The explosion of the Dalek Fleet sounds a lot like the credit wrap  from the classic series from around the 5th  through to the end.

== Time Lord Soldiers ==
 
Honestly, I believe the soldiers in this episodes would've been the Chancellery Guard. Now, I'm not sure if that is 100% accurate, but I think it is. Feel free to disregard this though, but thoughts?

== Guinness World Record ==
 
I'm not sure how or where this should be added, but this program set a world record for largest ever simulcast. Steven Moffat was actually presented with the award before the premiere. Full story is on [http://www.doctorwho.tv/whats-new/article/guinness-world-record-for-the-day-of-the-doctor the BBC website]. —[[User:RRabbit42|RRabbit42]] (<small>

Someone saw that the window in the TARDIS isnt broken in the s07e14 ep? [[Special:Contributions/82.149.184.178|82.149.184.178]]<sup>[[User talk:82.149.184.178#top|talk to me]]</sup> 18:35, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

The "infamous" Police constable? Why is he ''in''famous? What did he do wrong? {{unsigned|Nitro-9}}
 
== thirteen TARDISes ? ==
 
If you look closely at the Doctors appearing in the War Room “screens” you can see two different Seventh doctors from a very different point in their timeline (one looks like the Doctor in season 23 and the other looks like the Doctor in the 1996 movie). It's so obvious that it can't be a production error. So it's likely that there were actually 14 TARDISes in that scene. {{unsigned|Nitro-9}}
: It's not possible for two versions of the Seventh Doctor to appear at the same time, as there's no logical reason for this to happen. Let's just regard this as a production error. [[User:Gokyr586|Gokyr586]] [[User talk:Gokyr586|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:19, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 
==Stock Footage Origin?==

== Prequel? ==
 
Is ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' considered a prequel to this episode? [[User:Craig Bennett Stiles|Craig Bennett Stiles]] [[User talk:Craig Bennett Stiles|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:15, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 
This article seems inaccurate too me, as it was pretty clear that the Curator was the Doctor, and almost as certainly a future version, who had chosen one of his favorite old faces. This would seem to me to be even more evident, because, as the Curator is clearly the Doctor, he would have to be a future version, as he has knowledge which was unknown by the current Doctor. People may want it to have been ambiguous, but it really wasn't.

== Companion Photos ==
 
Of the companions seen in the photographs on the board, a few are not yet listed. This includes Sarah-Jane Smith (36:59, center, beside the sole picture of Rory alone), Jack Harkness (36:59, bottom of the board, I recognize that hair anywhere) Martha Jones (37:08, bottom right), Mickey Smith (37:08, beside Martha, requires frame by frame as he only appears for 8 frames).{{unsigned|Benderboyboy}}
 
== Ten's Console Room ==
 
Is it just me, or is Ten's console room somehow different from the one from ''The End of Time''? It seems smaller, its not on multiple levels and the incline from the door to the console is now flat...{{Unsigned-anon|69.86.113.167}}
 
==Flying-Dalek things==
What are those blue flying dalek things in the Fall of Arcadia? Are they daleks or just ships? [[User:Darthleapyous|Darthleapyous]] [[User talk:Darthleapyous|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:15, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

== Point that keeps getting removed for no reason ==
 
Repeatedly now, a point I have been putting in the continuity section has been removed for no apparent reason. This is what I had posted about the opening scene.
: ''The opening scenes mimic the original open to [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]''. The opening titles are the original Hartnell titles with the BBC logo added. The first shot shows a police officer going by a sign for [[76 Totter's Lane]], and the second shot is set at Coal Hill School as class dismisses. Clara is now a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]]. A sign shows that [[Ian Chesterton]] is chairman of the school's Board of Governors, also showing that a [[Waris Hussein|W.]] [[Anthony Coburn|Coburn]] is headmaster.
At first it removed the statement under the pretense that statements in the continuity section had to be in an in-universe point of view (something which I had seen another admin dispute slightly before) and that the only difference between ''Continuity'' and ''References'' is weather it was in-universe or not. I messaged the admin who had reverted my edit, and informed him why he was mistaken, but now my edit is still being reverted because what I stated is "already listed in story notes" despite the fact that only the reference to the titles is stated there, and the fact that " [there is] no need for it to be in TWO sections," despite the fact that removing this leaves a gap in the continuity section where this information is not present. I would like now to add this statement without it being continuously reversed for reasons bizarre. I will not re-add it until further discussion occurs.

:It's '''your opinion''' that this item has been removed for "no apparent reason". As I have stated '''multiple times''', your post is more of a behind the scenes item. In fact, when I tried to move it from Continuity to Story Notes, it '''was already there'''. We don't put the same item more than once on a page. That's valid reason enough, despite your disagreement.
 
:As for a "gap" in continuity, there is no such thing. Continuity is simply a list of things that relate to other stories. Your item shows a similarity between '''scenes of an episode''' (opening titles, BBC logo, first and second shot), which is production, i.e. behind the scenes, information. The item '''is on the page''', just not in the section you want it to be.
 
:One more thing. '''Please stop using language like "no apparent reason" and "reasons bizarre" to describe other people's edits'''. You are not yet breaking [[Tardis:No personal attacks]], but continued language like this may be construed as personal attacks.

== Two Important Points ==
 
Point One: From the Tenth Doctor's point of view this episode is between 'Waters of Mar' and 'End of Time'(during his "farewell tour). However the sonic screwdriver he uses is colored wrong. It is colored as it appeared during the Ninth's tenure and up until 'Smith and Jones' for the Tenth. The one he should have had would have been silver/gray in color.
 
Point Two: The Eleventh Doctor's console room now has a platform in front of the console directly a crossed from the doors. This was most likely add for support of Clara's motorbike and may not be a permanent addition to the console room.

==The second Strax video==
Aside from the one shown in theatres, the BBC also released a second Strax video telling people to get off social media and watch the movie. This should be mentioned - but does anyone know where it was distributed? Did they actually upload this to social media sites or was it just a gag for Youtube? It might not hurt to make reference to the Strax Field Report videos too.

==Suggested note addition to credits==
I suggest the footnote next to John Hurt's name in the cast credits be expanded to note that he is fourth-billed in the opening credits, but in the closing credits he is billed between McGann and Eccleston as per his Doctor's placement in the chronology. Otherwise it's possible someone might come along and move him up to 3rd position after Smith and Tennant since he was one of the 3 primary Doctors in this story.

Good suggestion but John Hurt was billed fifth in the opening credits after Billie Piper. --[[User:Tripodssj6|Tripodssj6]] [[User talk:Tripodssj6|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:36, December 9, 2013 (UTC)
 
'''Curse of Fatal Death'''
 
When Clara asks the Doctors what their promise is - in reference to ''The Name of the Doctor'' - they say "Never Cruel, Never Cowardly." This exact phrase is used by Emma to eulogize the Doctor in the comedy short. Of course, Fatal Death was written by Stephen Moffat.
