The show was revived in 1996 by the UK's BBC in attempt to revamp the show for British audiences. Viewers were worried that the essential Americanness would be lost but to assuage their fears an American actor was cast; Jeff Golblum's neurotic, excitable Doctor was a perfect fit for 90s audiences. US fans' fears of Britishification proved to be somewhat true when the Doctor controversially didn't kiss his companion! Unfortunately the show was never picked up and Goldblum's Doctor survived only in podcasts which, seeing as it was the mid-90s, nobody was able to download.
