 The ABC here in Oz has been running Dr Who from the beginning, B&W
and all, in competiton to the evening News at 6:00. Only Aunty ABC
could see the logic in that, but I used to be a real fan so I taped
the News and watched... Dr Who ("cutting edge" electronic music
plays...)

da, da, da, dunt
da, da, da, dunt
daaa
da da da dunt... etc  

 I always preferred the original Hartnell Dr Who, at the time I
thought that the Dr Who time-travel format was brilliant; cutting edge
SF that allowed *any* plot to work (electronic music and all), a
ptheme that could go on forever without repeating itself. I loved it!

 I realise that I must have been crazy in the 60s! And I wasn't even
on drugs. Whatta heapa crap! How did I ever think that crap was
clever? but to give you some idea... I liked Crusader Rabbit. Maybe
I *should* have been on drugs instead of going to university.

 Dr Who is either Pommie soldiers running around looking serious (in
berets... but nobody does a whoopsy in their beret), or guys
staggering around like Boris Karloff as Frankenstein, in funny monster
suits. It's pathetic! No wonder Hartnell died. I'd have killed myself.

 But I'm grateful for one thing. The ABC hasn't reached that twit
with the long scarf. They're still working their way through the Dr
Who in the white fright-wig.

 As for a *new* Dr Who series... AAARRRGGGH!

Bob
