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)
[edit] Melting Clocks
Does this segment deserve a mention? They used it in the documentary about the making of the episode - one of the interviewees explicitly states that they were disappointed about how bad it looked. Anthrcer 14:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hartcons.jpg
Image:Hartcons.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Only episode...
Just wondering, is it worth a mention that this is (correct me if I'm wrong) the only serial to take place entirely within the TARDIS and the only serial not to feature anyone but the Doctor and his companions? (also maybe the only one not to take place in a specific time?) U-Mos 12:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
