        ************************************************************
    Lost Stories
    "Ghost Light" was preceded by another submission of Marc Platt's,
    entitled "Lungbarrow".  This would have seen the Doctor returning
    to his ancestral home, Lungbarrow, and meeting up with his
    eccentric and twisted family.  Another unused Season Twenty-Six
    story was an adventure entitled "Alixion" by Robin Mukherjee.
    The cancellation of Season Twenty-Seven also resulted in several
    unmade stories.  The first story would have been an Ice Warrior
    adventure by Marc Platt concerning the terraforming of Mars.  The
    next two stories would have been linked, one set in the 1970s and
    the next in the 1990s and featuring common characters.  Ace would
    have left in the first, while a new companion, the daughter of
    gangster, would have joined the Doctor in the second.  The last
    story, apparently "Avatar" by David A McIntee, would then have
    regenerated the Doctor.
    Making History
    With ratings dipping lower than ever for Season Twenty-Six, the
    decision was finally taken to place "Doctor Who" on hiatus,
    indefinitely.  Despite persistent promises from the BBC and an
    abortive attempt to make a thirtieth anniversary special in 1993
    (note from Thanatos:  I guess "Dimensions in Time", the 15 minute
    special for the "Children in Need" charity doesn't count?),
    nothing came of these promises for over six years, until May 1996
    when "Enemy Within" aired, featuring both the Seventh Doctor and
    his successor.

Don't wether the new Khochanski is a hologram or a real character -
apparantly she's from a different dimension.
Talking of different dimensions, any other UK bods catch Sliders which
started on Friday?  Typical of the BBC to hide it away without any
publicity... not a bad series, the lead is quite good, considering it's
a brainy kid role it could have been so easily to fall into the
irritating Wesley mold.

Hope not, I think the alternative dimension Khochanski will find Lister
quite repulsive - hope it doesn't go down traditional comedy route, as
Red Dwarf only really took off once it started to mix the Steptoe in

assistant: Peter,
hey
Probably just a silly rumour,  Obi-Wan has a big role in the new films,
so I would think that a real actor would be cast.  Regardless of role
the new films *are* being shot in England, which would be more of a
incentive for someone like Kenneth Branagh to play 'ole Ben.
or
Thats the big sucker isn't it?  "Under the right direction".
Unfortuantly, especially in recent years Doctor Who has had to contend
with crap direction as well as the handicap of boring silly scripts.
Tell that to the BBC!
