| == Donna? == | | {{ArchCat}} |
| I noticed that at the end of the episode, when the camera is making its way through the "Ragidy Doctor" memorabelia, one of the Amy dolls looks like Donna and is wearing similar clothes as Donna work in [[Planet of the Ood]]
| | == No timeline? == |
| *I didn't notice that, but did spot that the childish blue peter style creations (surely a nod to Biddy Baxter and Blue Peter's close links with the series) are in 2 different styles, the Dr dressed in his raggedy clothes and in his new stolen clothes, and Amy in her nightclothes as well as wearing her blue coat. Does this indicate that after the tardis noise she heard in the garden while waiting the 5 minutes for him to return (before the cut to grown up Amy) she did see the Doctor again as a little girl, we just haven't been shown it? Otherwise she wouldn't have known he changed his clothes. I bet there's something in the crayon pictures too but I couldn't make anything significant out.

| | Why does the timeline suddenly stop at sereis 5? I've followed it from the begining and was just wonding if their was any particular reason or if someone just hadn't bothered to put it on the page yet. I can do a quick one but the comics, books, and audios will have to be added by someone who has read and heard them. [[User:Tivis014|Tivis014]] 23:48, May 5, 2011 (UTC) |
| What happened to the Doctor after he examined the "duck pond" he says something like he's not ready or not now and he clutches his chest. I initially thought it was the TARDIS key burning him but then he later remarks that he has no screwdriver and no TARDIS....any thoughts?

| From start to finish, perhaps, but from the point where he first changes physical apperance to the end of the episode? It was pretty much literally fourty minutes for him. The Tenth Doctor had spent pretty much an entire afternoon, night, and morning regenerating from the point he stepped out of the TARDIS to the point he regrew his hand (which are both just loose reference points, seeing as we don't know how long it was from the point where the Ninth Doctor kissed Rose and regenerated in the Series 1 finale to the point the Tenth exited the TARDIS at the beginning of Series 2, nor do we know the ''exact'' point his regeneration stops).[[User:MrCatharsis|MrCatharsis]] 06:12, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

| ==The scanner screen in the TARDIS scene...? ==
| | I removed the note about the Doctor having a craving for apples which might have referenced The Christmas Invasion as the Doctor did not pull out an apple from his pocket it was a satsuma. ---- |
| OK, while watching the scene towards the end with Eleven and Amy in the TARDIS, the screen prominently focuses on the scanner screen behind Eleven rather than his face while he's talking, there's a wavelength wobbling about on it or something and a constant line showing too. He turns to it and flicks a switch, and on my screen at least it seems like a distinctly different frame pops up before it switches to the next shot, like a still image was inserted in the middle. I'm thinking that A, whatever the screen was showing will be important later as it was the focus of that shot, but maybe the inserted still image might be important too? Does anyone have the know-how to find out what's up there? [[User:Ponk|Ponk]] 14:09, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

| There is a rumor that the Doctor went to the moon for 2 years on purpose to research the Pandorium (spelling?) I cant quite remember what they called it, but that and the Shadow and he came back because Amy had something to do with it thats why the scanner acted weirdly.

| Went back to look at this scene frame by frame. When The Doctor presses the button, the next shot is of the screen and the center is blue. The next frame is back at the Doctor. Then the next fame is back on the screen, similar to before. Then the next frame is back to the Doctor looking at the screen. The way he lingers at the screen makes it seem like something odd happened.

| |
| *IMHO the use of the greek symbol Ψ 'psi' instead of 'Y' is significant because it is used for Schrodinger's Equation which relates to wavefunction and change over time in quantam physics and can be applied to the whole universe, ie the cracks. Shrodinger is equally / more famous for his cat experiment, which provides a scientific backdrop for the existence of multiple universes / many worlds / parallel universes and time travel etc, and in a way the weeping angels. Furthermore, in mathematics Ψ is also used to represent the reciprocal Fibonacci constant, whose closed form is the golden ration, which artistically was used from the Renaissance onwards by artists and architects. And Fermat's Spiral links this golden ratio to sunflowers and daisys. Is this why we have future episodes in the series set in 16th century Venice with the vampires, and with Van Gogh who is most famous for his sunflower pictures? Furthermore, the golden ratio is also evident in the design of the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge. Is this why we get archeaologist River Song at Stonehenge in the finale? Additionally, Fibonacci is credited with intorducing the use of zero into Europe, and actually published proof of the same specific case that Fermat did (n = 4) in 1225, but this is largely overlooked today. Finally, the Wile's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in the real world was published in 1995 so if the ideas about Rory's ID badge dated 1990 are correct that time has been tampered with somehow, the proof would not have been known to the experts the Doctor showed. The circle links, and links most of the episodes! (and IMHO It will also link the others that we don't know very much about as yet). Is it recognition (even if subconcious) of the psi symbol which prompts the Doctor to use the specific egs he does to the experts?

| ==Ood? ==
| |
| How can the Atraxi have footage of The Ood in 2010?
| |
| | |
| : It may be that the Atraxi did some sort of temporal scan. They follow the Doctor twelve years into the future to recapture Prisoner Zero, which implies time travel technology, and many segments of the video displayed happen in the relative future from 2010 (including the clip of Nine, which is clearly from The Parting of the Ways). This would explain the apparent inconsistencies in their knowledge, including of things that didn't even happen on Earth.

| |
| | |
| Not likely, the Doctor had pointed out that they were scanning all of Earth's systems and to look him up. I think that the temporal scan idea was more likely. Before they locked onto the Doctor twelve years later, they probably jumped to various time periods, running scans to see if Prisoner Zero was causing any disturbance (and to verify that it was there at all).

| Sorry, I don't know how to create a new heading, but when the Doctor shows the older Amy the apple, why does a strip of blue light come across them?
| |
| | |
| The blue light was a lens flare because they put a light halo around them, notice that the edges of Amy's hair go golden during the shot too... According to Confidential they also slowed down the camera a bit too. I think it was just to increase the drama of the moment but I actually got a bit distracted by it.

| ==Premature image?==
| |
| Do we know for certain that the image of the Doctor outside his TARDIS used to illustrate this article is from this episode? I would think one of the shots of him in the Tenth Doctor's outfit would be more appropriate for this story. (The image is a good one to use for the season article, though, as well as whatever episode ends up actually having the sequence). [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 02:18, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Nope. And beyond that, it's low-res, drawn from a webcast. And it's got the wrong license on it. And it likely doesn't even capture the narrative mood of the story. So it's a total waste of time to even have uploaded it and attached it to this article. Putting a picture up of a story which hasn't even aired yet is, frankly, insane.

| I'm tentatively going to take down the time period given in the infobox. There's no dialogue to suggest a time period. The only date in the entire episode is on [[Rory]]'s ID badge, which says it was issued on [[30th November]] [[1990]]. Even given the fact that people don't regularly get such badges re-issued, he's simply not old enough to have an 18-year-old ID bage. The issue is even more complicated because of that stupid tacked on opening sequence, which is proving all round to be more trouble than it was worth. It prominently shows the London Eye. Somewhere here there's a production error. Don't know if it's the fact that the digital artists didn't remove the Eye, or that the graphic artists put the wrong date on Rory's card. Either way, for now, we don't know what the current year is in the Matt Smith era.

| : The episode most certaintly could not have taken place in 1990 as Rory's phone has an option to upload to Facebook, which did not exist until 2004, and the ability to upload to Facebook from a mobile phone did not exist until 2007. The Doctor specifically mentions Facebook when talking about the virus. He also mentions Twitter which was created in 2006 and really did not become popular enough to mention until 2008.

| It's more dramatic than the UNIT dating controversy! Earth's history shows 2007 events, Facebook (2004 onwards) and Twitter (2006, became popular from 2007 through 2009 onwards) are mentioned, there s the whole picture upload thing, a very modern laptop and goood quality webcam, phones that are clearly in the late 2007 onwards era, and other things. Heck, they had filming settings an coloured screens and Facebook! That 1990 thing must be a production era, as all of the modern things we mentioned were actually - and obviously - in the script for the story, whereas that 1990 thing probably wasn't anything from the script.
| |
| | |
| As mentioned before, many on-set reports reported that Amy childhood scene was in 1996, placing the main story in 2008 (when Facebook and Twitter very much existed, and Twitter was popular, and they had thin coloured screen phones with filming settings), and the Doctor's second return in 2010, explaining why Amy's home period is seen as 2010 later in the series.

| ::Guys, look: I understand all this is mightily '''inconvenient'''. I get all the incongruities it causes. But the issue date on Rory's ID is '''the only actual date''' in the entire episode. Everything else you're saying is true of the real world, but may not be true of the DWU. The opening shot shows us the London Eye; are we to believe that the London Eye exists in 1996? And the Atraxi's look at earth "history", well that's a bit of a joke, too. The Atraxi seese things that happened on parallel Earths, the far flung future, and things that didn't happen on Earth at all. So that's no help. None of it makes any sense, but we don't have any other actual hard date to go by. "Set reports" are not valid references for the wiki. Until we get some greater confirmation '''from actual episodes''', we have to report in this article the facts that are at hand. There's not enough hard evidence to say this thing happened in 1996/2008/2010. So I'm definitely reverting the infobox again. But I'll do you a deal, though. I won't put ''any'' dates. That way we can add it later, once it becomes absolutely clear — by viewing '''finished''' episodes — what was in error about this episode and what wasn't. Logically, we must be getting an actual date of this episode, because at some point Amy has to turn to the Doctor and say, "Okay, it's time for me to get married, take me to <insert date here>." I mean that last scene of the episode does seem to set up a very precise time travel request from Amy. We'll almost certainly get to some sort of definitive date for this one. Maybe it is 96/2008/2010. But we can't say it '''yet'''. This ''is'' Moffat we're talking about, after all. We can't expect we're going to get everything handed to us in a simple, straightforward manner. We just have to wait until all the cards are on the table.

| :::By the way, look at this from another angle. What if you were to throw out the badge altogether and '''accept''' that everything else in the episode happens at the same time as those events normally do in the real world. So take DM's laundry list of technological dates above. Thing is, you can't actually pin it down to 2010. The main bulk of the episode works being in 2007. ''Or'' 2008. ''Or'' 2009. ''Or'' 2010. ''Or'' 2011. ''Or'' 2012. ''Or'' 2013. Nothing wrong with any of those dates, really. Twitter/smart phones/Facebook they're all likely to exist in this date ''range''. So without any actual dates give we're ''still'' left swinging a bit, even if we consider the ID badge as in error. But again the badge could still be proven right. We don't know that much about Rory, even from set reports. He could be displaced in time, himself.

| Ok, there is nothing to say the Tardis didn't travel back in time after crashing into Big Ben. So the opening scene could have taken place in 2005(the date The Tardis left Earth from in the end of time). The scenes of Amy as a child then took place in 1996 as the Tardis had travelled back in time. Therefore 12 years later it was 2008 with
| |
| the final scene in 2010. That ID card was an error and The Atraxi was scanning the Doctor's memories, not Earth's history.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Rory's phone is a Blackberry Storm, which was released in mid Nov. 2008, which places this after or during November 2008. You don't usually expect to see a nurse in a rural village sporting the latest gadgets, and also, if it was December, there would have been Christmas decorations somewhere. So it could easily be 2009 when the bulk of this is set, or even 2010. It could, for all we know, be 1998/2010/2012 that this episode takes place in. It really only makes sense to me that Tennant regenerated in 2010. That bump could have been the TARDIS being jolted back in time a few years. It doesn't make that much sense to be in 2008, with so little of it left if you use the gadget dates. -[[User:Ravrahn2|Ravrahn2]] 08:43, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

| 1996 + 12 2008. Plus, that would make the Doctor's second to Amy 2010. And guess what time it is when the Doctor returns to present day Earth later in the series? 2010 - and it's snowing. [[User:Delton Menace|Delton Menace]] 09:25, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

| Theres nothing onscreen to indicate Amelias time period except the shed. The shed was either rebuilt exactly (yeh right) OR the doctor actually went slightly backwards in time (he doesnt say that 12 years have passed just that the shed is 12 years old and Amy accepts it). The Clock is used to fool the viewers we didnt see it go forward just change...

Most logical theory is that the ID badge is a production error, and the bulk of the story takes place between 2008-2010. There is nothing to indicate that it does not take place in the present day, and the presence of the blackberry storm can also be a production error. Stick to reality, people.

| ==Plot Synopsis==
| |
| | |
| When the Doctor wakes up secured to the radiator Amy is clearly adopting an English accent (reverting to her Scottish accent when she asks why he said five minutes soon after), I think it should refer to this in the plot summary, however, it clearly says Amy is Scottish before it is revealed that she is Amy. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 13:35, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| The reason why she attempts an English accent is so the Doctor doens't instantly recognise Amy from her distinct Scottish accent.

| |
| | |
| I don't think Prisoner Zero imitating the Doctor from Amy is an error, since it was already established that it imitates the main image in it's psychic hosts' minds. When the Doctor got Amy to think about Prisoner Zero's true form, she didn't appear with it either, so Prisoner Zero doesn't necesarrily take the form of the host it forms a link with, but the main image from their mind.

I've therefore removed a couple of items, but am preserving them here so that they might be reincorporated later, if they turn out to be true.
| |
| :'''This one's not a direct quote, but a summary.''' Speculation about the dates of this episode based upon purported dialogue in ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]''. It may well turn out to be true, but we have no context for any leaked lines, nor do we know for sure that what might have been heard/seen in filming will make it through the editing process.
| |
| :'''This was lifted directly from article''': One of the episodes of Series 5 is rumoured to be called The Pandorcia Opens and it has also be rumoured that a silent menace will follow the Doctor and Amy on their travels, the term "silence will fall" was mentioned a few times by Steven Moffat when refering to arc and nature of series 5. Prisoner Zero also reveals that he has nothing to do with the crack in Amy Pond's wall, and mentions that there are cracks throughout the universe, amused that the Doctor does not know what the cause is; these are likely the watchwords and things to look out for planted throughout the series, much like 'Bad Wolf' and 'Torchwood'.

| I have a answer, as shown in many stories the doctors stamina is much greater than a human, as is his lung capasity, so that means that if he ran flat out, which he proberly didn't it wouldn't take him that long, as it doesn't take eather of them long to get there by car, so with a greater stamina and plus, lets not forget that as he was still in the first few hours of his regeneration, where it has also been previously shown, stated or hinted that during it his physical abbilities increase, he could have made it in only a little while, although admitally some of it was left out due to timing, but still it wouldn't take him that long. --[[User:General MGD 109|General MGD 109]] 18:47, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

| :Well, I dunno. This is one of those ambiguous cases that might be seen as a plot hole, but it's only that way because of the way the director shot it. This is more about flawed scene geography than anything else.
| |
| | |
| :There's a circular flower bed in front of the hospital. Between that and the front door of the hospital is a roundabout. When looking straight at the door, the Doctor parks the fire truck on the left side of the door. Rory parks his car on the right. When the Doctor rushes out of the front door, the fire truck would then be on his right. But he runs across the circular flower bed, he goes diagonally ''left''' (or ''away'' from the fire truck). So he's clearly eschewing the truck as a way back to the village. The question then becomes, if he's going to ignore his means of transport, why does the script have Amy say that he ''needs'' a car? I think that '''is''' a production error, because all the director had to do to preserve the possibility that it all makes sense is to have Matt run across the flowerbed from left to right, thus at least ''implying'' that he might be running back to the truck. The movement actually filmed, though, implies he's running all the way back to the village (cause it's already established to be to the left, if your back is facing the hospital).

| | |
| | |
| | |
| This is my guess for three of the five possible things to look out for:
| |
| *The Cracks
| |
| **The Duck Pond (probably linked with the cracks and has been mentioned twice now)
| |
| **The Memory Loss (Daleks, CyberKing - probably linked with the cracks as this wasnt established until Ep3)
| |
| *Pandorica
| |
| *Future-Version-Doc11 incusions (we've seen 2 possible incursions to date - showing up to 7-year-old Amy in this episode, and telling Amy to trust him in the forest in Flesh and Stone) [[User:Phasmantistes|Phasmantistes]] 06:48, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *Clocks switching from 11:59am to 12:00pm (noon), when it seems to be night outside. (Seen twice so far - at the end of this episode and the end of Flesh and Stone). [[User:Phasmantistes|Phasmantistes]] 06:48, May 3, 2010 (UTC) | |
| <br />
| |
| These are some things that have been suggest as being in "The 5" but seem less likely in my opinion.
| |
| *Rory's ID (more likely a production error)
| |
| *26/06/2010 (While the date wasnt established in this ep "tomorrow" was and this was later established in Ep3 - the series will no doubt accumulate at this date, but I dont think it is one of the five)
| |
| *Magpie Electricals (more likely just a nod to eariler episodes, like Slusho in J. J. Abram productions)
| |
| *MΨTH Logo (more likly relavant somewhere in the story but only like the new Magpie Electricals style in-universe company)

| Which places "The Eleventh Hour"'s first segment with young Amelia Pond in 1996/1997 sometime. The bulk of the episode in 2009 and the final scene in 2011...
| |
| | |
| All of this could've been avoided if that little "5" on Rose's 'Missing' poster seen in "Aliens of London" was instead changed to a little "4", placing the first episode in 2004...Sad...:-(
| |
| | |
| In my own head, I tend to find excuses for these little continuity errors when someone mentions the wrong date: For example, in "The Fires of Pompeii", Donna says "You saved us in 2008!" when "Partners in Crime", by the above timeline, took place in 2009. Okay, that's fine; Donna simply mispoke.
| |
| | |
| How hard would it be to say that Jackie Tyler simply made a typo when making her latest batch of "missing" posters???
| |
| | |
| Anyway, I'm getting off subject; is the above timeline correct? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 10:58, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *I'm not sure if the timeline is correct, but all these little inconsistencies might be corrected this series. The Doctor said that the crack was two points in time which should have never met touched together. Now, since it's been seen in several places I think it's safe to assume that these cracks are all over the place (and not just the one same crack). So if they're all over the place, I'd say that all these inconsistencies with dates could be put up to the cracks. [[User:Mc hammark|Mc hammark]] 11:03, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *Once again it's shown that it's impossible for Doctor Who to have a continuity error ;-) But still, I think it'd be best (just for my own personal continuity obsession OCD) to say that Jackie Tyler made a typo while making the missing posters...This places the Whoniverse at the same time as ours once again, fixing everything forever! I like the "cracks in time" solution to the problem too. [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 11:08, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

| Actually, far from "not giving a crap", as I understand it - you'll need to check the DWM interviews and podcasts for the chapter and verse - The End of Time was set up in part to adjust the timeline and remove the "year ahead" idea. It was a fringe benefit of not having to do a full season. It started with us being able to see the calendar dates in Children of Earth. So it has been addressed. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 13:38, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *I'm not sure how that works... How exactly did 'The End of Time' adjust the timeline? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 16:40, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *Nevermind, I understand it now; The events of Partners in Crime, The Sontaran Statagem, The Poison Sky, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End, all had to occur pre-Easter 2009, which means Planet of the Dead, The SJA Series 2 & 3, and TW: Children of Earth can all be set in 2009. I guess that timeline works out fine; it just means 2009 in the Whoniverse was VERY hectic! [[Special:Contributions/211.31.116.46|211.31.116.46]] 00:24, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

| == Too Much Time Spent On Duck Pond? ==
| |
| | |
| Now, this is just a theory, but I believe that the Doctor and Amy spent waaaay too much time talking about the duck pond. It seems to me, as such an early stage, that this could be like "the bees are disappearing". Matt Smith noted that there are four or five things to look out for in the series as a whole, maybe even in each episode, but that all five are definitely in the first episode. What if the duck pond is one of them? Remember, just a theory. [[User:Simson.|Simson.]] 23:35, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| : Yeah, it did seem wierd... I wonder if it will be relevant, but we can only speculate at the moment. [[Special:Contributions/220.236.233.108|220.236.233.108]] 00:41, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

| :: This may or may not be important, but it's a duck pond without any ducks. So what does that make it? [[Amelia Pond|A Pond]].

| ==Dating the end of the episode==
| |
| In the Year article for [[2010]] someone says the Doctor returned to get Amy in June 2010. I don't recall any reference to a month in the episode. Anyone know where this comes from? Or is a wedding date indicated in a later episode? [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 13:36, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

| We see the date on the clock in Flesh and Stone. But there's been some talk about that clock, since the time seems all messed up. (It went from 11:59 AM on June 25th to 12:00 PM on June 26th, despite the fact they'd "only been gone five minutes" and, you know, 11:59 AM on June 25th doesnt go to 12 PM on June 26th...there's a twelve hour gap there..)

| == The 2nd visit to young Amelia ==
| |
| | |
| The plot synopsis completely omits the scene toward the end in which (presumably) the Doctor reappears to young Amelia. We hear the tardis sound, and we see young Amelia look up, surprised and happy. And then the scene cuts away, back to the Doctor showing up 2 years late to older-Amy. I'm confused what we're supposed to take from this scene. Did he finally make good on his promise of "five minutes"? And if so, does that change the history of we'd just seen throughout the episode? Does older-Amy still remember being pissed at the Doctor for telling young Amelia "five minutes" and breaking his promise?

| (of course, I've only seen the episodes that have aired on BBC America, so if these questions are somehow settled in future episodes, feel free to disregard....) [[Special:Contributions/72.224.72.229|72.224.72.229]] 15:51, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| I notited this too and was also confused. I have a theory now though. This may have been answered, at least in part, by the Flesh and Stone episode that aired today.
| |
| | |
| The Doctor clearly leaves Amy in the middle of the forest, but then moments later he comes back. But his mannorisms, attitude and even his phsyical condition has changed, but most importantly he his his jacket back! Which he lost just before.
| |
| | |
| What he says is pretty cryptic and doesnt make sense, but he does mention saying something to Amy at age 7, but she doesnt remember. It seems likely that when he came back, it was actually a Future-Doc11 and not the same Doc11 that just left with River.
| |
| | |
| This 2nd visit could be the same thing. The Doc11 that reappeared 2 years late was not the same doctor that went back for Young-Amy, but the Future-Doc11 that appreaded in Flesh and Stone. This would also explain why the Past-Doc11 of that Elevent Hour wasnt confused by the fact that she said he hadnt returned. - Looq - 02/05/2010
| |
| | |
| He also has an entirely different watch on his wrist. The "NoJacketDoctor" was wearing a gold wristwatch, while the Doctor who came back to Amy was wearing a black one. We've been discussing this in the Flesh & Stone discussion and on the Flesh and Stone discontinuity page. [[User:Musedae|Musedae]] 19:42, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

| ==Continuity: time==
| |
| The article makes the point about the time on Big Ben vs Amelia's kitchen clock. I'm not sure why that is picked out where the more obvious demonstration of the time differences is the completed Millennium Dome/02 that would not be there in '96/'80s, plus some of the buildings surrounding Canary Wharf shown right after.[[Special:Contributions/82.45.232.218|82.45.232.218]] 21:55, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

| :That sequence is (most likely) meant to be Amy's dream. She's dreaming of being young and she hears the TARDIS noise and thinks it's in her dream, but then she wakes up and realises it's not.

| | |
| So, during the show I was counting the years and it seemed Doctor Who took a time shift to 2024. I thought hmm, something different, maybe it's a plot point, I do hope that Steven doesn't think it's still 2010. So I've waited until Doctor Who confirmed the date. They did this at the end of Flesh and Stone. Now, Amy's clock said 2010. So I thought hmm, first time writer, big mistake. I come to the wiki to see the fact that people had gone ahead and assumed that The Doctor crashed in 1996. Now that stabilizes everything out... almost. When The Doctor was crashing he flew by The London Eye Constructed from 1998-1999. So The London eye was apparently present 2 years before it was constructed due to the theory on this wiki. So I think that the wiki needs to look deeper into when these events actually occurred and correct them, as Doctor Who currently seems to be in too many time zones.

| : I think you're missing the whole point of the show, ''it's a time machine!'' [[User:Mc hammark|Mc hammark]] 18:30, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| : THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT! It's a Time Machine! If apparently the events started in 1996 (according to the wiki) how come we saw the London Eye. But if It started in 2010 how come it's not 2024. Even if it started in 2005 we are still not at 2010.
| |
| : I don't think you're understanding. He started in a year after the London eye was built. We've noted (check the infobox) that he was in London post 1999. Then he travels back through time to 1996. After the events then, he travels forward to 2008, 12 years later, then after those events he travels two years into the future to 2010. It's perfectly simple. However, if it's noting in the main article you want, you'll need to find a way of saying post 1999 that doesn't sound silly.

| : But at what point did he time travel? Birdie94jb 18:42, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| : A point we didn't see. The same way that we didn't see him time travel from the events of Planet of the Dead to the events of The Next Doctor, but we know he did. [[User:Mc hammark|Mc hammark]] 19:34, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
