Dr Who This article is within the scope of WikiProject Doctor Who, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Doctor Who and its spin-offs on Wikipedia.

There is no proof or confirmed airdate for this episode, so I edited the speculated air date out.

[edit] Should we really have that speculation section?

Doesn't it contravene Wikipedia is not a crystal ball? --GracieLizzie 19:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank's Josiah! --GracieLizzie 00:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't even notice your question, GracieLizzie — I just took the section out on principle as soon as I noticed it. Good that we're on the same page, though. :^) —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 03:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
It's good to know that we have people dedicated to keeping the WHO pages nice and verifiable. Some of the other pages on Wikipedia are a complete mess! --GracieLizzie 13:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


Some more details apparently in the Manchester Evening News: see [1]. This one is set on a spaceship... Does anyone have access to MEN to confirm? Morwen - Talk 15:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Numbers in title

Is it really noteworthy that this is "the first time that numbers have been used as opposed to being spelt out (i.e. The Three Doctors) since Galaxy 4 (1965)"? My feeling is not. I'm not even certain about the "shortest title" note, but I can't see how indicating whether numbers in the title are spelled out or not is encyclopedic. Thoughts? —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 21:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Normally I'd agree but I think RTD actually made a point of the fact it was numbers and not words. Of course this could have been him just making sure the reporter (I think it was in DWM) wrote it down correctly, then they quoted him for some reason. --GracieLizzie 22:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Production block contradiction

There was info in this article that contradicted stuff in the List of Doctor Who serials article -- I commented out the offending portion, but if the info here was correct, please feel free to reinstate (and fix the other article instead). --Jay (Histrion) (talkcontribs) 19:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
