And so, a fitting conclusion to tonight's Doctor Whoadventure, "Snakedance." I have so much good news, I don't quite know where to begin, but let me say that you don't have to wait a week to see the next Doctor Whoadventure, you have to wait less than twenty-four hours, for tomorrow night-- well, actually, tonight, since this is Monday --tonight,at 11:00, the next Doctor Whoadventure, "Mawdryn Undead." More on this subject of a whole week of Doctor Whoin just a moment.
First, let me tell you that we have on duty right now, in a secret place, far from here, but nevertheless viable and efficacious, a group of operators who want to take your subscription to Channel 11. And all you have to do to subscribe and help assure the continuation of the Doctor Whoseries on this station, is to call them... with your subscription at [number deleted].
How much should you subscribe? As much as you can, whatever you can afford, what you think Channel 11 is worth to you, what you think Doctor Whois worth to you. With some of you, it may be a dollar or two. With others who can afford a little more... or a lot more... we have some premiums we'd like to show you.

This one, you've undoubtedly seen before. We've offered it for a little while. It is the... Doctor Whoalbum, containing music from many of your favorite Doctor Whoepisodes, and containing the pictures of five of the men who have portrayed Doctor Who.

The other side of the album... has a representation of the TARDIS and the selections it contains. It comes in a clear, plastic envelope because, as you can see, on this unusual record, all the information is pressed right into the vinyl itself. That is yours with a $50 subscription to Channel 11.
