I guess my contribution was less than epsilon, however, since I'm not in there, and it would seem to be bad form to ask to be added. :-) > Oddly, "Doctor Who" is filed under "Dr Who", but it's an absolutely > exhaustive list of Doctor Who stuff. I just wish I could think of > something to do with it! I think I spent about four minutes resisting a search for Doctor Who stuff; but then, I found that: + both 'Christopher Eccleston' and 'Christopher Ecclestone' are listed in relation to the series + only the new series seems to be listed under 'science fiction' + the only programmes aired in 2006 are all called 'The green death' + the Paul McGann episode is listed with the title '27 May 1996' + 'Bad Wolf' is not a subject category Meanwhile, in other news, the gap between the first and second editions of 'Grandstand' is apparently 28 years, which must be some kind of a record (assuming it's not duff data). -- Frank Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
