assistant: Good point...   If anyone out there rememebrs the show, the Six Million
Dollar Man,  suggest you go to a local Library, and ask for the book
CYBORG' of which the series (and the pilot movie) were based.
a Cyborg, is a combining of both artificial (mechanical, Etc.) & organic
being.. Steve Austin, was given Bionic Limbs, and an eye.. Hence, he became
a Cyborg. Half Man, Half machine.  The BORG, in the ST:TNG series & movie
to be released,  are born organic, and practically after birth, cybernetic
implants are added..  Cybermen, are originally organic, and turned into
cyborgs as well,  But DALEKS, are NOT CYBORGS!!!!  Dyleks are the Mutated
remains of what had been the Kaleds (reference Tom Baker series, Genesis
Of The Daleks', Kaled (Not 100% sure on this one) scientist Davros forced
the mutation, caused by constant chemical warfare between the Kaleds &
the Thals (??  Correct me if I'm wrong.)  on the planet Scarro.
The Mark-III Battle transport is what gives the Daleks a 'Robot' look.)
As for the Cybermen being organic, yes, you're right...  I'm trying to
remember the story name,   The Doctor (REALLY digging into memory, I'm
sure it was Colin Baker.) & Peri (Nichol Bryant) were captured by the
Cybermen, and brought to a world where several cybermen were in suspended
animation, (cold storage, Litteral), and the original inhabitants of the
world were sabotaging the place, by forcing some of the ones in suspended
animation to de-freeze, before they were ready...  I also seem to remember
durring the Peter Davidson series, a particular bad-guy, durring the final
episode with Teegan, (a group of daleks had attempted to break Davros out of
a cryo-prison, so that he could combat a virus that was attacking the Daleks)
.. the guy was a hired-gun by the Daleks,  he later became a Cyberman (or,
was in the process of becomming one, durring the Colin baker episode I'm
mentioning above.)

assistant: I wouldn't say that...  McCoy appeared MUCH older than both of them in the
movie...
 As for the ones who've been saying that McOy was really hurt by the change
of plots turning the show into a Children's adventure.. Little do they
realize, Doctor Who, was Originally a children's series to begin with!
  In actuality, it really was the producers & writers, who eventually killed
it..  the storys got Too sketchy (we're talking plots with more holes than
a log of Alpine-Lace Swiss cheese!), and too jumpy/short attention span type.
  I, myself, was disappointed with the movie..  Same problem..  too sketchy.
virtually NO action, with very little plot..
 Speaking of Multiple Doctor episodes,  What was the reason why Tom Baker
was never included in  'The 5 Doctors'? aside from brief parts from his
series, and trapping his character (& Romana) ?  I seem to remember around
the same time, Tom Baker was playing the part of a rogue Interpol agent,
in a short-lived series over here in the states, 'Remmington Steele'..
 3rd side note... Around 1992, there was a software company, called
Admiral Software... Apparently they produced a few computer games based
on the series.. One I've personally seen,  'Dalek Attack'.. Yes, I have
seen the 'cracked' version, but two questions.. (1) does the company exist,
and if they still do, where?  (2) do they still have the game for sale? I'm
interested in obtaining a Legal, and fully functional copy.. I've seen some
nasty quirks on the Cracked version.. (cracked how: somehow, the original
game demanded the original disk in drive A:... somehow, somebody figured how
to get around it, but also did major damage to the game as well.)
  Thanks,  Stephen

  I have quite a few in .WAV format, including one marked as 'UNUSED', which
apparently was one they were going to use for the 1st doctor, but wanted
something more toned-down.. The beginning of it, is something like
combining #1's with #6  (an explosion sound after the 1st 3 seconds)

I see BBC are revoking the claim that they were making another
movie with McGann - probably some oily BBC toad like Will Wyatt who put
the rumour out anyway.  Although amusingly enough, after the BBC
embarrasement of Doctor Who winning the best BBC Drama Serial of 60
years of the BBC, in a recent poll in a newspaper of the top ten
programs of senior television movers and shakers, most of them included
Doctor Who! :}}}
So the jokes on the BBC for once.

Survivors was set in the near future, following an epidemic of some
(unspecified) fatal disease. The country had degenerated to a
feudal/medieval society, with small groups of people fighting for
survival by growing their own food, building machinery, and where
necessary, looting remains of cities or trying to negotiate with other
groups.
It was written by Terry Nation for the BBC, and has been shown on

assistant: Hi All
A few days ago, I have seen the Dr. Who Movie for the first time.
Now I would like to talk about it.
I did not read this area for some time because I wanted no spoiler for the
film, so I will probably warm up some old threads - sorry!
First of all: I liked it.
The british flair was not copletely destroyed by FOX, but there was too much
action and speed. No time to think 'why does the Doctor this?' or 'what could
happen when ...' while I was watching the movie for the first time. I don't
know, if I like this ...
Sone Questions:
The Doctor is half human:
If it is true, why didn't he tell this till now?
Or was it a only trick, to make the humans more confortable?
Do I have to accept this ????????
The morphing Master:
Was this 'Dr. Who' or 'Deep Space Nine'? The Master looked really like Odo.
The eye of the Tardis:
Why should it open only for humans??? The Tardis was built by Timelords, and
the eye is a part of the Tardis.
At least, now I konw, what the master ment, when he answerd the Doctors
Question 'You look good. Did you regenerate?' by saying 'Sort of ...'
