Did any of my fellow Yanks watch "Shada" on BBC America last night? I thought there were a couple of places I might have liked to cut a line or two or shorten a sequence, but overall, not just good for more leisurely 1980 Doctor Who, but just plain good. (It was a little strange to hear differences in the actors' voices in the dialogue that was recorded in 1992. Lalla Ward's voice particularly sounded deeper to me.)

I haven't read Long Dark Teatime. My husband said that it wasn't as good as the first, so I haven't yet gotten to it.

Yes, Professor Chronotis is in both. Basically, take him and the setting from Shada and the villain's purpose from City of Death, and you have Dirk Gently. Dirk himself, of course, is the Doctor.
