- 1988: By the start of 1988, more PBS stations have dropped the series. Lionheart tries the tactic of forcing stations who want the new Sylvester McCoy stories to also buy full runs of older stories - so some stations don't buy either!
SYLVESTER McCOY
Four stories, 14 episodes (also in "movie length" omnibus editions):
| 7D | Time and the Rani | 4 |
| 7E | Paradise Towers | 4 |
| 7F | Delta and the Bannermen | 3 |
| 7G | Dragonfire | 3 |
- Lionheart launches The Friends of Doctor Who, the first and only official US Doctor Who fan club.
