There were very few responses to the NJN poll. This may be in part due to my failure to make more of an effort to get a response from fellow NJN viewers, but whatever the case may be, there were fewer than a dozen responses. The few who did respond indicated a high level of commitment to Doctor Who. Here is a summary of the poll responses, with my own responses also included:
