<Appeasing the groobie>

   From _BBC Doctor Who 20th Anniversary Special_:

   "If you wanted to, you could now sit in your room, with
Doctor Who wallpaper, or Doctor Who ceramic tiles on the wall,
sipping coffee from a Doctor Who mug, and nibbling on a Doctor
Who Chew Bar, or Easter egg, while you admire your collection
of Doctor Who dolls, your Tardis pencil box, and Doctor Who
posters, or alternatively you could play with your Doctor Who
yo-yo, or browse through your collection of over 80 Doctor Who
books.
   "If it all got too much for you, you could change into your
Doctor Who underpants (if you're a chap), your Doctor Who
sweatshirt and Doctor Who baseball cap, take a few coins out of
your Doctor Who moneybox and go down to your local arcade to
play a Doctor Who video game on a Tardis-shaped machine..."

And from later in the article:

   "'The major consideration is whether or not the product is
relevant to the programme', said Christopher Crouch, of BBC
Enterprises."

Okay.

   But anyway, if you're interested in books or posters (the
two items that I know are available in the states; anyone else
out there in net.land know of any other products?), talk to
your local comic-book store; they usually have sources they
can order from (sorry, grammar fans: "sources from which they
can order").  I have a couple of posters, including a nice
one of the Tardis (the proprietor of the store, when he got
them in, said "why would anyone want a poster of a telephone
booth?").  See my recent note in net.tv.drwho about various
Doctor Who books.

                             "Are you in charge here?"
                             "No, but I'm full of ideas!"
