Is our sole reason for declaring this non-DWU really that it takes place in a universe where Doctor Who is fiction? Because now it's established Doctor Who exists as [[Doctor Who (The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)|a work of fiction both in]] [[Meta-fiction universe|another universe]] [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology|and in]] [[N-Space]], I see no further justification for this. Well, other than the fact it's parodic, but we count other spoofs such as the comics in [[The Doctor Who Fun Book]] as DWU.

Well, looks like [[The Doctor Who Fun Book]] has now been made invalid. Anyway, I’m pretty sure the thing is that we count it invalid if it wasn’t intended to be set in the DWU, which I highly doubt this was, since it doesn’t even pretend to be anything other than ABOUT Doctor Who (but you can consider it canon, if you like. I know I do!). [[User:NightmareofEden|NightmareofEden]] [[User talk:NightmareofEden|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:45, November 17, 2020 (UTC)

Trailer[[edit source]]

I wanted to add the trailer to the infobox, but was told that only Admins are allowed to do this, if one could do so, that would be great. I have found the trailer online (video link removed per Tardis:Video policy]]), which has been uploaded by the BBC's official channel, and therefore does not breach any copyright policies.

If you want to suggest a video, you may do so at Tardis talk:Video recommendations. Just follow the instructions on the page. Shambala108 15:34, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

DVD release comment and New Zealand location[[edit source]]

The bit about Davison wanting to release this to DVD will need to be removed if a source cant be provided. Where did he say this? Also, does anyone know the name of the studio in New Zealand where they filmed the Hobbit as that needs to be added to the filming location list. According to Google some scenes were actually shot at Pinewood, but many months before Five(ish) Doctors would have have been made. 68.146.70.124talk to me 14:30, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Article title[[edit source]]

Any reason why it's "Fiveish" and not "Five(ish)"? 68.146.70.124talk to me 14:46, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that is because we can't use brackets within a title due to technical reasons. Brackets should be reserved for dab terms. If you tried to pipe trick the full title, [[The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (TV story)|]] would return The Five. Not what we want.

There's a note on the page itself, right under the infobox, which already answered this question — and provided links to the whole host of characters that can't be used in titles.

Paul McGann[[edit source]]

Paul McGann is given starring billing (he appears in the opening credits, despite his one scene). Should or shouldn't this mean he should be in the infobox under Main Characters? ---Si Iway amway Ichamousacoricothingmabobsay. http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG 23:39, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

Invalid source[[edit source]]

This can't really be classed as an invalid source as it doesn't pretend to be in-universe. Also, the infobox might be better if it was replaced with the documentary one.--Skittles the hog - talk 22:57, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

  • I agree. The invalid source tag never seemed necessary to me. It's "invalid" in the same way as An Adventure in Space and Time, not the likes of Scream of the Shalka or Big Finish's Unbound stories.--TheCoud'veBeenKing 23:10, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Non-DWU?[[edit source]]

Is our sole reason for declaring this non-DWU really that it takes place in a universe where Doctor Who is fiction? Because now it's established Doctor Who exists as a work of fiction both in another universe and in N-Space, I see no further justification for this. Well, other than the fact it's parodic, but we count other spoofs such as the comics in The Doctor Who Fun Book as DWU. 86.187.238.24talk to me 17:13, April 18, 2020 (UTC)
