THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO By Benjamin F. Elliott May 28th, 1999 - Memorial Day Weekend Edition |

Guest Editor's Note: Due to a mishap in communications with the other guest editor of The "This Week in Doctor Who" column and myself and the ISP's news/mail server playing up again, I was unfotunately not able to complete a suitable to print column for this week in time. I assure you that this will be the only week where anything like this will happen. As there was not much news this week, I think I shall proceed to a bare bones version of this column. Please bear with me as this was edited together at the last moment. |
