[net.tv.drwho] Block Data Transfers

A few points to make:
	1) In "Keeper of Traken," the Councillor who was killed by the
	   Melkur looked suspiciously like the Duke of Forgill from the
	   Loch Ness Monster episode.  Was it?

	2) A while ago someone said that since Adric could do block data
	   transfers, it made him too powerful, and therefore he had to
	   be taken off the show.  Well, I just got done seeing Logopolis
	   and I didn't see anyone other than the Logopolitans doing the
	   BDT's.  Did I blink at the wrong time, or does Adric do this
	   stupendous feat with Peter Davison, or was I merely dreaming?

	3) Are block data transfers anything like the Well World equations?
	   (a la Jack Chalker)

	4) Did the Logopolitans actually *create* E-Space (including the
	   Tharrls)?

In "Castrovalva" (immediately following "Logopolis") Adric
is forced by the Master to use block transfer computation to
create the city of Castrovalva in order to lure the Doctor
into a trap.
