Write your reply.

assistant: Hello,
 I am the lucky few that taped that movie, I'll have to watch it again
because I don't remember him handling those little babies.
 I didn't really like Paul McGann as the doctor. I guess because he wasn't
older and didn't show that bit of wisdom that the other(older) doctors showed
in their acting. I shouldn't really criticize(sp?) him because I have only
seen 2 doctors(not including McGann) in action.
 I really do enjoy watching William Hartnell. It seems he can get out of an
situation he stumbles upon, and really shows emotion in his acting.
 Tom Baker, I liked his appearance as the doctor(very tall and lanky)
. I can't say much about his acting because I've only seen one episode with
him. But I feel I                      will like him the best out of all
them. I'll just
have to wait till Space: Imagination Station gets to his eps.
 I'll have to get that one. Better yet do they have a web page? I'm thinking
they'll                      have a preview and                      from the
interview.

Black ones are your fav. Black is black licorice(sp?) flavor in most jelly
candies I've had. I just hate that flavor. It probably tastes different for
the jelly babies.

assistant: Hi,
 Thats interesting. When the doctor regenerates himself, he carries past life
experiences? I never really thought about it before.
 I just found out the last episode that the doctor and his grand
daughter(Suzanne) aren't human. I always thought they were from earth's
future. I remember that in the Tom baker eps, he mentioned he was a timelord.
And that one ep he was fighting going against other timelords. The other
timelords were going to take his title as a timelord(that was a good ep, I
wish I knew the name of it, so I know what to look for when they show it
the tv station shows it again).
Neat. Do you still wear it on cold days, or was it made for you as a kid?
Never the less, i'd probably still wear it. Make a fashion statement! heh.

assistant: He does, but they tend to be buried in his subconscious and surface at
rather odd times.
 They aren't.  The Doctor is referred to as a Time Lord, but that is his
title.  He's a native of the planet Gallifrey so technically is a
Gallifreyan.
 You can't mean the series of episodes with the Sixth Doctor where he
was put on trial, do you?
 One story with the Fourth Doctor and Leela was along a simliar vein.
He returned to Gallifrey and claimed the presidency of the Council of
Time Lords in order to fool an invasion of Vardans and Sontarans.  I
think it was called "Invasion of Time".
 I wear it on occasion, and everyone likes it.  :)

covered with a black, asphalt tarmac; splits have occurred in this
smooth surface, and from these, trees and plant life spring in abundant
quantity. The level of the ground is broken by large rock formations,
craggy, but apparently made of the same material as the ground.
Vegetation also pushes its way out of gaps in these rocks. It is a
peaceful and quiet scene. The silence is broken as the TARDIS
materializes.)

assistant: Hello Joe Siegler,
We had Dr. Who on PBS here for several years.  The local station used it as a
promo for raising money.  Then, management changed, used a Dr. Who special
week for raising a ton of money, and cancelled Dr. Who replacing it with
programming most adults would be embarrassed to watch and which no child or
young adult should watch.  It looks like we will have a change in local
management again, so perhaps we can get Dr. Who back again.
I believe the viewer and financial support is there, but that there is great
viewer mistrust of PBS local management, at least in my area.
Peace,

 Hmm... toughy! Well despite finding Tom Baker even more interesting
second time I saw the episodes and the fact that now I'm older I appreciate
more of Sylvester McCoy it has to be Peter Davison. Absoloutely great. Had a
cool manner about him and wasn't afraid to shoot the odd dalek.
 To be honest I do think all the doctors from the fourth regeneration
onwards have their good points. I even managed to get to like the Sixth
Doctor after seeing Trial of a Time Lord all over again.

It is about a 1990's television repairman Garry Sparrow played by Nicholas
Lyndhurst, who walked around a corner in the east end of London one day and
found himself in 1940's during the Blitz. He can come and go as he pleases
between the 1940's and 1990's by just walking up this particular street. He
can bring stuff back and forward with him but he can't take another person.
He has set up a 1940's memorabilia shop in the 1990's and sells stuff in
perfect condition from the 1940's. He has a wife in the present and a
mistress in the past who don't know about each other. The only person who
knows about his time travelling is his best friend Ron who is a printer. He
pretends to be a MI5 agent in the 1940's and can get away it due perfectly
forged papers and an in-depth knowledge of what is happening and about to
happen in the war (it's history).
