I talked with someone in programming at our PBS station this afternoon
and found out how things work between them and the BBC.
They were offered 74 half-hours of Peter Davison, 74 half-hours of
Jon Pertwee, and 174 half-hours of Tom Baker. They bought it all.
Apparently they don't go by seasons, just so many shows of each
doctor. She claimed they showed all 74 shows of Davison, but I
think they must have missed some somewhere, since we only saw the
first two seasons which is 48 half-hours. To get 74, you have to
include the third season. They're planning a Dr. Who day, maybe
they're saving some of them for that...
I'm curious to know if that's how things work for all PBS stations.

It isn't. We got 2 seasons of Tom Baker, period.
