Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production

on from the let-go-of-my-coat-tegan dept.
oddsheep writes "The BBC have announced they will be showing a new version of an episode originally written by Douglas Adams and that was never shown after industrial action halted the original production in 1979." "Shada" will star Paul McGann as the Doctor.
So what's this episode going to be called? The Hitchhikers Guide to the Space-Time Continuum? So Long and Thanks for All the Who?

If its thanks for all the Who, then should the theme song be changed to Teenage Wasteland or something?
Although, that sounds like a good final album for them "So Long and Thanks for all The Who".

Shada, which was originally planned to conclude Dr Who's 17th season, finds the doctor teaming up with Romana (Lalla Ward) and K9 (John Leeson) in trying to track down the most dangerous book in the universe.
I think someone already did that. I get emails all the time offering "the most dangerous book in the universe" for sale.

From the article: "...Dr Who's 17th season, finds the doctor teaming up with Romana (Lalla Ward) and K9 (John Leeson)..."
So is K9 going to be some guy (John Leeson) in a suit??? How will he fit in there? From what I remember, K9 was much smaller than a normal-size human. Is John Leeson some kind of midget?
I wanted to be the next doctor. Everyone else has their turn.

Speaking of Leela (Louise Jameson), what about in the Sunmakers episode when she's climbing up the ladder and then passes the camera side-on with her crotch at camera level... she's got no damn underwear on under that little leather loin skin. Man when I was 10yo I thought that was the sheeite!

Audio? Like, a radio show?
Nothing big will ever come out of a radio show. =)
I thought Pierce Brosnan was the new Doctor. Oh wait...
No.. but in a sudden change of heart (after certain key BBC execs found new BMWs outside their houses) the Doctor will no longer use the tardis and will instead drive a BMW.

Yeah, to me Tom Baker *IS* the Doctor. What I really want to know is... when will he get the TARDIS' chameleon circuit fixed? Will K9 be in the show? Is the Brigadier still alive? The Master?

Since when has that ever been a handicap for playing The Doctor?

..maybe like the good doctor, Douglas Adams doesn't really ever die. ;)
Sigh. I hope.
hey do you think i can get people to call me "Wonko the Sane?" Or how's about "Wonka the Insane"
(pardon the gibberish, i am a tad intoxicated)
Would you settle for "Not Quite Jake the Intoxicated"?

If it's not available in OGG, I want nothing to do with it.
yes, this is a joke. Seems to be the prevailing whine on slashdot for OGG to I thought i'd throw my 0.02 in as well

no sig.
"Who. Doctor Who."
I'd like a jynnan tonix, shaken, not stirred.
Also, Dame Judi Dench will appear as Romana.
