 * Who fandom is taken by surprise with the announcement that the American network, Fox, is to co-produce with the BBC a made-for-television film reviving Doctor Who, as a possible "pilot" for a new series. The producers announce that Paul McGann has been cast as the new Doctor, but Sylvester McCoy will also appear as the Seventh Doctor, making the film a continuation of the original series rather than a remake or reboot. DW: Doctor Who is scheduled to air in the spring of 1996. Filming is to take place in Vancouver, Canada, marking not only the first time a Doctor Who story has been filmed in North America, but also the first time a story had been completely mounted outside the United Kingdom (previously foreign location filming had been done, with studio filming still in Britain).
