First off, for those in the St. Louis, MO area, or who will be there,
there is going to be a Dr. Who con at the Holiday Inn Clayton called
"Tardiscon" over the 16-18 August weekend. I have no other info.

Re the Dr's memory: I thought that the initial period after regeneration
was one of loss of memory and confusion, but then, later on, the
newly-regenerated Dr. has all the memories of his predecessors. So then,
why does Tom Baker's Doctor not use the "Venusian karate" or whatever it
was that the preceeding Doctor used repeatedly? There are many instances
where he engages in rough-and-tumble where the use of this one- or
two-finger karate would have simplified things and allowed the story to
progress without delay.
