Hi, first post on this wikia. I hope this isn't in the wrong place, I wouldn't consider it "speculation" because it doesn't seem to be anything to do with possible events. It's merely a question about if the community has discussed something already. | Hi, first post on this wikia.

Hi, first post on this wikia. I hope this isn't in the wrong place, I wouldn't consider it "speculation" because it doesn't seem to be anything to do with possible events. It's merely a question about if the community has discussed something already.
My brother and I have been noticing the number 57 showing up everywhere. I would have thought this would be something people noticed, but search upon search has yielded no discussion of it.
57 academics, TARDIS Type 57, Article 57 of the Shadow Proclamation, 57 being chosen as "a random number", and many more that I can't name specifically. Clearly, the writers are intentionally doing it.
Has there been any discussion among fans about this? And if so, can someone point me toward said discussion?
Doctor who is not the only series to have repeated references to 57 (Star Trek has had its fair share), but it certainly seems to do it the most often.
