| − | '''The Black and White Conspiracy Theory:'''
| |
| − | <blockquote>There were contemporary rumors that WTTW did not want to air the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] stories because they were in black and white. WTTW <b>did</b> show them ... once. Only two black and white stories were ever shown a second time: [[Terror of the Autons]] and [[The Mind of Evil]].
| |
| − | <br /><br />
| |
| − | In addition to not repeating Hartnell and Troughton episodes, WTTW also did not repeat the black and white [[Jon Pertwee]] episodes ([[Doctor Who and the Silurians]], [[The Ambassadors of Death]], [[Terror of the Autons]] and [[The Mind of Evil]]) as part of their regular runs.
| |
| − | <br /><br />
| |
| − | [[Terror of the Autons]] was shown as part of a pledge-night special on [[Saturday, March 12, 1988|12 March 1988]]. Ironically, the host jokingly wished that the story could be colorized, forgetting that it had been shown on WTTW in color eleven years earlier.
| |
| − | <br /><br />
| |
| − | On '''16 July 1989''', part 1 of [[The Monster of Peladon]] was mistakenly shown. WTTW rectified their mistake by showing the entire story three weeks later. By showing part 1 twice, WTTW had fulfilled its contract to air each story no more than twice. So when it came time to show [[The Monster of Peladon]] again ('''8 November 1990'''), they couldn't. So they needed a suitable replacement: a six-part [[Jon Pertwee]] story. The only episode to fit that bill was [[The Mind of Evil]].</blockquote></div>
