[net.tv.drwho] comment on the SPOILER rumor about Doctor Who's next season

mae@aplvax.UUCP (Mary Anne Espenshade) (02/01/86)

A change to aplvax's uucp connections makes it very probable that
this didn't get posted the first time (postnews gave me an
"unknown site" error message), so this is a second try.  If it did
get out, sorry for the repetition.

In response to Sean Rouse's reply to Charles Kupperman's article on
the rumors about the next season of Doctor Who ending with the
destruction of Gallifrey:

I'm afraid you missed the point in a big way Sean - the suspicions and
rumors surrounding Michael Grade's intentions for Doctor Who are that
he intends to have the series ENDED in a PERMANENT fashion, hence the
rumors (still unfounded as far as I know) about the distruction of
Gallifrey at the end of the next season.  Therefore it doesn't matter
that the TARDIS would lose it's ability to travel.  Presumably it and
the Doctor would be destroyed as well.  As you will find out if your
local PBS station is carrying Blake's 7, the BBC has done this before.

Write the BBC today!
