Also, considering the very first Doctor Who in '63 was overshadowed by the death of JFK, did anyone else find it spooky that the first episode for 16 years was followed by a newsflash about the death of an ex-Prime Minister?
Yes, that was distinctly weird. Also, the start dates for the original series (23/11/63) and the new series (26/03/05) both come to '16' if you add up the digits! Erm, or have I read too much into this? [:]NUT[/:]
