	Our PBS station here in Cleveland (WVIZ - 25) announced
a similar sounding purchase during their last drive.  They also used
the 1991 date.  According to their station manager this included ALL
the available shows, from the start, through the 23rd season. (Yes
23rd, not 22nd.)  They will be starting from the earliest shows as
soon as Pertwee "dies", and working, in order, through all the
Doctors, with C. Baker showing up in 1991!  (I'm not sure that I can
wait THAT long to see Colin Baker.)  I guess that 1991 figure is
based on showing a full adventure each week, as that's how they are
showing it now (from midnight to sign-off every Saturday night).

	What a chance for some long-term video taping!
