Lady Romanadvoratrelunder (this seems to be the correct spelling, but anybody
is easily forgiven the odd letter or three) was Romana's full name and title.
Fred was the other contraction the Doctor offered to call her by, which the
Time Lady in question was all in favour of. :)

was used to access the Matrix, sort of like a V-R Helmet, only more like an
induction coil.)..  The TRUE key of Rasillon, was the crystal in the chamber

the eye in someone's review of 'Deadly Assassin' on the Internet, and here
in the echo...
No, I'm still remembering the Eye, as being in the tardis... ... And,

Being at something of a loose end on the weekends, I've begun compiling a
HTML episode guide of Who. I've started with a standard text file, and begun
adding things from memory and I suppose that's where it all comes unglued. I
can't possibly remember _everything_ :|
Which brings me to the point of this message. If ye have any trivial details
concerning the show in any way, could ye please mail them to me, either this
echo or netmail. Points raised in episodes, notable actors in guest spots,
NA/MA tie-ins, ISBNs, video serial numbers, anything at all, I'll take it. My
personal mail needs a boost... :)
F'rinstance, is there any mention on-screen of the Master and the Doctor
attending the Academy together? `tisn't in Terror Of The Autons...
Also, if there's already something out there that does all this, please let
me know and I'll settle for being the unambitious slob I've always intended
to be... :)
have fun

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All,
I wonder if anyone can assist me with a "problem" I have.
It has been pointed out to me, about 8 years ago, by a FRIEND! :-) that I
look like Davros (master/creature of the daleks) with the method of
transport I use (electric chair), plus if I have my Amateur radio with me,
I wear a headphone mic, that comes in front of my mouth (like air traffic
controllers), and as he used to wear one, it sort of finishes the
similarity off, at least I hope those are the only similarities. :-)
Anyway since starting POINTing, 18 months ago, I have had the origin that
appears at the bottom of this message.  About 8 months ago I decided to
add a SIG file, so thought I would design a DAVROS "heck with that" I'm
no artist.  So I asked in a few echoes, and in the Internet newsgroup for
DW, but got very few responses.
It ended up with me designing one, that I'm not particular happy with,
but there you go.  I also do a lot of archiving to want one for those,
though of course they can be a descent size and be in ANSI.
I would appreciate it if someone can design me one or both pictures,
credit will be given, though anyone who knows me knows it would not be me
who designed it.
Thanking anyone who can help, in advance.

 Sara Jane and Harry Sullivan are the companions. D)

"Who Picked Up Again?", Joe Siegler bellowed to Earl Green...
No argument there.
Don't ye think that multi-doctor stories started running out of puff shortly
before the end of The Five Doctors? Methinks as a 10th Anniversary, `twas a
fine idea. For the 25th, an outstanding concept whose time had come, and was
rapidly running out.
If they can portray Doctors 1 - n for the 50th anniversary, I'll think it
quite nice too, but otherwise `tis much a case of BTDT. Got the T-shirt, why
bother. None of the remaining Doctors are worthy of hauling out of mothballs
to trot about for a bit o' cheap nostalgia. Leave `em in the past, where they
belong.

        enough...
        The opening was a sort of spoof of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
