I just picked up the fifth Doctor handbook the other night.  It's still
pretty hard for me to believe that Davison was only 29 (-my age-) when he
played the part:  Shoot, Davison's playing the part of a boyhood hero at that
age would be like Paramount calling me now and asking if I wanted to play a
young Captain Kirk.  The funny thing is that out of all the Doctors, I get
the impression that Davison and -not- Tom Baker is the one who is haunted
most by the part, even though he indicates that he is bothered more about
"All Creatures Great and Small."  Great stuff in there about the genesis of
"The Five Doctors," too.

transference up in the dictionary and it says; the transfer of desires or

OK, well October's been a busy month, so for those that haven't heard, here's
a bit of lowdown:
A new Liverpool pay-channel thingo opened in Britain, and which Liverpudlian
did they choose to interview on the first day but Paul McGann!  He was asked
direct questions like:  "Is the show coming back?"  and gave direct answers
like: "Yes.  The BBC have taken up my contract;  Fox are no longer
nterested;
 shooting (should? could?) happen in March-April, with broadcasting in
October-November 1997."
Yeah well!  Don't get too excited 'coz...
Someone else (a fan) went to a dinner party at the BBC and had a chat with a
few execs.  While the top, top brass kinda liked the show and wanted to see
more, he didn't know too much really, and the guy really charge of these
things said instead that he thought the Fox Who was "too dark" (hmph, I saw
that coming a mile off, last year) and needed too much money for the effects
it needed, so there ... etc, this despite the fact it was the plot that let
the show down and a good script (which Who is known for) doesn't cost money;
but the guy didn't want an argument ...
Lastly, we seem to have found lots more missing footage, this time in
Australia!  Good stuff, too, because it's all the bits the censors here cut
out.  Only trouble is we have to wait for the fans here to stop bickering
amongst themselves (apparently they have a reputation here for that)  <tongue
firmly in cheek>  ... I speak from experience ...
So that's about it for now.
I'll get my BlueWave up and running RSN.
