I agree totally.



JNT was a gay Jew.



He fancied his Doctors and he did all he could to extract every bit of financial value he could out of the show, at the expense of good stories, good direction, etc.



Though his latest memoirs, reviewed by Martin in Chameleon Factor No. 80, states that JNT wanted to move on at the end of Seasons 20, 21, 23 25 and 26, but the BBC wouldn't let him.



Now, I ask, why would they let that gay twit not leave? What was the BBCs agenda? Were they aware that JNT was killing the show? Did they want that to happen?



Martin?

...



I can only guess. JNT says they would have cancelled the show instead of bringing in another producer.

Some Stroies I SERIOUSLY Dont Like

Planet of Fire, Revelation of the Daleks,

The Kings Demons, The Gunfighters,Time-Flight, Delta and the Bannerman, The Creature from the Pit,

The Horns of Nimon, The Mind Robber &The Twin Dillemma



I can think of others but thats baiscally my ultimate WORST Stories

I thought The Mind Robber was an excellent story.



The first 3 parts of it were great, although it did lose it's way a bit in the last 2.



With that story, anything was possible and you never knew what could happen next.



I loved the inventiveness of that one - it played with ideas and reality.

no wonder thats out on DVD

How can you NOT like "The Mind Robber"????

Of the two ABC showed in 1986, The Mind Robber is well and away the better of the two!



No matter what the reviewer in the current Wall of Lies thinks...

Dr Who goes psychedelic, and together with "The Invasion", it is the best of Troughton's stories that we can actually watch.

Hmm, short list!

The Tomb of the Cybermen

The Dominators

The Mind Robber

The Krotons

The Seeds of Death

The War Games



And of course...



The Three Doctors

The Five Doctors

The Two Doctors

The Omen



I might have one wrong there...

Wasn't Troughton good in "The Omen"!

(and that was a good film, too.)



Troughton has to be the most under rated actors to play The Doctor, and quite possibly the most under rated Doctor as well. Do you think this may be due to the fact that so little of his stories actually do exist?

I suspect this may be the "my first Doctor" effect...Troughton seems to be well thought of, but generally only comes near the top of people's lists. He and Hartnell suffer from this as they were inaccesible for so long. When fans were polled as to which story they'd like to see most released on video (VHS, Beta and videodisc!) in 1983, Tomb came number one! So the BBC released Revenge...

Wait a minute, are you saying that he actually is really popular? I don't quite understand what you mean.

Yes--it's the contoversial ones who tend to rate low, Patrick's probably everyone's second or third favrourite!



Hmm the online poll I found <a href="http://www.unitnews.co.uk/forum/poll.php?s=d5e34c7f3a8cedc8e5e5fa27da9e05c2&do=showresults&pollid=25">here</a> puts him way down the list!

are we going to see some episodes from series 2 in the next General Meeting? 20/5

Do you mean series 2 of Troughton or series 2 of Tennnant.

If it's Troughton, we have cause to celebrate!!!!!
