Eventhough FOX did not put Doctor Who on their Fall lineup, there is still hope (Hey, there WAS a movie made, wasn't there - it ain't dead yet!). You may now want to encourage FOX to have the Doctor as a mid-season replacement, or perhaps encourage the producers of the film (BBC and Universal) to produce it for syndication.

Since the film was a multi-national project, then it would be good if there were also multi-national letters sent - so the BBC addresses are also included (doesn't make a lot of sense for someone in the UK to write to FOX....)

While e-mail messages may be easy to send, they are also easy to delete. If you are really interested in getting Doctor Who on the air, you should send a written letter via Snail-mail - they are much more difficult to ignore than e-mail messages!

General rules of writing to networks - be polite, concise, and check your spelling (unlike what I do). Ranting, screaming, writing in all caps, etc., tend to be ignored and tossed in the circular file cabinet. Don't make demands, threats or other nasty comments - try to be as nice as possible in encouraging these folks to put Doctor Who on the schedule. Form letters also tend to be ignored.

If you don't write the letter, who will?

(thanks to William Taylor, Marcus Dunham, Paul Rhodes, et al, for this info)
