   One small point....Pertwee's regeneration was forced, no his own
   choice, unlike Romana I to Romana II's was.  It's probable that his
   system was fighting the change and that he was in a state of shock.
   It happens to the best of us.:-)  Just wait until you see me after
   my next exam.  You'll think Pertwee was in great shape next to me.
