The article previously mentioned that the first time she appeared was Dec 23 2010. I changed this to 2009 since that is the obvious timing for the episode. Is there some specific reason to think that this Christmas was a year ahead? --[[User:Jdvelasc|Jdvelasc]] 18:58, January 18, 2010 (UTC) | The article previously mentioned that the first time she appeared was Dec 23 2010.

There is none... The Next Doctor took place in the past, which allowed The End of Time to take place on Christmas 2009. However, this also places Planet of the Dead and The Sarah Jane Advetnures series 3 in 2009, too. But they pretty much fit. | There is none...

Children of Earth was September 2009, SJA series 3 October and November 2009, The End of Time December 2009. Both this years and last years stories take place in the same year as part of Russell T. Davies cleaning things up for Moffat. Seriues 5 Doctor Who seemingly spans 2010. Also, there was apparantly a moment in commentary where Donna's second wedding taking place in early 2010 (spring) was mentioned. People don't realise how the timeline is in sync as of now. All they needed to do was date this year's stories ina certain was to have them take place in the same year as last years stories.

** Just responding to Jdvelasc's question in a slightly simpler fashion, the original date given was based upon the fact that the first 4 seasons established (and maintained) that events on "present day" Earth take place one year ahead. This is due to the events of [[Aliens of London]] which took place in 2006, but was produced in 2005. Beginning with Children of Earth, and continuing with The End of Time (not so much Planet of the Dead, except that it clearly takes place post-Journey's End per character dialogue about planets in the sky) the timeline has apparently been resynchronized so that "present day" stories are once again taking place in the year they're broadcast.

A user has added a note in Behind the scenes suggesting one of the novels identified the Doctor's mother by the name Penelope Gate. This is news to me. I've added a "fact" tag, and have also asked the editor who placed it to provide a source, but if anyone knows what novel(s) are being talked about, we need a citation. And if such a character was introduced in the novels, I think she warrants an article.
