Tyler

Is it a coincidence that Russell T. Davies used the surname "Tyler" on both "Queer As Folk" (for Vince and his mom) and on "Doctor Who" (for Rose and her mum)? Why is is so enamored of that as a character name? Are Vince and Rose secretly, distantly related? ;-)

Also, I just realized belatedly, six years after everyone else already realized it, how incredibly auto-biographical "Queer As Folk" really is. I mean, what with Vince/Russell being such enormous fans of Doctor Who. Hmmm!
