The person who bought the rights to make Doctor Who movies bought the rights to three. The first two were such flops that he never attempted a third, his possession of the rights is now a stumbling block to a potential movie to-day. >By the way, in the movie versions, the right side >door of the TARDIS appears to have a "clover leaf" >type design on it, but I haven't noticed it in >the TV series TARDIS. Is it the same prop? It is not the same prop. BTW I do know where the TARDIS from the movies is located. Call 011- 44-1-481-0826 and ask if it is for sale! :-) (The owner will kill me for that! :-) Seriously, it is on display at "The Doctor Who Shop" in London, and NOT FOR SALE. (They do have other interesting merchandise, if you're ever going over, let me know and I'll give you directions on how to get there.) >Also, on the subject of early Dr. Who, the book >"Doctor Who - A Celebration," lists in the back >that there was a "Pilot" and then "An Unearthly Child." >Is this a mistake? I thought that "An Unearthly Child" >was the first show (repeated the next week) with >"The Tribe of Gum" episodes following it. There was a pilot episode, the episode "An Unearthly Child" was a remake of the pilot, although story-wise it was good, it was technically inferior. >One more question - Is the "proper" name of the >second show (prod. code B) "The Dead Planet" or >"The Daleks"? I think it is "The Daleks" and that >"The Dead Planet" is only the name of the first episode. The names of shows A-Z are usually just the names of the first episodes, but there are some exceptions. "Dead Planet" to "Daleks" is one, "World's End" to "The Daleks Invasion of Earth" is another. On the tape released by Lionheart, although the closing credits were changed, the title at the beginning remained as "The Dead Planet". -- James C.
