Talk:Braxiatel Collection

The Doomsday Manuscript information

Haven't actually made a talk page before, so apologies for any mistakes I make in writing this. Anyway, I've noticed the novel The Doomsday Manuscript contains some information in the first couple pages that the article is missing and I think could be worth adding:

First, there are some details about the planetoid itself which the book mentions which might be relevant but I'm not sure:

- It has a circumference of about 10 miles (which, according to my calculations, means it has a surface area of about 82.44 km², and walking around it once would take 150 minutes at a brisk pace)

- It's got a gravity equal to that of earth's (1.0 Earth Normal (EN))

- It was also terraformed before the Collection was built

- It also has a day/night circle the same as Earth

Secondly, the page has some buildings, areas and features which aren't mentioned:

- The Garden of Whispers has a summer house

- There are two trianons:

• The Great Trianon, which is equidistant to the Mansionhouse to the north and south

• The Small Trianon, which is off-limits to all visitors

- There are the great stables and the small stables (still under construction during the events of the Doomsday Manuscript)

- The Hamlet is a small village of accomodations, which is 3 miles NE of the mansionhouse. It has:

• Two story thatched cottages for overnight stays (one of which, the mill, has an ornamental waterwheel)"

• The caretaker's cottage (a bar)

• The dairy (a restaurant)

- The great trianon lake, which the Hamlet is on the banks of

There are some other details which may be worth mentioning such as:

- All visitors use plasti-discs, which are keyed to their bio-emissions and automatically open any doors they have permission to enter.

- As well as walking, people can get around with Ormand-Seltec flyers or Horses and Carriages.

That's what I've found so far - I haven't a clue what is relevant and what isn't, and I don't know how to properly edit articles, but if anyone would like to add any of this information to the page, I'd be glad to have been of help.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yanalost (talk • contribs) .

Braxfast of Champions (or should that be Broxfost of Champions?)

The City of Death line is spelt ‘Braxiotel’ in the script. I think we can conclude that ‘Braxiatel’ and ‘Braxiotel’ are simply two Time Lords with similar names who happen to both have collections named after them. NightmareofEden ☎ 15:24, April 27, 2020 (UTC)

Nice found. However, scripts are not Valid sources on this wiki. Upon rewatching the scene, Lalla's pronunciation quite allows for Braxiatel.

Perhaps it was intended to be Brox, but Lalla mispronounced it when recording and the director didn't mind it, or didn't notice, or things changed between the script and the recording (this paragraph is, of course, all speculation on my behalf and not really sourced, so it is just examples of reasons why scripts are not used as valid sources, unless it's a last-case-scenario for spellings).

Which, luckily for us, it isn't. We have a novelisation, which is indeed a valid source. And there, the spelling is unmistakably Braxiatel. It was a nice enough research though. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 16:17, April 27, 2020 (UTC)
