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?

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.

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.

How will he fit in there? From what I remember, K9 was much smaller than a normal-size human.
Ah yes, but you forget - it's much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
Experts agree: everything is fine.

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