What prog number will it be in 57 years time?

Will it tie up any stories with loose ends?

Yeah, I seem to recall the last end of the world was scheduled for 1999. Mind you, there has been a few 'great kings of destruction falling from the skies' since then, and not just in New York.

Bizarrely, there's always something comforting about this kind of story... "Huge Rock To Destroy All Life In Mere Decades!!" or whatever Newton thought would do it. It takes our minds off the fact that everything we know could be wiped out at any moment by one of a slew of hideous things too numerous to count. If we're lucky it'll be a human hand that triggers it and not a passing black hole. You might not even finish reading this sentence. Hmm, I see you survived - but how about this one? Lucky again.

It didn't say what Newton thought would do the deed... I vote for YE WHORE OF BABY-LON.
