THIS WEEK IN DOCTOR WHO - March 17, 2000 |
|
The last few times I guest edited this column for Benjamin, some important finds and events in Doctor Who always seemed to have happened such as the discovery of the long-lost first episode from The Crusade. Discounting the announced cancellation of Jim Mortimore's proposed Past Doctor Adventure which was to be titled "Campaign", nothing much exiciting seems to have happened. |

A few minor glitches at two PBS stations in the US occured last weekend. WYBE's transmitter went down due to a major storm and WYIN managed to show a local basketball game instead. Anyway, corrections should be made to elliottbenja...@hotmail.com as he will hopefully be back from England by next week. |
