Hadn't realised that the misdirection was the same, though (still haven't seen the episode yet).

It was one hell of a coincidence, given that the poison, use of the distinctive formula to misdirect as initials, and the - very specific - delivery method, are identical. That advert is amazing. Did they get permission from you to use that? And did you receive payment? In fact, given the two airings the story has had I can't help feeling that some 'subliminal absorption' must have taken place here. You know, the way you can be reading the centre of a page, and something out of your line of concentration fixes itself in your subconscious? Very, very, strange. ;) scar Hi, Jon, thanks for the mention.
