[line eater, go get WTTW for breaking up the stories]

You know what make all of this story counting mute?  WTTW could do what
they should be doing, that is, play the movie form as movie form, without
breaking it up, or play the episode form, which has the natural breaks.

The idea of breaking up the 5 -> 7 part stories into two parts sucks.
The one exception to the rule will be Troughton's "War Games".  Ten parts
IS a little too much for any station to handle at one time.  But, WTTW plays
the Doctor late at night, so 5 -> 7 parts shown all at once wouldn't hurt.

True, breaking up the stories makes them last longer.  Probably the main
reason that it is done.
