:The simple answer is no, because that's an out-of-universe source for potential in-universe information. The Doctor's comment about Tesla coming from 1900 can inform our coverage, but details in official synopses that don't make it into the finished story, as broadcast, can't count for us as valid sources for in-universe information.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 20:07, January 20, 2020 (UTC) | |||

The Year
Not sure if this counts as the source, but the description of the episode on iPlayer states the year as 1903. However, knowing that this isn't stated in the episode - can we say that this story took place in 1903 for this reason or not? StevieGLiverpool ☎ 17:36, January 20, 2020 (UTC)
- The simple answer is no, because that's an out-of-universe source for potential in-universe information. The Doctor's comment about Tesla coming from 1900 can inform our coverage, but details in official synopses that don't make it into the finished story, as broadcast, can't count for us as valid sources for in-universe information.
