To start off with, apologies about the N/V typo. I either type these things
in early in the morning or late at night. I catch most, but if it looks right,
I don't. Alas, there is an ITN and it is related to ITV.
John Nathan-Turner was in New York this past weekend and has given us
some information. Doctor Who will begin taping again in early 1986 for an
Autumn 1986 return to British TV. JNT has had his contract renewed for
the new season, and Colin Baker is under contract for that as well. (Although
that doesn't guarantee his return, with the financial problems (:-) at the
BBC, I don't see them paying for two Doctors and keeping one idle!)
Also: Due to the hiatus, there have been realistic discussions about a Doctor
Who Movie to be made in the interim, with JNT, Colin, et al. Whether or not
anything comes out of this is not yet known, but it could keep the fans happy
while the poor old BBC reconciles its finances.
