Re: Interesting Facts
The Leicester one was just one alligator rather than an invasion as far as I can remember - I think it was a pet that had been turned loose when it started to get too big

Notice how they rabbit on about someone taking over the transmitter, rather than the far more simple explanation that it came from inside the TV facility where there are a shocking number of points to mix an audio signal in between the studio and the broadcast rig.

Re: Interesting Facts
Apparently the person who did this hoax was caught, he tried it the previous week during Doctor Who but it didnt work. Imagine what the people who watched or heard it on TV live would have thought?
