It's almost certainly Brian Blessed. Take a look at your copy of DWM's
UNIT Special (if you were unfortunate enough to buy it, that is). On one
of the pages, there are photos of the seven Doctors to date, along with a
picture of Brian Blessed. No reason is given as to why he is pictured along
with the Doctors. The only reason I can think of is that DWM want to drop
a sly hint about the actor they refer to in the later article.

And as for Pertwee - puh-lease! I mean, the guy's 70+ years old - and so is
unsuitable to take the lead role in a new series which would hopefully have a
number of years to go yet. Even if he did take up the role, he would most
probably have to take a less active role in the stories, something along the
lines of the first Doctor (and remember, Hartnell was much younger when he
was the Doctor than Pertwee is now).

[ There's also the personality factor. I don't want to start any flame wars,
  but IMHO, Pertwee is totally unsuitable for the role. I'm unwilling to
  give my reasons why I feel this, as I can't afford a libel suit ]

Sorry Wayne, you are very, very mistaken....Roger Delgado died way back in 
like 1973/4 after the filming of Frontier in Space.  The Deadly Assasin was
made in 1976 starring Peter Pratt as the Master.  So there was none of that
dying right before the filming thing.  

As far as the next show thing.  This is also wrong.  When John Nathan-Turner
took over production of the show, his main goal was to bring back the Master
before Tom Baker left.  There was no delay in writing the story.  The master
was to come back as a recurring character after Logopolis.  Once a season
to be precise.

	Tom Baker or Jon Pertwee returning to the role?
	Well, if they were going to do Tom Baker, he'd have to dye
his hair.  I saw him recently and he's completely gray.  Now Jon Pertwee
was always gray; he's just gone white, recently.  So I don't think they
would have much trouble using him.  This is assuming, of course, that
they plan to start up again before the third Doctor regenerated into
the fourth.  I for one would like that.  One neat thing about _The
Two Doctors_ (a story full of neat things) was the way the old control
panel was used when they had the second Doctor get to Dastari's station.
They couldn't have made Jamie look 15 or so again (I think that's about
how old he was in the sixties) but they tried to make the sets resemble
that time.
	I wouldn't like the idea of having Sylvester McCoy regenerate
into Pertwee or Baker.

On the NTSC copies I have MacroVision copy protection is used. I don't know
about PAL though. An easy way to test is adjust the vertical hold on the
TV the tape is being played on. If the band is solid black, no protection
is being used. If it is checkered (black & white or grey & white) and 
alternating the colours, MacroVision is being used. It can be combated with
a MAcroScrubber sold mail order in the back of most video magazines. It
is illegal to be used for copying so it is up to you.

Unfortunately, in the case of Doctor Who, profit does not
seem to influence the BBC at all.  Regardless of the high
fees (profit) that the AMERICAN arm of the BBC, Lionheart,
manages (or rather MANAGED) to extort from PBS stations for
Doctor Who, in spite of the continued and extremely steady
attendance (profit) made by the Who exhibitions at
Blackpool (before it closed), Longleat, and the Museaum of
the Moving Image (before it closed), not to mention the
high sales (profit) being made by the New Adventures books,
Doctor Who Magazine, or other Who merchandise, the BBC has
continually done its best to cancel the program, despite (or
maybe in spite of) the public's outcry against such an
action.  So, while it's safe to say that American stations
and programming decisions are based on ratings and profits
made, the same cannot be said in regards to the programming
decisions of the BBC -- at least not in regards to Doctor
Who. 
 
Although, like you suggested, it would certainly help if
the show suddenly started getting bigger ratings.  Of
course, if the beeb would: a) advertise it a bit more, b)
stick with a time slot, and c) not put it up against the
most popular shows in the UK, it would probably stand a
better chance of doing so.

I think everyone is forgetting the real reason for the BBC doing this.

The actor who played hte orginal Master died right before that episode
was filmed.  Rather than kill the character off, the BBC had someone
play that decrepid version.  The next show was suppose to have the
Master taking over another body, thus restoring the Master as a
recurring character with a new actor.  I have no idea why that show was
delayed until "Keeper of Traken" (2-3 years if I remember right).

This is one of the things that really annoyed me about the more recent
seasons.  It seems that a good number of episodes is the 26 they did
during the T. Baker years.  With only 14 episodes, there are only about
3 months in a season, much too short.

Well, thats very interesting but didn't Rassilon happen to have a few 
powers up his sleeve?  Like releasing Doctor 4 & Romana from the eddy in the
time vortex?  And what about sticking Borusa to stone?  Hmmm even the Doctor
was shocked by that.  What I believe is that the Doctor is not Rassilon and
that he will only have 12 regenerations (all good things must come to an
end.)
