Exactly the same thing happened to me. I was just sitting there to pass the
time (I don't normally watch it) and then suddenly be eyes registered a 
rectangular blue shape on the screen. 0.02 seconds later I was staring
avidly as they announced they were going to talk about it.
The moment the bloke said 'But first this...' I was out of the room
and running around looking for an unoccupied phone. Seconds later I dug
out some cash I bawled down the receiver 'Mum videotape Tomorrow's World
Now' before sprinting back to spend 10 minutes watching an article
about bridge-building. Had I missed it?

It was rather exciting to watch the article (though the could have used
a more interesting clip), just wondering whether they were going to
mention Ian Levine by name or not. I wouldn't say the clip was better
than other colour Pertwees - it was just slightly better than an
American 525 recording (or a BBC video, come to that).
>5)It will be nice to compare the cliffhangers of Ep3-4 and 4-5 to see exactly

I should expect that they would've used the original colour material
wherever possible, so for the cliffhangers they'd just take it straight
from Ep4. However, that said, maybe they won't if it makes the
picture quality jump, and when they showed the trailer for it at
Panopticon it looked as though they'd colourized the title sequences
as well.
It's good to see the BBC actually plugging Doctor Who for a change, but
one can't help feeling that they're just trying to avoid anyone
phoning in to complain about the picutre quality...

That would best explain the facts.  I don't like it, though, due to the
end of Wargames (where Jamie and Zoe leave and he gets regenerated).  He
watches on the screen as his companions return to their own time; the
Time Lords then immediately start showing possible faces to him on the
screen, he turns them all down, and they begin his regeneration process
anyway.  This all happens without a scene change, or any indication that
any time has passed.  If he left the room, or they said that they would
give the verdict the next day, or they said he was getting a "last
request", so to speak, or anything of the sort, then I would just assume
this to be the case.  As it is, though, I don't buy it.  I think the
author (is this one of Terrance Dicks'?) could have come up with plenty
of ways for the Second Doctor to "see through" a trap without doing it
this way.

I agree with you on the second point; whether sent or travelling under his
own power, why didn't the Doctor go back to the Brig closer in time to
when he had seen him?

Steve/used to be "used to be Iain" had an even stranger way of resolving
this; I posted a reply to him separately (I may have accidentally mailed
it, in which case, Steve, feel free to answer by posting.)

Dale, I do thank you for the update.  I was told of the move by YTV to cancel
DW from its programming last year.  This update is half good news.

All I can say now is that we should all work to convince YTV to keep Who on the
air and put it on a time slot between 4:00 to 8:00.

  I feel compelled to post a positive review of Colin BAker's work as a certain

Time Lord, basically I find myself in the minority, and that the majority (Or
at least what I perceive to be the majority...) tends to be rather vocal in 
its bashing of the "Multicoloured Man of Action" incarnation of the Doc.
   Probably the prime reason I enjoyed Colin's stint was his theatrical demeanor.
Colin Baker's Doctor had a wonderful sense of the grandiose and this was a
refreshing change from Davison's low-key interpretation of the role.  I also
felt that, although I liked Davison, he was too cozy as the Doctor.  Colin 
reminds us that the Doctor is, after all, alien, and that we may not always
agree with his diagnosis of a situation because his perspective is different.  
This is especially evident as he tries to reassure Peri that the Earth she
returns to will be the same one she left (I won't go into more detail about this
because I didn't include a spoilers warning.
   This sense of the Doctor's Alien-ness was something I didn't feel in any of 
the stories after Pyramids of Mars (Primarily due to the "I walk in eternity"
bit..)  The Doctor is an alien, and shouldn't be bound by a particular code that
happens to be specific to the time period of the writers.  The Doctor's alienness
was shown most fully in the Hartnell years, usually manifesting itself as 
irascibility.

 I remember hearing that the bit about language was a function of the 
Tardis. The Tardis would telepathically give the people inside it the 
ability to speak the predominate language of the area they landed in. This 
is why the Doctor's human friends never had any problems with languages.

Just a thought....... Towards the end of "Axos" when the master and the doctor
 D
are in the Tardis together (the doctors) we see a section of Tardis wall outside the doors.  Actually, I think it is one of the photographic stills from the 
Troughton era.  So, AT THIS TIME we know there was a space between the inner and outer doors.  Given that the Tardis has at least two control rooms (I seem to 
recall a suggestion of a third, Granite control room, but can't remember where)_ who says that the control (console?>) room has to be anywhere near the main
doors (remembering also per Terminus, that the Tardis has a rear emergancy 
exit).

However.............

Remember as well, that the architectural configuration can be changed (per
LOGOPOLIS, Castrovalva etc) so the answer to this question at any one point
of the Tardis' "life" may not be the definative answer.
