Ainely (sp?) did not want to move on to other roles.  He ENJOYS playing the
Master!!  At a con (which I did not attend 8-( ) he was seen BEGGING JN-T to
give him back his job (on his KNEES by the way!)

Mondas is the Home Planet of the Cybermen.  Telos is the planet upon which
they were entombed.

Jamie McCrimmon, for those who don't know, is, in terms of episodes, the
longest running companion.  Sarah Jane Smith runs a very close second, and
is by seasons the longest running. (Troughton made about 40 episodes/season,
as compared to 20-30 for Pertwee/Tom Baker)

I hope not!  I really want to see "The Thirteen Doctors" in about 50 years.
