Guess again.  The discussions in the BBC are not guaranteeing the
return of the Doctor.  No final decision has been made on the number 
of episodes, but Micheal Grade and Bill Wenham desire only 14 
episodes (Micheal Grade desires the return only if the new BBC
SF show flops, it sounds like it should...).  No decision will
ba made until budget time later this year.  The whole original crew
will return.

Additionally, the British government is looking into allegations
of price fixing by Micheal Grade.

More details later.
