Technically was looking for an episode number based on the math shown previously which in theory should have been #116 Logopolis.

Serendipity strikes ... That was very first episode I ever watched.

However this evening after I pulled out the previous Dr. Who episode I decided that "The Cat Returns" sounds like a good place to start

Here is some fun, watch Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and tell me what is wrong with Brian and Rory piloting the Silurian spaceship away to safety?

I'll give you a hint "seating arrangement"

New trivia question.

What is The Doctor's lucky number?

It was revealed during Tom Bakers time as The Doctor.

So what is it and in what episode was it revealed?

Well do not know if it is a first or last name for the officer in the episode "Daemons" but it was just noticed by me while watching it his evening.

Sargent Osgood ... um brother and sister or cousins ....

You all remember Osgood in the 50th anniversary episode ...

New trivia the character in Clash of the Titans (1981) who played the warrior at the gates of Joppa and answered Perseus questions also starred in a Dr Who episode during the Tom Baker years.

Can you name which episode?

Guess we have a few people that are not as obsessive as me since no one answered the previous questions

It happens ...

The real fun is this you all know all the rubbish spread about the other rocket group. Found out something interesting about it while I was out there and that is the booster is brought back down and landed in an upright orientation.

Compared to what used to happen to each stage of a rocket in the past that was intriguing to my mind. So no more discarding of the "booster rocket" that should save a couple of dollars since they now be reusable. Saw a video of the booster coming down and it is in the middle of the ocean on a specially designed ship. Pretty cool the video was I thought ... anyway here is the truth bomb.

That sounds pretty high tech and fancy yes, considering that we haven't got around to doing it till now.

Here is the cool part in "The Seeds of Death" w/Patrick Troughton they land a rocket on the moon with them in it, in the same orientation, upright and vertical.

The episode was aired originally in 1969 ... yes 1969

Watching a very old episode in which the dreaded fluid link was first mentioned and discussed, and ye old Doctor is one of those that is so forgetful that he never carries any of the fluid that is essential.

What the hell, so guess what there are another two episodes that I can recall off the top of my head where the fluid link was central to the story.

So why is first off such a random fluid "mercury" the one of choice and just how is it that they can find it whenever they need it regardless of where they happen to be ... how convenient.

And why does he never have any extra?

Sounds about right to me
