  Earlier it was mentioned that a New Jersey station made various claims
as being the first station in the US to show the first Pertwee episodes
(those B&W ones, you know).  Well, being a fan of WUNC at Chapel Hill
I would like to mention that they don't often make claims, but they
do produce*.  I have already finished watching Pertwee half naked in
the shower and contorting his new face into new dimensions.  WUNC
has shown between 2 and 4 different sets of episodes per week (the
maximum in the recent past was a daily (weekday) 5:30, a daily 11:30pm,
a weekly movie length Saturday afternoon and a weekly 1 hour Sunday 
night).  They are currently part way through Inferno, which most people
have seen (it's available in color), and hopefully will continue on
with seldom seen Pertwee's for awhile.
  I think other cities started showing these around the new year also
as I have seen a fair amount of conversation in this group mentioning
hings from the early Pertwee episodes.

*:  one of the reasons that they produce is that we pay 'em  (i.e.
donations specified to go to Dr Who come fund raising time); additionally 
this is a college town and there is a larger than usual demand for Dr Who.

So if your station hasn't shown them yet, give them a call, and then
maybe give them some money.
