Mr Worf, To the best of my knowledge, the only American influence on the series was that one Fox movie back when with Paul McGann. Interestingly, for quite some time after that, the Beeb refused to acknowledge the existence of that movie. On the official DW page on the Beeb's site, McGann wasn't even named. Some fans will still become irate at the mention of him. The ebst explanation out these is that the Fox movie had McGann's Doctor telling one of his companions, "I'm half-human."

I haven't found any info on that yet. There were some that were financed by the Canadian Broadcasting Company in the late 70s. They also re-aired the show for a LONG time. I found some interesting info about the show here: wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_who There was also a tidbit about the BBC systematically erasing shows to recycle tape! Grrrr!!! Crazy!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
