# They also offered him the standard BBC fee of £1000 in the early 90's to write the script into a book
He wrote back saying that he was sorry he could, but he'd come down with a sliight case of being an international bestselling author:P
He also once drove his porche into Hyde Park roundabout once, as he forgot it was ther:P

# The one that was turned down was "Doctor Who and the Krikkit Men"
which became the basis for Life, The Universe and Everything.
Shada was released on video with Tom Baker doing some linking about 15 years ago - and some of the unused footage from it of the Doctor and Romana punting on the Cam was used in the Five Doctors because Tom Baker refused to take part.
