* Who fandom was taken by surprise with the announcement that the American network, Fox, was to co-produce with the BBC a made-for-television film reviving ''Doctor Who'', as a possible "pilot" for a new series.

Filming was to take place in Vancouver, Canada, marking not only the first time a ''Doctor Who'' story had 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).
