New Jersey Network has become the first station in the United States to make the commitment to broadcast all available stories from all the Doctors!!!!! Upon completion of the Jon Pertwee season (3 August), NJN will "rest" the Doctor through August (so we can take a vacation, after all! :-), because on 6 September, they will broadcast "An Unearthly Child." (On August 30, as a teaser, they will broadcast "K9 & Company", followed by a special on the old Doctor Who.) NJN has bought the rights to the 17 available Hartnell episodes (if anyone is interested, I can check which ones they are...), 5 available Troughton episodes (The Dominators, The Mind Robber, The Krotons, Seeds of Death, and The War Games), and all 7 Colin Baker stories (Twin Dilemma, Attack of the Cybermen, Vengeance on Varos, Mark of the Rani, Two Doctors, Timelash, and Revelation of the Daleks). The Colin Baker stories will be released by Lionheart one per month, starting in October, on the last Saturday of the month. I do not know (but sincerely hope!) that the stories will be released in order. I also hope that other stations in the US are willing to make the commitment to these stories, as well. -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa "Congratulations, Sir, You survived the vote!"
