Evidence! There's a plaque there now, commemorating the event. Oh, and a few more machines too.

Incorrect.. there was only 10 years between them, and Stephen Lewis would have been 46 when the final episode aired.

Venus is way hotter (462 degrees C) than Mercury (184-449 C) though it's much further from the sun.
108 vs 58 million kilometres, since you ask.

Jan Francis was 36-39 when Just Good Friends was filmed.

John Thaw was 33-36 when The Sweeney was filmed.
