["Would you mind not standing on my chest, my hat's on fire!"]
Well, it's been a long hard road, but I made it. After being down for two
weeks getting 4.2 installed, I had a lot of news to catch up on (net.flame
alone was of prodigious!). Unfortunately, this newsgroup, while one of my
favorites, was also one of the last. But, here I am, and I see several as
yet unanswered questions into which I will insert my 2 telmars.
Re: Why Jon Pertwee quit.
Jon and Roger Delgado (the original Master) were good friends, and after
Roger's tragic death in a car accident, Jon felt it was best that he quit the
show. All this comes from ``DOCTOR WHO: A Celebration''.
Re: Regenerating clothes.
The only regeneration I've seen is half of Jon Pertwee/Tom Baker's, in
"Robot". At the beginning of the episode, he is in fact dressed in Jon
Pertwee's outfit (leading to a wonderful scene in which he repeatedly ducks
into the TARDIS, to come out wearing various bizarre costumes, with the
Brigadier et. al. finally okaying the one which is so familiar to us.). As
an aside, the "Trademark" long scarf was a complete accident. The costume
designers gave the pattern and material to a lady to be knitted, but she got
a bit carried away, and used up all the material they'd given her!
Re: The episode guide.
I am nearly finished with an updated and corrected version of the program
guide with several additions as well. (What else was I supposed to do while
june was down?) It should be ready in the next couple of days, so hang on!

"And what does that mean?"
"Four!"
