We abolished TV licences more than 40 years ago. Waste of money, and why should you have a licence to receive a transmission?

Oh, and I like Dr Who, just can't stand the recent stuff. Tom Baker and John Pertwee were the best.

I kinda agree about the tv license, although I like the recent Doctor Who.

I liked the Doctor's assistants from Susan up until Nyssa. Tegan got a bit annoying, and the others later on didn't have the same impact.

Could be that with my age, I tend to go from what I remember as a kid.

I don't remember those names. Rose(Billie Piper) is the first assistant that I remember.

Donna was the BEST assistant ever.

Thanks for the link.  The PBS station showed the Tom Baker year(s), but the only companions I remember are Leela and K9.

I loved Tom Baker best by far.

[The_Chosen_One]

My favourites were Leela, Jo Grant, Liz Shaw, Nyssa, K9 (of course), Adric and Romana (Lalla Ward).

NASA is routinely out here because most of the lanscape nearby resembles the moon!
