Possible Story Arc[[edit source]]

I was watching Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks recently and thought how similar Laszlo and Lazarus are. Is there a possible link between Richard Lazurus and Laszlo. I do not mean to say they are related but is it possibly another story arc with Laszlo being saved from death and having a longer life and Richard Lazarus having a longer life too. Obviously, Richard Lazarus died but had the process worked he would have been made younger. Also, the Master mentions [Lazarus Laboratories|LazLabs]] and Richard Lazarus in The Sound of Drums and uses a peice of LazLabs scientific equipment to age the Doctor 100 years, then 900 years. I think this could be a possible minor story arc (obviously not as big or important as the Saxon arc). Has any got any ideas on this please. Botswana41 11:50, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Three-part finale?[[edit source]]

Is this true. I can't really tell. Utopia finished with an enormous cliff-hanger to the next episode, but so did The Almost People and Turn Left. Three-parter or not? BroadcastCorp. 16:10, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

The last three episodes were written by the same person. They are a three-parter. --Bold Clone 16:51, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Why so short?[[edit source]]

I noticed this series had fewer episodes than the preceding and succeeding series.

2007 (this series' year) saw a big TV strike, shortening seasons for many TV shows. However, Dr. Who is a British TV show, and I thought the strike only hit the United States. Am I missing something here? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 19:50, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

No strike effects - and it wasn't any shorter. It was exactly the same length as the other new series (13 episodes + 1 Christmas Special) but the way the three part finale worked meant that there were only nine 'stories' rather than the usual ten; but the series was still the same length with the same number of episodesBaziel 15:32, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

-Removed this for being arbitrary. Why is Sally Sparrow or Joan Redfern notable enough to be listed under there, but not, say, Shakespeare or Lazarus? In short, the section was useless. [[User:Golden Monkey|Golden Monkey]] 16:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
