who Party 10
were _real_ colour episodes, and not colourised episodes.
 Is it true that DW & the Silurians and another story also exist in 525
line (NSCT ?) format? Anymore?

Thanks!

It was shown in the movie format. I cought it on tape (as I was at the CSN
concert). Sylvester McCoy was in the studio. The showed 'Time and the Rani'
before and 'Ghostlight' afterward. Unfortunately my VCR started late as I
didn't get the whole movie. But I DID get ALL of the pledge breaks. One very
distressing fact came out and that is KERA is moving DW to Sunday afternoons at
1pm. I am rather unhappy about this and plan on letting the station know about
it. Seems the feel like they will get a larger audience. I rather doubt it!

One interesting twist to this pledge drive. A 275.00 pledge (credit card only)
would get you and a friend the opportunity to have brunch with Sylvester McCoy.
Ok netters would it be worth it?

Dr. Who will be airing in one episode in a one hour time slot.  The first 
10-15 minutes is supposed to have interviews/behind-the-scenes info and the 
last 10-15 minutes will be convention reports and possibly club information.

	Just got the new issue of the Prydonian Renegade, the newsletter of
the Prydonians of Prynceton and they include a schedule for the Sci-Fi
Channel. It's actually different from what everyone was saying. They will
actually show 2 unedited episodes in a hour long block. Monday through
Friday they'll run two episodes at noon, with the episodes being repeated at
midnight. On Saturday they'll run two episodes at noon with no repeat. No
episodes will show on Sunday.

When I first saw the "evil" Baker (forgive me Laurie I'm only kidding) I
didn't like him.  I have come to the conclusion that this was because his
character was not the 'lovable' type doctor I had come to expect.  I think
it was the nasty way he sometimes treated his companions.  Other Doctors
showed their 'superiority' but not in the same NASTY arrogant manner.  
(To answer disputes before the arise - I think Hartnell's Doctor was gruff 
but still lovable.)  Collin's Doctor has 'grown' on me, it's still far from 
my favorite, but I enjoy watching it.

I wish they would step up the releases on laserdisc.  One LD so far --
"Day of the Daleks".  Of course, after "Claws of Axos" is out in the US,
"Day of the Daleks" will have competition for worst story in US release.

As usual, CBS Fox has missed the point entirely.  It's not like there is
a book to fall back on for this one.  Perhaps someone will be smart
enough to release the script as a separate item in the US.

Surprise!  Instead of the programming originally scheduled for
the Dr. Who Marathon, we had a treat.  Sylvester McCoy appeared in
the Dallas studios of KERA 13 on Saturday, August 15th, and worked the
pledge breaks from 7PM until 11:30. 

Offering an opportunity to brunch with him the next morning ($275 for two),
A personal call-back and talk to you (if time allowed at $120 level), the
limited edition Sylvester McCoy T-shirt, and several other gifts were offered.
He was great, but sadly, the pledging was lackluster.  I think they exceeded
their evening goal but not by much.  There was no advance advertising for
Sylvesters visit, or for the fact that "Tomb" was or, or that the shows
would start three hours earlier than normal.

Sylvester indicated he would be in town for another day or so, and then would
be moving on.  He also indicated that after this trip he would be returning
to start rehersals for a play he is going to be in.  This is the ONLY time
I intentionally taped the pledge breaks, so I will transcribe the stories
he gave shortly.  Seems he crashed the motorcycle in Delta and the Bannerman,
taking a vehicle-mount camera with it.  He also indicated that "Mel" had
been auditioned on a rollercoaster and got the job because she screamed
the loudest.

However, noting that some of the showings of "Tomb" around the country seem
to be scattered at two and three day intervals, perhaps some other "surprise"
visits may be in store in other areas.

Note that KERA abandoned the original programming line-up for this evening,
and showed Time and the Rani (7D), Tomb of the Cybermen (MM), Ghostlight (7Q),
and Resistance of Useless twice (back to back).  The latter is a 27 minute
program.

Sadly, KERA announced during breaks (proudly I might add) that they are
pulling Dr. Who from its 8-year old time slot on Saturday at 10 or 10:30.
Starting in October it will be on Sunday at 13:00.  Replacing it on Saturday
will be The adventures of Robin Hood.

The Sunday timeslot is dreadful in the fall because it will be against many
Dallas Cowboy football games that receive very good ratings normally.
Our very own Coronation Street, if you will.

	Well if and when the show does come back, I think we can now
rule out Sylvester appearing regularly. He is now officially a 'former'
Doctor Who. I just hope they bring him back so that we can see a proper
regeneration. This being the case I think it is unlikely that Sophie
would be the companion either.
	Does it really matter if it is not them who come back. I mean,
Tom Baker was my favourite Doctor, but I really enjoyed the Peter
Davison episodes anyway. Also, there is no two Doctors a decade
tradition. William Hartnell did 3 and a half years; Patrick Troughton
did 2 and a half; John Pertwee 5 years; Tom Baker 7 years; Peter Davison
3 years; Colin Baker 2 years; Sylvester McCoy 3 years.
