 Although I agree on this, one must look at the other side as well....
 Think of all the possiblities we can get with an animated version of
Doctor Who.  Anyone ever read a New or Missing adventure book and say
"Gee, I wish I could actually see that" at one point while reading it?
Well, that's the side I'm looking at....the things they could never do
with an strictly live action show.  Personally, I look forward to see
this *if* it ever gets the go ahead.....

     There is a middle ground James.  Nelvanna has done a credible job
with that in the past (okay not with the revamped Gargoyals...), they
could make an animated Doctor Who aimed at teens and adults that's
pretty watchable.  The Studios do realize there is a market out there
for stuff that's more sophisticated. Shows like Spiderman,
Beasties/Beast Wars, and The Simpsons are all an attempt to fulfill
that market.

assistant: You could be very wrong. Compare the live action Batman series which was
played for camp and the current Batman: The Animated Series, which has VERY
good writng and is VERY serious and is mostly watched by adults. Other
certoons
like GGargoyles and Phantom 2040 are very serious, well written series that
happen to be animated. Imagine stories like Robot or any of the Daleks
tories
with an UNLIMITED special effects budget and with the same writers. In fact
imagine ANY Well written Doctor Who story with an UNLIMITED speical effects
budget and any effects the mind could imagine.
That's what Doctor Who would be like as an animated series, so long as an
Americancompany did'nt get ahold of it.

assistant: THE SAVAGES
                         Season 3 - 4 Episodes
The Savages was the last story to feature Peter Purves as companion
Steven Taylor. Peter was a little dissatified with the use of Steven and
the producer Innis Lloyd and the script editor Gerry Davis decided that
it was time for a change.
Plans for his replacement, (Ben, in following story, The War Machines)
got underway and it was decided that the female companion, Dodo (Jackie
Lane) was going to be written out in the next story as well.
The Date: Far into the Future
The Place: An Unnamed Planet
The Doctor and his friends, Steven and Dodo, land on a planet which is
filled by two faces of people. There was fur-covered savages and a
highly-advanced race living in a high-tech city.
The leader of the advanced race claims that they can survive by
draining the "life force" from the savages for their own ends and when
the Doctor finds this out - he is outraged so the leader of the
"advanced" race decides on a terrible decision ..... the Doctor has
great knowledge and the Doctor and his companions will join the savages
for the "Savages" in the city to be drain their knowledge and life
force.......
