Douglas Adams Written Dr. Who Episode Goes Into Production

Posted by chrisd 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.

    While I am a marijuana advocate, it should be noted, that pot and slashdot don't mix well.

    Oh, and kids... pot and jr high dont mix well either (excuse the pun). Most of us stopped trying to get people to call us "Wonko the Sane" many years ago. *sigh* The rest moved on to design eco-homes and smoke even more copius quantities of weed at burning man 98.

    Hurrah, I feel so superior when a moderator on crack doesnt understand the meaning of basic english words like ass, hole, and redundant.
