I know it's a bit off topic, but I saw the best banner ad on a humor site recently.
It said "If this banner is flashing, you are a winner!"
And it WASN'T FLASHING!
Actually, if you want more of that strange sense of already-seen, may I suggest you also look at 'The City of Death', again with Mr. T. Baker and Lala Ward. Dirk Gentley lifted the plot. In a way, those two together kind of make a Dirk Gentley movie. You can feel a lot of Adams in the stories and characters (like the P.I. who likes thumping people on the head).
'The Pirate Planet' doesn't remind me of anything, though.
For those who haven't seen the special edition of Shada, I quite recommend it. Some important scenes are missing, including the exciting climax, but strangely, having Tom Baker narrate it works really well. I think it's proof of the charm of the series...losing the whiz-bang-wow special effects of the end doesn't really hurt the overall show.
Obviously we aren't all reading the right literature.
It's already been discovered that our ancestors co-existed with cro-magnon man rather than evolved from him. In fact, we likely caused his extinction. We're just lucky we got off the leaf-currency system before we deforested the entire planet and did ourselves in.
Theta Sigma comes from last episode of the Key to Time series. It was The Doctor's fraternity nickname, if I understood the situation correctly. Either that or it was 'Feta Sigma' due to some strange fetish with greek cheese.
In his third incarnation, he often asked to be called 'John Smith', though he never said it was his name.
The seventh season was well before Peter Davidson's time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was creditted as Dr. Who or Doctor Who back then. It was an evolving series after all. They didn't really 'decide' Timelords regenerated until the fourth Doctor, for example.
Just trying to redefine 'sad'.
"That's traffic control."
