I'm with you on that one. I only wish Doctor Who was brought back to TV. It
does exist in various other formats at the moment via independent production
companies, who are doing it in much the same way Hawkwind were giving
themselves different names due to copyright. But a proper new series is what
we need. Doctor Who has far more scope to offer than virtually any other SF
production.

And it was rumoured at one stage that Hawkwind was going to do some
instrumental music. The script editor at the time was a HW fan.
