:: I always thought it was a toffee the Doctor ate, not a boiled sweet. {{User:Aquanafrahudy/Sig}} 17:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC) | :: I always thought it was a toffee the Doctor ate, not a boiled sweet. {{User:Aquanafrahudy/Sig}} 17:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC) | ||
:::I was just correcting the BrEng as I saw it, but looking back at the scene on iPlayer, it looks like it could have been a toffee, or a butterscotch, based on the wrapping style. Does anyone comment on the kind of sweets they are when Cyril gives them? Is it more obvious what they are in the new animation? If not, using "boiled sweet" as a stand-in for "a sufficiently hard confectionary that would break a tooth if you accidentally bit into it" doesn't strike me as particularly NO RW-ey. Or, otherwise "hard sweet" as in "a sweet that was hard", and I accidentally jumped the gun in BrEng-ifying? Not sure tbh - [[User:CodeAndGin|<span style="color:green" title="CodeAndGin">CodeAndGin</span>]] | [[User_talk:CodeAndGin|<span title="Talk to me">🗨</span>]] | 17:25, 17 June 2024 (UTC) | :::I was just correcting the BrEng as I saw it, but looking back at the scene on iPlayer, it looks like it could have been a toffee, or a butterscotch, based on the wrapping style.

:::: The only comment given in the original serial is this: | |||
::::: DODO: They're Cyril's sweets. | |||
:::: And in {{cs|The Gunfighters (TV story)}} we have only: | |||
::::: STEVEN: it serves you right for eating that sweet. | |||
:::: And in the two novelisations the sweet is omitted entirely. So I must have just imagined it. Probably best just to say "sweet", because it's not ''necessarily'' a very hard sweet, like I said, it could just be a very very sticky toffee. {{User:Aquanafrahudy/Sig}} 17:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
