Name[[edit source]]
At the bottom of the page it states that the name of the tribe was never stated on screen. So where does the name come from? MM/Want to talk? 14:34, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm guessing it comes from the working title for the story, The Tribe of Gum; while it's a reasonable guess that it is also the name of the tribe, it is still speculation. Shambala108 ☎ 14:50, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Probably should be moved to the Tribe, since that's in the serial and the novelisation. "The Tribe of Gum" is just a working title for the serial. Since that title was never used, we shouldn't use it either. I think that Thread:122107 has actually given us quite a help with this issue. If, as I suspect, Za's original name was "Gum", then that would solve quite a few mysteries. We should keep our eyes peeled for the answer in DWM 458.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 19:14: Thu 14 Feb 2013- The First Doctor Handbook says that the "likely reason" the story changed from The Tribe of Gum to 100,000 BC is because the tribe "is no longer given a name in the final version of Anthony Coburn's scripts". That's at least citable proof that there is no in-universe thing called "Tribe of Gum".
