This comes up at the moment not only because it's a phenomenon worth noting, but because a special Dr. Who program has been popping up here and there sporadically (again depending on the curiosities of regional syndication) which is even jollier good fun than the regular programs. It's a special anniversary edition running an hour and a half, and the title is "The Five Doctors." Yes, you guessed it — it features all five incarnations of the mutable doctor (for the uninitiate, he has over the past 20 years undergone metamorphosis — physical, mental, and sartorial — four times), gathered together from the various eras of time where they (he) happen(s) to be, along with various of his (their) human cronies from over the years. This momentous event is occasioned by a crisis in the era of the Time Lords from whence comes the Doctor, when the head of the Council is up to no good. Also on hand are Daleks, Cybermen, and other assorted menaces.

That {{Cushing|Peter Cushing}} was unavailable to take part, and Torn Baker spends most of the program stuck in a space warp, doesn't really spoil the fun. A substitute for the one and using the other as a plot device worked out perfectly OK; the fifth, newest Who, as yet unseen here so far as I know, turns out to be as charming as the others. Style and wit will out.
