Weird things I think about
There are about 158 episodes in the original run of Doctor Who, if you take a "serial" to be one episode, include Shada, do not divide "An Unearthly Child" from "the Tribe of Gun", and take "Trial of a Timelord" to be four episodes. And don't count Paul McGann or Lost Season 23.
There are about 87 episodes (so far) in the New Series of Doctor Who, if you don't count shorts but do count Christmas Specials and consider two-parters with distinct names to be distinct episodes. And don't count Paul McGann. (70 if you consider two-parters to be a single episode each).
If they maintain the current season and episode format, that means that as of the 2016 Christmas Special (Season 37 or Series 11, depending on how you're counting) there will be as many episodes in the New Series as in the Old Series. Not counting Paul McGann. (If you take the other strategy for counting New Series episodes it'll take a bit longer and be a lot harder to predict, since there aren't a regular number of multipart episodes per season).
There will only ever be one truly canonical Paul McGann episode :(
There will still be more Classic Who in watch time, of course, because of drastically different episode formats. But the crossover point is actually on the horizon o.O
