assistant: Various people have posted questions along the lines of 'who came after
the old doctor?', 'who played doctor number 2?', 'when did such-and-such
an episode happen?'.  To go towards helping with these questions I've
posted a program list I have. Unfortunately, it only goes up to season 21
in 1984, the sixth doctor - ColDoc.  At some point I'll have to get around
to getting the ino to finish the list.
Notes for the uninitiated: Yes, the program codes are correct even though
they sometimes go out of sequence.  Some episodes were filmed in a
different order to transmission.

   That would be issue 258 for those who don't know.  It is a pretty
good article.  Long, but worth it!
   There was a little article in the issue before (257) which had a
very tiny peice of script and one illustration by this Karen McCoy who
started this thing about wanting to do an animated Doctor Who.  This
article goes on to say that BBC Worldwide has never been in any talks
with Ms. McCoy and are not interested in doing Doctor Who as an animated
project.
   I would have to say, by what little script was in this article and
the one illustration, BBC Worlwide wouldn't be interested in Karen McCoy
even if it did want to do an animated Doctor Who.  The drawing is too
"cartoony" and the peice of script is lame.  I seriously doubt any real
Doctor Who fan would continue watching after seeing even part of the
first episode, if it were ever made. (The preceeding paragraph is my
own opinion and does not reflect any corporations views.)
   I also must stress one point.  There can be no official saying on
if any company is going to be doing any Doctor Who until after the end
of December.  Universal still has the rights until then.
   Thanks,
  Artimus

   If I remember correctly, I believe the Doctor had to give the car
back and the Brigader got him another one.  I won't be able to conferm
this until January when my PBS station begins to show the 3rd Doctor
for the first time in seven years.

What are you doing?
JAMIE: We've got to stop that thing somehow!
VICTORIA: You'll bury us alive!
JAMIE: It's our only chance! Now get back!
(The beam prop out of place to bring part of the roof down on the
pursuing Yeti, burying it under rubble. Dusting themselves off, the two
stand up after JAMIE shielded VICTORIA from the rubble. They both stare
at the claw that poke out of the rubble.)
JAMIE: You all right?
VICTORIA: That horrible thing. What was it?
JAMIE: I don't know. Did you see what it did to my sword though? Broke
it like it was a piece of wood. No human's as strong as that.
VICTORIA: What is this place?
(She turns to the collection of spheres at the back of the cave.)
And what are those?
JAMIE: Some sort of metal? There all glowing.
VICTORIA: Oh, let's get away from here, Jamie.
(JAMIE picks up a sphere from the collection and puts it in his satchel
that he had on him.)
JAMIE: Aye, if we can. I don't think that tunnel's completely blocked.
Come on. Oh, don't worry about that, it's quite dead.
(They pass the rubble covering the Yeti and move towards the entrance of
the cave. Behind them, the claw starts to move......)
VICTORIA: (staring at the claw.) Eah!
JAMIE: What's the matter?
VICTORIA: Look!
(The Yeti starts to climb out of the rubble.)
JAMIE: Come on!

                      Season 5  1967  6 episodes
______________________________________________________________________
  This six part story from Season five introduced a new monster, the
Yeti or Abominable Snowmen. Despite only two appearances in Doctor Who,
the Yeti have become established as one of the more popular and enduring
creatures in the series' history.
  The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria land in Tibet near the monastery of
Det Sen, around 1935. Here they encounter Professor Travers, played by
Jack Watling, (who was also Deb Watling's father). Travers is seeking
the Yeti, described by Jamie as "great hairy beasties", but according to
Travers shy, harmless creatures. However the Yeti are not shy, and
appear anything but harmless.
  Meanwhile, the Doctor has been given a very unfriendly welcome by the
monks, and the plot thickens as the High Lama himself appears to be
under the control of some evil entity.
  Could this also explain the behaviour of the Yeti?
  Apart from a few seconds of footage from episode 4, only episode 2
exists today. This can be found on the BBC video "The Troughton Years".

VICTORIA: Oh yes. Please, the Doctor...

courtyard.)
VICTORIA: What is it?
PADMASAMBHAVA: The courtyard is empty.
VICTORIA: Courtyard?
PADMASAMBHAVA: I must do what I am compelled to do.

VICTORIA: What's that?
PADMASAMBHAVA: Come closer.
(He holds it up in the air and VICTORIA looks at it.)
Look. See.
(With a mixture of amazement and horror VICTORIA recognises it for what
it is.)
VICTORIA: It's one of those horrible creatures, a Yeti.
PADMASAMBHAVA: Indeed. But you have not seen it.

others right inside the monastery.)

That's what you get for making folk heroes out of the likes of Kylie and

I heard her sing in a couple of the Eldorado eps.
