[edit] older entries
We should talk about what exactly are the proper titles for each of the segments of Trial of a Time Lord and/or which ones should be given priority. The pages also need a rewrite, as they are very confusing. -khaosworks 20:46, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Well, Parts 1 to 4 are called The Mysterious Planet, 5 to 8 are called Mindwarp, 9 to 12 are Terror of the Vervoids and 13 and 14 are officially called The Ultimate Foe or Time Inc. Also, in Notes, number 2 is off-colour as the BBC actually agrees with that! Jashank 03:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

- Yeah, a lot of editing between that note and now. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:33, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] mel
is it worth noting that mel came from the future to the trail but leaves with the doctor. she would be living the same things over and over again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billy turner (talk • contribs) 14:18, January 8, 2006 (UTC)
- Probably worth a note, yes. We can also mention that the spin-offs have generally assumed that after the events of the trial the Doctor took Mel back to her regular timeline (his own future), and then waited until he would meet her for the "first" time. I'm heading out now, but will see if I can add something later tonight. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 01:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- The note probably better belongs in The Ultimate Foe. Terror of the Vervoids already notes that Mel comes from the future. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:32, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- Done. But it's pretty long-winded. If anyone wants to tighten it up, please feel free to do so — I was having trouble with the wording of the various "first meetings". What is it that Douglas Adams said about the trouble with time travel being the verb tenses? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Example of parodies of frequent close-up of Doctor's face?
I'm intrigued to read in this article that the frequent close-ups of the Doctor's face in Trial of a Timelord were often parodied; do you have any examples of this, as I've not encountered this information before.
[edit] In Joke
The article states that
"A frequently used in-joke throughout this serial is that, during the showing of the evidence, the Doctor interjects with protests about the overly violent nature of the scenes. "
I watched the serial recently, and I can only remember one instance of this - and that was by the Inqusitor. StuartDD ( t • c ) 19:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
