When the [[Eighth Doctor]] mentioned Shakespeare to [[Charlotte Pollard]], Charley objected that he expected her to know all about the "obscure people" and gave Marlowe and [[Ben Jonson|Jonson]] as examples of [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] [[playwright]]s that people had actually heard of. The Doctor was fascinated that she knew of Jonson and Marlowe but not Shakespeare which he claimed was "quite impossible" and this, combined with [[Orson Welles]] not recognising Shakespeare either, inspired the Doctor to search for and discover a [[time fissure]] in the [[16th century]] and eventually that a young Shakespeare had been taken out of time.
