    Sadly, another station has dropped the showing of "Doctor Who:"
Vermont public television. Last Saturday night during the closing credits
of "Survival" an announcer came on and said, "Due to tightening bugetatary
constraints and decling viewership, Doctor Who will no longer be seen on Vermont
ETV (educational television.)"
    It's sad. Over the last 5 years or so, they've been very good in
running the show, showing from Tom Baker to McCoy twice, (plus being the first
in this area to have McCoy's last season, and not running it with
interupptions) and they ran "Tomb of the Cybermen" weeks before most US
stations, and again WITHOUT pledge breaks. I'll post their address in a
few days for anyone interested in writing a letter to them on behalf of the
good Doctor.                       Is there ANY news of a new series?
