Write your reply.

assistant: Why not, there're enough British actors and all in the film to slot it
in here...
Same principle though...makes no difference whether or not the creator
does it... Suppose the Klingons were suddenly declared "non canon" by
Rick Berman, would you go along with that?
Why not just bring up all the Star Wars actors who had appeared in
Doctor Who?

fact...

assistant: Jill,
Was more a script problem then anything else. Theres some nice direction
in the pilot, although the car chase sequence was as exciting as
watching the World Chess Championships.  McGann was great, but the story
just wasn't involving or thrilling enough - did anyone think the rather
limp Mr Roberts would defeat the Doctor where the
Daleks/Cybermen/Original Masters had failed?!  I hope they can make
more, but with better writers and less comedy.  Over here Netherwhere
has just started on BBC2, which is quite similar to 80's Who in the
style of produciton/acting ect.  It's about people who live in a world
underground, fantasy based and should help sooth those post Who blues.

Some people here seem intrested in Dwarf.  Was reading TV Zone more

episodes of the 7th Season and enjoyed doing them so much, his decided
to commit himself to the full 8 episodes of the 8th season!
Clohe Annett plays the new Kohchanski (from an alternative dimension)
and much of the humour is supposed to come from Lister, Cat and Kryton's
recations to her.

 I didn't see anything to indicate that this was a discovery made
 in the course of the 2-hour show. To me, his ancestry appeared
 to be something that he knew but hadn't mentioned earlier.
 I suppose that another possibility would be that his genes are
 shuffled with each incarnation, with the possibility of
 recessives taking control.  Don't think that genes work that
 way, mind.

Not to mention being shot in England... And the Peter Cushing

the movies, he's not cutting anything out that wasn't there before!
Not to mention that everything in Star Wars not written by Lucas has a
lesser "canon status" anyway.  (Let's keep it closer to Who - what if
Terry Nation declared the Daleks "non canon", which seems more likely
anyway since he has copyright.)  In Who, tons of other writers have used
the Daleks in subsequent episodes, which are all considered about equal
in authority.  If Lucas decided he didn't like, say, the Ewoks and
decided there was a tribe of Wookies living on Endor instead (fat
chance), it would be a shock but wouldn't mean that other
"authoritative" stuff was invalidated - we've already been living with
the thought that what he says in the next trilogy may invalidate the
books, etc, we'd just have to come to grips with the fact that it was
invalidated a little earlier.
Because I don't know any... :-)

 Since you jumped in I figured I'd do the same.
 This is true. But concider that we didn't know that he was a Time Lord
until the end of the Patrick Troughton years. That would be 6 years.
 Also, about Sutekth, remember the Doctor can shield his thoughts. I refer
you to The Invasion of Time.
 His Bio-Data extract, well records can be altered...
