DOCTOR Who fans are on the warpath:
They want to exterminate us for criticising the new series last week.
And they specially hate us for saying the Tardis is a junk-heap-and the Doctor, played by Peter Davison, doesn't seem to know how to mend it...
GET YOUR facts right-the Tardis is not a crate, and it wasn't Dr Who's fault that he set fire to London. The burning torch knocked from his hand.
NICHOLAS POND, Epping Green, Essex.
ANYONE with even a pathetie knowledge of Dr Who, will know that he has never been able to programme the Tardis properly. The banging of the control console has been a regular feature for over a year. Maybe he can't change a spark plug-but he can open alien doors, destroy androids, and create strategical plans of action,
JOHN DOWTY, King William's College, Isle of Man.
THE NEW Doctor isn't an idiot - the Tardis was faulty when he acquired it. As for him setting fire to London would you rather still have the plague around? I certainly would not.
DAVID HANKINSON, 11. Blaby, Leicester.
IT WOULD be a sad day for television if Dr Who returned to Gallifrey. The programme is the longest-running sci-fi show in the world, and the most original and best. The sooner Len Collis gets whisked into a black hole, the better. I bet you don't publish this.
ROBIN CALVERT, Poulton Le-Fylde, Blackpool.
O ENOUGH, enough... we surrender! Dr Who is genius and the Tardis is perfect. Probably the best thing ever made by British Leyland (Gallifrey) Ltd.
And there's absolutely no truth in the rumour that it failed its MOT!
