[I don't care what the Guide says..........PANIC!]

On 27 Feb 85, the Controller of BBC-1 annouced that Doctor Who has been
cancelled! (This information is from fan-artist Gail Bennett, who received
a 'phone call from Gary Downie, John Nathan-Turner's best friend and author
of _The Doctor Who Cookbook_).

ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW THIS??????

(I hope you all said "NO")

A letter writing campaign has been started.  There are three people who
deserve to hear our complaints (JN-T is not one of them, he had nothing
to do with the cancellation!)  They are:

Director General of the BBC
Alistair Milne
British Broadcasting Company
White City
London W12, United Kingdom

Controller of BBC-1
Michael Grade
British Broadcasting Company
White City
London W12, United Kingdom

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
10 Dowing Street
London, United Kingdom			(After all, Doctor Who is one of
					 Britain's best exports!)

So, start writing!  Prevent the death of a series that should go on for
some 20 more years at least!

(No, I don't know the official reason for the cancellation.  Rumor has it
that it is due to the increase of "Video Violence" on the series, especially
in the 22nd series story "Vengeance on Varos")
