At least Fear Her, which is set in 2012, shows people reacting the alien things as a natural thing: when Rose mentioned the spaceship and aliens, the council man reacted normally and wasn't suprsied.

Please DO NOT add to this discussion.
The new series constantly states that time is in flux, likely as a way to get rid of many continuity errors such as why, 1n 2012, did Henry van Statten not recognise the Dalek after the Dalek invasion in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. However in The Waters of Mars (set in 2059) Adelaide remembers the Dalek invasion. This seems to imply that time changes take place along the Doctor's personal timeline. Is this a coincedence? Or is the Doctor somehow a lot more important than everything else?--TemporalSpleen 14:11, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
