 '''Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate''' was a brand of [[chocolate|chocolate bar]] on [[Earth]] in the [[20th century]].
-Having escaped the [[Robot Yeti]]'s deadly [[web]] at [[Monument tube station]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and Driver [[Evans]] stumbled across [[St. Paul's tube station|St. Paul's]] where there was a platform vending machine selling bars of Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate. Fancying some chocolate, Evans tried the machine without inserting any money and discovered, to his surprise, there was a [[chocolate]] bar in the machine's open compartment.

-* The name Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate was obviously inspired by the real-life [[Wikipedia:Cadbury Dairy Milk|Cadbury Dairy Milk]]. It was an in-joke reference to director [[Douglas Camfield]], and complied with the BBC's policy of not displaying brand named products on-screen.
+* The name Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate was obviously inspired by the real-life {{w|Cadbury Dairy Milk}}. It was an in-joke reference to director [[Douglas Camfield]], and complied with the BBC's policy of not displaying brand named products on-screen.
-* Although ''The Web of Fear'' episode three is currently missing from the BBC archives, the aforementioned in-joke is fortunately immortalised in [[John Cura]]'s [[tele-snaps]] — one of which is a cutaway shot of the chocolate bar, with its name clearly visible, being removed from the vending machine by Evans.
+* This reference originates from the reconstruction of the currently still missing episode three, using [[John Cura]]'s [[tele-snaps]] linked up to the original soundtrack, as featured on the 2013 DVD release of the story. It does not appear in the original episode, nor is it represented in any of the existing tele-snaps. The animated colour version of episode three depicts the chocolate bar wrapper as being purple with white lettering, the uniform colours of Cadbury Dairy Milk.
+* As episode three has yet to be recovered, it remains unknown as to whether the chocolate bar wrapper was shown in detail on-screen and what name it bore. Bearing in mind the vending machine shown in the episode three tele-snaps was unbranded, it is likely the wrapper may have been likewise.
