I just bought a copy of the most recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine and found out some interesting information of future shows (future in the sense of not yet been shown in the US as well as Britain). I think this first bit has already been revealed but I'll repeat it anyway: Turlough has been revealed as a member of a race called Trions (not Thals as has been suggested). This happened in a story called "Planet of Fire". Naturally, Turlough leaves the Doctor at the end of this story and returns to his home planet. I'm not positive but I think the story had something to do with a ship from Trion that crashed on the planet of fire and deposited among others Turlough's brother. The Master is also involved in some way in this story. BTW, speaking of the Master, in that same story the Master apparently meets his doom, never to be seen again (which I found to be rather surprising). According to the magazine the Master is most positively vaporised, which doesn't leave much room for the writers to bring the character back. Maybe JNT just got tired of using the Master (it does get pretty tiresome seeing the Master try to kill the Doctor so many times when we all know he must fail but live to try again) or maybe Anthony Ainely (Sp.?) wanted to move on as so many other actors or actresses before him. The most exciting news I saw was a new season preview (Colin Baker's 1st full season) which features the return of the Cybermen (in a story called "Attack of the Cybermen") which takes place not only on 20th century Earth but on Telos (the home planet of the Cybermen for the uninformed). Another highlight of the new season features Patrick Troughton (Dr. #2) and Frazer Hines (Jamie one of Dr. #2's companions) returning in a story appropriately called -- "The Two Doctors". Can stories called "The Four Doctors" and "The Six Doctors" be far behind ?

Ainely (sp?) did not want to move on to other roles. He ENJOYS playing the Master!! At a con (which I did not attend 8-( ) he was seen BEGGING JN-T to give him back his job (on his KNEES by the way!) > The most exciting news I saw was a new season preview (Colin Baker's 1st full > season) which features the return of the Cybermen (in a story called "Attack > of the Cybermen") which takes place not only on 20th century Earth but on > Telos (the home planet of the Cybermen for the uninformed). Mondas is the Home Planet of the Cybermen. Telos is the planet upon which they were entombed. > Another highlight of the new season features Patrick Troughton (Dr. #2) and > Frazer Hines (Jamie, one of Dr. #2's companions) returning in a story > appropriately called -- "The Two Doctors". Jamie McCrimmon, for those who don't know, is, in terms of episodes, the longest running companion. Sarah Jane Smith runs a very close second, and is by seasons the longest running. (Troughton made about 40 episodes/season, as compared to 20-30 for Pertwee/Tom Baker) > Can stories called "The Four Doctors" and "The Six Doctors" be far behind ? I hope not! I really want to see "The Thirteen Doctors" in about 50 years. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Whoviastically, -- -The Parker Hobbit UUCP: {allegra, seismo}!rochester!rocksvax!sunybcs!hobbit or try decvax!sunybcs!hobbit "When your song is over and the words have all been sung We'll hold on to the meaning.
