I believe that "Day of the Daleks" on LD was a sort of test market
type of thing. To see if Dr. Who LD's would sell. If the sales on this
disc are good, I would expect to see more titles in the future. If
not, they will probably stick with VHS...

They probably ought to be called 'bleepers'.  In live radio and TV, 'bad'
words are covered up with a 'bleep' (bloop?) sound before they actually
reach the air.  Assuming the 'blooped' out word was a mistake, we get
blooper = mistake.

No, they didn't make any response. But they've certainly heard of
_Doctor Who_. They had a fairly large article about the show in the
mid-eighties. (I think it was right at the end of the Davison era.)
They're not completely unenlightened.

You laughed because you must be blind. My 30 line post made someone fill in

I watched you post the same old vote thing every week and just skipped it. You
did not take an official USENET vote, so I did not take part. I had already
put in my suggestions long before you even considered a vote, but you ignored
them. Why should I vote? You just took a poll. Perhaps if you took an official
vote, more people would take part and you would have points of interest to
limit the size and frequency of posting. But YOU don't want these, so you did
things your way. If you sample the articles in the group or others, 80% of the
readers don't give a shit about removing unnecessary text or megasigs, so why
even bother voting on it. "I'm not paying for, what do I care?"

I already said to do it the way you are doing it because you are going to do
it that way. I know how to skip the megaposts. You have a limit to the length
of a post, but not how many or how often. So post away. You win.

Do you have a program that converts > into -, or do you do that all by hand?
I converted them all back.

There was no context - that's all that was shown.  It was part of a special

I don't think there had actually been anything in the show at that point  
saying that "An Unearthly Child" was set in 1963. Indeed I'm not sure that  
there has been any indicating that in the show, even in "Rememberance of  
the Daleks".
It seems to be generally assumed that "An Unearthly Child" was set at  
about the time of it's broadcast date, but I'm not sure why.
One obvious limit on the setting is whenever British money went decimal,  
but I don't know when that was. Anyone?

	 Er, am I mad, or what?
	I could _swear_ that in Rememberance of the Daleks,
	at one point, Ace gets up from a lounge in someones
	house and switches the television off, just as the
	presenter says something like

	"And now we show the first episode in our new science fiction

I was very surprised recently to see this machine in a fairly small
local pizza shop (in Baltimore, MD ... actually in Catonsville, MD). 
My family was out for pizza one day and there, among all of the karate 
video games and car race simulators, was this incredible Dr.Who pinball 
machine.  My wife is the real Whovian, but we all got a big kick out of it,
especially the music, the Daleks, Davros, etc.  We burnt a few dollars
in quarters, which really didn't get us very far into the game's
possibilities, given our own significant lack of pinball wizardry.
It was great nevertheless.  Any other sightings out there???

Hey! I watched every single episode of Star Cops that was broadcast here in the
US, and I must protest. The show was quite good. A real view of space with a
rather large dependance on the science and not the fiction. I may be a bit
biased because I loved the detective aspect of the show which is the point of
the show. Space was merely a setting. Indeed, the setting allowed the show
explore some very new and interesting aspects of crime which have never truly
been examined in a similiar manner.

The descriptions I've heard have always described Victoria as appearing
on the viewscreen, in a long zoom-out as the TARDIS "takes off".  (This
seems to fit in with the director's weird idea earlier in the story about
the TARDIS coming in for a landing on the water, rather than just
materializing.  How did the TARDIS get to the beach by the last episode,
anyway?)

It's been awhile since I've heard anything new in the way of episode
rumors.  I wonder if at last they have all been worked out.  Still, they 
always make interesting reading.  Anyone in the uk got any news on this 
subject?
your's, gregory.

 Does this latest release include the sound effects that were previously
missing from the broadcasted version?

I seem to have missed this discussion.  I suppose all Lallawardists have
been watching Duchess of Duke Street on Bravo Wednesdays (rerun: Sunday)
to see Lalla acting the role of "The Dutchess'" daughter.
