   Here's another example that's more relevant to us here:   
      
   How many times did we hear that Chibnall and JodiDoc were leaving the   
   show?  Once every season.  Every time we heard that...it was a rumor.   
   The first two times we heard the rumor, it turned out to be false as   
   they both showed up for the next season.  The third time we heard the   
   rumor, it was true...but that fact wasn't verified until it was   
   officially announced by the BBC.
