Hmmm. the note was explictly POV before; in rewriting it, I had it's entry in David Howe's Television Companion Here in mind. However, it might be wise to keep it out.--Sean Jelly Baby? 22:25, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move to The Edge of Destruction

Following the consensus on the move of 100,000 BC (Doctor Who) to An Unearthly Child (see Talk:An Unearthly Child — basically the argument is common usage, not least due to recent DVD release), are there any dissenters to moving this to The Edge of Destruction? If so, speak now, and explain why this is any different; but don't rehash the arguments over AUC. --KJBracey 09:09, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't think of a single good reason not to move it right now; except, perhaps, for the fact that an article called Edge of Destruction already exists. But then, I was always a contrary child (if a little unearthly...!) NP Chilla 17:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

No immediate argument, it appears, so I've moved it. --KJBracey 20:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah - I have an objection. I simply prefer "Inside the Spaceship" because I think it's a more descriptive title. Oh, and I prefer "An Unearthly Child" for the first serial, too. I can't quite see how this move follows logically from whatever discussion happened on An Unearthly Child - there's a bit more history to that one, what with novelisations and videos having been available for AUC since the 80s. AFAIK, the recent DVD release is the first time Inside the Spaceship has been available in any form. PaulHammond 20:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

It was novelised nearly twenty years ago as The Edge of Destruction, which was the title used by, for example, the Lofficier reference works. It's the title of the DVD release, and the title used by the BBC's Who website. —Whouk (talk) 20:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Telepathic issue

It seems to me the business about the "heart of the TARDIS", and the TARDIS perhaps being alive, is the most significant lasting accomplishment of this story. So why is it buried in the "trivia" section? --71.139.18.66 03:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
