I'm still not sure which is the one I was referring to withthe"scarf". This
fellow looked like he dropped off the mid 60's 70's wagon. Kind of a
psychodelic(sp?) look to that episode as well. It was in color, ans if your
list was in order of 'filling in as...' then the latter is probably the one.
 Anyhow, it'll be a while till space station channel gets to the
color(60-70's) episodes.

 That's him.  I just purchased the latest Doctor Who magazine, which
features an interview with Tom Baker.  He's finishing up his
autobiography, "Who on Earth is Tom Baker?"  I haven't read the
interview yet, it looks interesting.
 No, they don't taste anywhere near the same as those.  The closest I
have seen is a sweet jelly candy called "Swedish fish".
 I consider myself lucky that I can get the real thing here in Montreal,

 Hmmm, Tom Baker has a lot to answer for IMHO.
 BTW, Bassett's Jelly Babies are very nice and extrememly addictive... but
the best ones are the big squishy jelly ones.
 My preferences are green and then perhaps black... my memory isn't that
great but wasn't the Doctor fond of the the red ones?

user: You are replying to Mary Sinclair about "Re: Channel 13".

Write your reply.

assistant: Mary- I have a simply question. Why does Dallas no longer see Dr. Who on
a PBS channel? The Dallas/Ft. Worth not only has KERA that claims to be
the most watched PBS station in the United States, but we also have a
new PBS station in Denton. But neither show any Dr. Who , why is that?
Surely it could not be because that there are none that we have not
seen. I watched Dr. Who for about three years and I am told that it was
on the air for thirty years. Surely there are some episodes that are
affordable and still not seen in this area.
And please, it can't be because there isn't enough money to buy it. We
have enough money to buy yet another program about the sex life of some
obscure South American insect. We have enough money to buy a film of 200
fools with steel tapped shoes stomping the floor in rythm and haveing
the audacity of calling themselves the "Lord of Dance". It was more like
the Lord of Bug Stomping.
We have enough money to pay administrators way too much salary for
getting on the air and begging for more money.
I know that my opinion does not count , but why do we really not have
any more Dr. Who episodes?
And it most certianly can't be because there is no interest. Look at this
echo and all the fan clubs across the nation for example.
I don't think it is because people are more interested in bugs and
alleged dancers. I think it is because some one does not know what they are
doing.

You have too much spare time. :-)
Now "Goodnight Sweatheart" on the other hand was/is always an interesting
idea (time travelling television repairman). Currently enjoying reruns on the

It was bad enough when Coro St was first run but now we've got it on Foxtel
(cable TV) here in Australia along with Eastenders, Eldorado, and practically
every Brit soapie made.
Recently got to see the 9 episodes of "Space Cops" on cable. I quite liked
