Here’s a happy little email we just received from our friends at Morgan’s Organs, which we here at TVWriter™ like to think of as “the little comic book that not only ‘could,’ it did.” Congrats, Morgansters!

Want to Watch an Infamously Missing 1967 ‘Doctor Who’ Episode?
If your answer to the above question is “Yes,” (and it should be because we’re talking about the serial The Faceless Ones from the first season of Second Doctor Patrick Troughton/s run on classic Doctor Who), then this newly animated version of one of the episodes the BBC unfortunately deleted from its archives because, hey, they could, is for you.

Latest WGA-Talent Agency Campaign Update: WME and CAA
by Larry Brody
Here’s where we as WGAW members stand. This email went out to Writers Guild of America West last Friday. And, yes, it’s important even if you aren’t a member because these issues affect the way all of our fun little industry called showbiz is run.
Today, the WGA sent both WME and CAA a proposal that outlines the steps each of them must take in order to be in compliance with the 20% ownership cap on production affiliates in the franchise agreement. At the same time, we sent them a renewal of our initial information request, which they have, up to this point, only partially satisfied.
