Eight years. I mean seriously -- eight years!

Oh the banners crying out to be made there...
 Dr Who celebrates its 50th anniversary this year*. Just sayin'.  * (Okay, it wasn't on every year of those 50, there was a 'break' for a while, but hey, come on, have to fight our corner...  )

BTW Stu didn't Doctor Who launch in '63?? |

Looking forward to celebrating that anniversary *and* Oppy's ninth year on Mars next year, then.  Good point about THE SKY AT NIGHT. The longevity of that series was brought up recently when a certain "misbehaving astronomer" suggested Neil deGrasse Tyson was the most well-known astronomer on the planet. -------------------- |
