text over still image from Doctor Who series 9 episode 11, “Heaven Sent”, of the Doctor standing in front of a semi-translucent barrier:
“there was this emperor and he asks this shepherd's boy... ‘how many seconds in eternity?’
And the shepherd's boy says, ‘there's this [streetlamp] of pure [steel]. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little [dog] comes and [relieves its bladder]…”

well that’s damning. they couldn’t even be bothered to actually use the model life tables (they explained “attributed” tag as “A model (Opus or Fable) claims that this is what the cited source says”)

Regional Model Life Tables and Stable
Populations (2nd ed.), Academic Press (1983), West family model tables, qx (probability of dying) by mortality level” with a tag saying “attributed”
