Hmm, I wonder where they got their information...  When I went to the
Portland Whovian Festival (the "travelling con" run by DWFCA), John Nathan-
Turner said that Colin was definitely coming back, and Nicola probably (I'm
sure this has been mentioned before).  And as for the cancellation, I think
we've all found out that it was never officially cancelled, just "rested"
(I have one of the BBC news reports on tape, and it never mentions cancel-
lation) for 18 months, and this plan has not been reversed.  Oh, well, I'll
probably get more information August 11, when DWFCA brings its WhoFest to
Bellingham (hoorah! finally some notice of us Washington State fans!).
