TENTH DOCTOR AND DONNA NOBLE[[edit source]]
Since in the Girl Who Died, the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble appear in flashback can we put it in the category tenth doctor television stories? --5.71.219.12talk to me 11:45, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
- No. A flashback is only a flashback. It doesn't make it a Tenth Doctor television story, nor a Donna Noble appearance. --DCLM ☎ 12:05, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
Then, why is it counted as an appearence on Tenth Doctor - list of appearances? --5.71.219.12talk to me 12:10, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
- It shouldn't be. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 17:36, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
Could the presence of Tennant and Tate at the very least be acknowledge in the casting sect with a "archival footage" note? (I am somewhat new here, so don't crucify me for not knowing a policy or be aware of another similar discussion elsewhere)TzarBorisII ☎ 03:11, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
- We don't do "archival footage" notes, I'm afraid. And Tennant and Tate weren't present, as the actors didn't show up themselves but were merely a flashback. We don't add Capaldi's former character Caecilius as appearing either, as he too was just a flashback. --DCLM ☎ 12:00, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
- If you say so, it must be true... Then again, on the page of certain episodes, (e.g.:The 50th anniversary special) the name of the actors who played the doctor are mentioned even if their presence were by use of archival footage...TzarBorisII ☎ 04:24, October 24, 2015 (UTC)

Clarke's Law[[edit source]]
Which line/scene in the episode mentioned Clarke's Law? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:01, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
- The scene where The Doctor plans to trick the others into thinking that his yo-yo is magic. I don't think he says the name, but others listed at Clarke's Law also are references no made by name. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:05, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
