Where is this information coming from?

We need to be careful with information that is not specifically given in the credits. What's the source for claiming that he's played by Gatiss?

Never mind; found the source. Placed it on the Mark Gatiss and, I think, VotD pages. CzechOut | 00:58, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Name

As this character is not in the credits, we have greater liberty to name the article. Would it not be more appropriate to name the character by his call sign, "Danny Boy", since that's a bit more precise? CzechOut | 23:57, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we could call him 'Spitfire Pilot "Danny Boy"'? --Samoth 09:05, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
