From: Scott Turner <v.srt@UCLA-LOCUS> For whoever requested information on a Programme Guide for Doctor Who: The Doctor Who Programme Guide by Jean-Marc Lofficier Vol. 1: The Programmes A Target Book published by the paperback division of W.H. Allen & Co., Ltd., A Howard & Wyndham Company, 44 Hill Street, London, W1X 8LB ISBN 0 426 20139 6 There is also a second volume called ``Who's Who'' which is in dictionary format and covers all important names and plot devices. The Programme book covers the first show through the show on March 21, 1981 (LOGOPOLIS). The edition I have was published in 1981, so there may be later editions available. I got mine from a friend in Dallas-Fort Worth. Sample summary: ``LOGOPOLIS (4 episodes) Writer: Christopher H. Bidmead Director: Peter Grimwade Regular Cast: see 5T above, and introducing Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka) and Peter Davidson (the Doctor). Cast: Anthony Ainley (the Master); John Fraser (Monitor); Dolore Whiteman (Aunt Vanessa); Tom Georgeson (Detective Inspector); Christopher Hurst (Security Guard). Story: The Doctor decides to repair the TARDIS's chameleon circuit and goes to England to find a real police box, thereby falling into a complex dimensional trap devised by the Master. A young air hostess, whose aunt is later murdered by the renegade Time Lord, enters the TARDIS thinking it to be a police box. The Doctor, having been warned by the mysterious Watcher that an enormous trial lies ahead, rushes to Logopolis, a city inhabited by pure mathematicians. There, the Monitor, who is in charge of Logopolis, reveals a copy of the famous Pharos Computer Project on Earth. The Master, who has been interfering with the City in his plans to destroy the Doctor, accidently causes it to stop functioning. The Monitor reveals that the Universe has passed the point of normal heat death and that its life has been extended only by his people's calculations. Realising the consequences of the Master's actions -- the dissolution of the Universe -- the two Time Lords team up together they go to the Pharos Project on Earth, to beam the Logopolitan Program into deep Space. The Master now plans to blackmail the Cosmos into submission, and the two Time Lords begin a fight which causes the Doctor to fall to his death. The Master escapes while the Doctor's body regenerates.'' reprinted here for purposes of review only.
