assistant: Re your message about Paul McGann not wanting anything more to do with Dr Who
apparently because of his "bad experience...incomprehension with fan
interest."  I don't get it.  An actor finds it a bad experience that fans
liked him in a part?  Am I missing something here?  Is it just that he
doesn't like Dr Who fans, and if so, why did he do the part?  I'm confused.
Any thoughts?  Thanks. Dawn

Many thanx for the wonderful scripts from lost Whostories that you have been
posting here!  There is one small problem:  Marco Polo Ep. 1-A was fine, but
it's continuation on the next message, Ep. 1-B, was from "The Savages",
episode 1, 12th scene, which appeared again as part of your Savages Ep.1
installment.  I'd really appreciate it if you would post the continuation of
Ep. 1-A of "Marco Polo"!  Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, you think that they'll renegerate the Doctor AGAIN just because McGann
is a primadonna who won't do Who unless it will make him some international
megastar. Well forget him and that stupid movie. File it along side the two
Daleks movies and bring the series back where Survival left off.

     The answer to that would appear to be "yes".  It also appears that
it's an "in house thing".  More plainly, it's something the people at
Default Films have come up with for their animated Who.  Possibilities
are that we won't see this in a book for some time, if ever.

I think McGann's surprise was that female fans found him so darn sexy in the
part, and were very vocal about it. (Though he did do nude scenes in The
Rainbow).  Guess it wasn't what he expected from Doctor Who.  I have heard
he's very shy.

Which is why they should sign Sylvester or whoever they get to replace him to

to but they MUST PLAY THE DOCTOR FOR AT LEASTR FIVE YEARS!.
Think about it. There were 2 Doctors for the 60's, two doctors's for the 70's
and including Tom Baker FOUR Doctor for 1980-1987, which is why I say that
the BBC should just cut their losses, butn that stupid movie and beg

I agree with what you're saying, but I think the TV show would have been
more like the film if the budgets had allowed them to be.  But the beeb
always thought of it as a kids programme and so they never spent very
much money on it.
I think the film offered some real nasty horror bits for the younger
members watching it.  Certainly my 8 year old nephew loved it.
I liked the Tardis, but I can imagine that real "Who" enthusiasts would
have been disappointed because it was _so_ different to the established
format.

Goes for me too.  I can't stand *any* film where it all turns lovey
dovey.
I must add, I thought the intro credits and the main music score for the
Dr. Who movie were brilliant.  I loved the revamped music, even if they
did play the last bit of the tune first, and the first bit last <g>
