Why are there so many - Doctor Who titles with death in them?
What is the ob-ses-sion?
Why are there so many - writers who like dying?
It seems a bit much - for fun.
Characters keep on dying while young viewers keep on crying -
But the writers will win their hearts - wait and see.
Some day we'll find it. The Death Title Connection.
The writers, the viewers, and me.
La-da-da-dee-da-da-do, La-la-dee-da-do-dee-da-DO!
