The computer registers Amy to be over 1300 years old, when it should register her to be over 700
Who is the actor who appears in the voting booth video?


If the Doctor and Amy are in the mouth of the star whale, shouldn't that mean they are exposed to the open space and suffocate? [[User:Conmck22|Conmck22]] 18:45, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

In the pre-credit sequence there is a shot of Timmy in the lift with the Smiler smiling. Then the shot switches to the "test card girl". Then back to a shot with Timmy in the lift with the Smiler already having it's "disapproving" face. Only then does the shot switch to a close-up of the Smiler, still with the smiling face, turning it's head to the disapproving face.

I couldn't work out where [[3295]] was coming from (didn't check the talk page, above), but through some digging, found this explanation:
:''Amy is said to be 1306 years old, and she was born in [[1989]].''
I think ''circa'' [[3295]] is fair enough (much like extrapolating dates in ''Class'' or ''Miracle Day'', where there's a clear chronology, and this is even more precise than our "circa" treatment of the year in ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''), but unless Amy was born on 1 January there's just as much chance this is 3296. I think the category [[:category:Stories set in the 3290s|Stories set in the 3290s]] is without doubt most appropriate, so my query is more about what is best to put in the infobox. Any thoughts on "c. 3295"?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 20:29, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

3295, cont.[[edit source]]

I couldn't work out where 3295 was coming from (didn't check the talk page, above), but through some digging, found this explanation:

Amy is said to be 1306 years old, and she was born in 1989.

I think circa 3295 is fair enough (much like extrapolating dates in Class or Miracle Day, where there's a clear chronology, and this is even more precise than our "circa" treatment of the year in The Dalek Invasion of Earth), but unless Amy was born on 1 January there's just as much chance this is 3296. I think the category Stories set in the 3290s is without doubt most appropriate, so my query is more about what is best to put in the infobox. Any thoughts on "c. 3295"?
