I see "booby trap" is red-linked. Do we really need a page for that. If a description of the term is needed, wouldn't this be better served through a link to that other wiki? M. Gail P. 04:23, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

First world revisited[[edit source]]

"This marks the first time the Doctor has visited the same alien world, specifically Skaro, a second time."

Actually, apart from Earth the first world he has revisited is Kembel in The Daleks' Master Plan.Holizz 19:40, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

First Revisited Worlds, Revisited[[edit source]]

While Kembel and Skaro were revisited onscreen, the Doctor states that he has already been on Dido before in The Rescue. In fact, his knowledge about the planet and her inhabitants is crucial for the plot. Thus, Dido is really the first of the revisited planets even though the first visit is not shown in any of the serials.

In addition, during The Ark, the Doctor visited the eponymous spacecraft twice in different time periods. Amorkuz 23:42, June 14, 2015 (UTC)

By that logic, Earth could also be the "first revisited planet", insofar as it is made clear in An Unearthly Child itself that the Doctor and Susan have visited other areas of Earth's history already. Beyond that, if we followed a strictly in-universe point of view, we would also have to mention non-TV "missing adventures" including returns to TV settings, such as Return to Skaro.

Victoria's companion status[[edit source]]

After a thorough watch of this story, is it worth while listing Victoria as a companion as she doesn’t even interact with the doctor for a huge chunk of the story.Gearedspy 23:08, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

It is traditional to put a character in the companion field of the infobox of a story if they officially join the Doctor as a companion at the end of that story — even if they're not quite yet in a companion role at the start of the story. Scrooge MacDuck 23:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
