| BBC2 Repeats are no more |
 The Tom Baker story "Genesis
of the Daleks", which
finished its six episode run on Tuesday 29th Feb, appears to be the
final story to be shown
in BBC2's repeat schedule.
According to the
Radio Times no more Doctor Who stories are being shown on Tuesday evenings. At
first this may have been just a temporary pause but it now seems that this is
more permament.
This is
a great dissapointment especially considering only 3 stories ("Spearhead
From Space",
"Doctor
Who and the Silurians" and "Genesis
of the Daleks") have been
shown so far. It seems far to soon for the BBC to consider cancelling
the repeats
especially as it has just started showing Blakes Seven on Saturday
afternoons. Personally I was really looking
forward to seeing "Colony
in Space"
and even a black & white version of "The
Ambassadors of Death" both
of which have not been released on video yet.
According to the BBC this is due to lower than expected viewing
figures hence the jump to the classic Fourth Doctor Dalek story to try and
generate more interest. Unfortunetly this proved not to work and so the repeat
run was cancelled.
Exactly what is planned for any future schedule and if
any further stories at all will be shown in the future is unclear.
