KhaosWorks: The placement of the screen grab seems fine and that seems like the best spot to have it. Tim! ( talk) 08:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
In the RT, Gatiss said the original script was much darker, worth mentioning in passing?
After cocking up the gas business, I'll start here first. The Gelth inhabit dead bodies because the dead generate gas, but presumably the newly departed aren't gassy (Victorian diets aside) so how do they turn them (eg Redpath and Sneed) into "zombies" GraemeLeggett 12:41, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
When the Doctor says that the future can change just like that, doesn't that completely contradict the storyline of The Aztecs?
The Time Meddler contradicts The Aztecs so nothing new eh, otherwise the Monk would be no threat. Tim! ( talk) 20:14, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
And in the later episode, where Rose tries to save her father, he has to die regardless or everybody is destroyed.
"Author and Faction Paradox creator Lawrence Miles posted a damning review[1] ( http://www.beasthouse.fsnet.co.uk/who03.htm) of this episode on the Internet"
The content on that page currently says "Go away. I'm thinking about it." It said that last time I looked, abour two or three weeks ago. Should the link go?

Oh, that's a better solution. Great. Telsa 07:28, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
Is there a source for Terry Nation being the reason for the Llandaff reference? I ask because it's also where BBC Wales have their headquarters, which I had assumed was the reason. Angmering 00:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Off-topic, I'm afraid, but: For those of us not in the UK, why does Rose stop dead in her tracks upon hearing she's in Cardiff? Ditto for the Doctor saying he's about to die in Cardiff? Thanks. Proteus71 21:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Cardiff is not seen (by outsiders, at least) as the most exciting place in the world. The scene is a bit tongue-in-cheek, when you consider the new series is filmed/produced in Cardiff. Forget criticisms of earth-centric stories, the fact is, the Doctor (in all incarnations) appears to have a preference for the south of England. Even BBC Wales is having trouble escaping... How often do we hear (in other media)reporters/journalists/weathermen/economists name every county in the south of England, then refer to 'the north and Scotland' as one entity and ignore Wales altogether. The general feeling is well summed up by 'Margaret Blaine-Slitheen' in 'Boom Town'. Rough quote: 'The whole of Wales could fall in to the sea and no one would notice.' So... for some reason, the new series of DW is stuck in London... but the writers can still laugh about it. Gwinva 08:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Doctor gives Rose some very complicated directions to the TARDIS wardrobe: "First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, fifth door on your left." This establishes that the interior corridors of the TARDIS beyond the console room still exist despite the redesign, and echoes a similar conversation between Romana and Chris Parsons in the uncompleted serial Shada about where to find the TARDIS medical kit. The presence of such mundane items as rubbish bins recalls The Invasion of Time, where the TARDIS interiors resembled an Earth-style building (complete with a swimming pool).
Diddn't Shada actually get finished by the BBC I've seen it and it looks like it was completed as they realeased a finished Special Edition of Shada on VHS some time ago. It was actually a good episode... An Apple a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. Or does it! (talk) (contribs) 12:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Should this not have a spoiler warning so that people who have not seen it will be warned?

Has anyone spotted any reference to Jack Harkness in this episode? Jack states in the episode Utopia that after the events with the Daleks in 200100, he warped back to 1869. Robin.lemstra ( talk) 13:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Worth mentioning the reference to the story in The Unicorn and the Wasp?
"Coincidentally, writers Mark Gatiss and Russell T Davies were both born in Swansea."
Errrrr...why does Mark Gatiss' wiki page say Co. Durham then? RTD was born in Swansea, but there's no "coincidentally" about it so I think this section should be removed. As Mark Gatiss' page might be wrong (unlikely considering his school is listed and it's also Co. Durham) I have left this to someone else to deal with 78.86.230.62 ( talk) 20:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The plot consistently refers to Charles Dickens as "Charles". I think it would sound more natural to write "Dickens" - that's how we all think of him if we think of him using one of his names. So maybe it sounds a bit weird writing "Rose" and "Dickens" in the same sentence, but I still think it sounds even weirder calling Charles Dickens just Charles.

The reference to Burke and Smith is incomplete. I'm very new to editing and know little HTML, so I'm probably not the person to fix the article. BUT, here's the info that would be needed:
Burke, Graeme; Smith, Robert (2012). Who Is the Doctor: The Unofficial Guide to Doctor Who: The New Series. ECW Press. ISBN 978-1550229844.
Once the full citation is corrected, the question mark should be removed after "Smith" in the body of the article.
