It'€™s like an 11pm pub conversation, only anyone can join in. And then there'€™s some people who€™'ve performed above and beyond the call of duty, who €“- like the incredibly geeky conspiracy theorists that they are €“- have freeze-framed DVDs, blown up stills and pulled together seemingly unrelated threads to present to the world, as though sprung fully-formed from the head of Zeus, the looniest theories known to man: all so we don€™t have to.

This self-sacrificing dedication to television geekery is to be commended - no, applauded.

Here are the best of the bunch to date: a countdown of the most insane fan theories about television shows that made us stop, laugh, shake our heads and then go€ hang on€ There are a few spoilers here, for those who care about such things - and no, no St. Elsewhere or Tommy Westphall on the list.
