Here's some information on the availability of one of the Doctor Who movies. The information is from the latest "Video" magazine's "new tapes" section : "Dr. Who and the Daleks. Color. 1965. Peter Cushing, Roy Castle, Jennie Linden, Roberta Tovey, Barry Ingham. Time travelers transported to world ruled by hos- tile robots. 78 min. Beta, VHS (Hi- Fi). $69.95. Thorn EMI/HBO." A pretty high price tag, but at least it appears to be available now in the American market. For more information contact : Thorn EMI/HBO Video 1370 Sixth Ave. New York, NY 10019 (212-977-8990) I saw this one about a year ago on an independent station. I wasn't impressed. They changed much of the background of the characters. Both Susan and Barbara are his grand-daughters, and Ian is barbara's boyfriend. The Doctor isn't an alien, but a experimenter. The TARDIS changes too, no hi-tech look and fancy control console, instead its a jumble of loose wires and equipment. "Reality is a crutch for people who can't handle science fiction."
