- Okay, those last two top ten posts have got me into the spirit of things.
- Here are the top ten reasons why BBS axed Doctor Who....
-
- 10. TARDIS console prop deemed too great a safety hazard.
- 9. Unreasonable salary demands from the cyber-union
- 8. Royal Order: plight of Earth after eerily reminiscent of collapse of
- British Empire, and also young Andrew terrified by K9.
- 7. Stickler top BBC execs insist, "London was not invaded by dinosaurs in
- the 1970s!"
- 6. The Gunfighters
- 5. Charlton Heston lawsuit: "After Delgado, role of Master was promised
- to me!"
- 4. Humane society amassing evidence as to true source of
- dematerialization noise.
- 3. Search for Lala Ward's body called off with the horrible realization
- she was inadvertantly broasted with TARDIS rumpus room in Castrovalva.
- 2. Re-discovered episode of the Tenth Planet reveals that rather than
- regenerate, the doctor actually retired to a chickpea farm in Idaho.
-
- And the number one reason why BBC axed Doctor Who....
- 1. The Mara's new host: John Nathan Turner.
