In the Satan Pit doesn't one of the guys say, when in the vents, turn left but they go right or something? I wasn't paying much attention to the episode but I remember something like that.

Isn't it a little absurd to list all the occurrences of the word or concept of "left" in this article? Just a little? [[User:68.157.53.121|68.157.53.121]] 08:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Where are the youtube videos in question mentioned in this article?
 
==Imperial Daleks==
What, do you think that they have actually watched [[Remembrance of the Daleks]] or something?  They seemed to think that [[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]] was the first time to have a flying Dalek, so I doubt they have.  Therefore it is unlikely they will actually know about Imperial Daleks.

The time beetle similar to the trickster was trying to feed of an altered timeline, however the scale of the time changes created a parallel universe which collapsed at the end of the episode killing the beetle, so the timeline is unchanged.

== Plot holes ==
 
In Voyaged of the Damned the doctor mentions the titanic will destroy all of earth, here it only destroys london.
 
If the doctor died, he never went back to pompeii and defeated the Pyrovile who would have conquered the earth.
 
[[Special:Contributions/78.20.187.129|78.20.187.129]] 21:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 
The ship destroyed London and the irradiated the south (bar the sw), perhaps the explosion was not as catastrophic as it could have been. Pompeii is a plothole your right, however the whole theme of the episode was other people would save the earth with greater consequences, so someone may have stepped up to stop them in the past. [[Special:Contributions/83.104.138.141|83.104.138.141]] 22:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 
How come, in the market at the begnining of the episode, the people are heard speaking in a foreign language?Shouldn't the TARDIS have translated them?
 
Donna and Doctor dont seem to have any problem understanding them.--[[Special:Contributions/149.254.192.192|149.254.192.192]] 18:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 
Regarding the Doctor not regenerating. We know from the Master's death in Last of the Time Lords that a Time Lord can actively choose not to regenerate. Perhaps the Doctor, seeing what he had done without Donna there to say 'Enough' let himself die with the Racnoss.
 
We assume from the events in The Eleventh Hour, that the majority of the story takes place in the year 2008, therefore who stops the Atraxi incinerating the earth in the alternate timeline?
 
== Rose Tyler's Voice ==
 
Is there any explanation for her lithp in this episode?
 
:I noticed that and to be honest it kind of took away from the experiance, although i dont now why she was speaking like that. [[User:Captain-One]]
 
:After the Doctor heard the phrase "Bad Wolf", he appeared to have a lisp too. Perhapths iths important? In the [[Army of Ghosts]] and [[Doomsday]] she had a thlight lithsp too. Most noticeable in the intro to Army of Ghosts. I think it must have something to do with looking into the [[TARDIS]] in [[The Parting of the Ways]] --[[Special:Contributions/60.241.92.27|60.241.92.27]] 16:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 
::I think ur right m8 i was watchin her in an interview on BBC/Doctorwho web site and she speaking fine on it so it could have to do with the story plot. [[User:Captain-One]]
 
::It's not a lisp, it's Tennant's scot accent he slips into in dramatic moments--[[Special:Contributions/149.254.192.192|149.254.192.192]] 18:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 
:::No, I don't think so. Watch it again - his jaw locks and his face tenses weirdly in the closeup after Donna says Bad Wolf. When he speaks he doesn't close his mouth. That's definitely not normal for Tennant. --[[Special:Contributions/60.241.92.27|60.241.92.27]] 09:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 
::::I think you read way too much into this. Yes, of course he tenses - wouldn't you tense if you learned the Universe is going to end? ;) But the accent and lisp is very similar to what David normally speaks like (ie. out of character), IMO  --[[Special:Contributions/213.52.212.129|213.52.212.129]] 14:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 
:::Aha! Watch Doctor Who Confidential for info the whole Bad Wolf thing. I think it has a pretty big bearing on this. --[[Special:Contributions/60.241.92.27|60.241.92.27]] 09:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 
All that said, there have been so many discussions about Piper's voice, coupled with her confession in DWC that she'd forgotten how to play the role, that I feel it's justified to mention this in the Myths section. Rumor has it the "lisp" is gone in Stolen Earth; if it isn't (indeed she sounds lispy in the "It's only just beginning" trailer line), it might be worth further discussion on the character or actress page. It appears to be a performance issue because in the DWC interview there's no trace of a lisp -- but Piper's normal accent is slightly different from Rose's anyway.

== TARDIS translation ==
 
Do we ever before see an example of [[TARDIS]] [[translation circuit]] deliberately affecting the whole area around it the way we see with 'Bad Wolf' at the end of this episode?  --[[Special:Contributions/149.254.192.192|149.254.192.192]] 18:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
* Yes, to a degree, when it slowly starts translating the Sycorax in The Christmas Invasion as the Doctor wakes up. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 04:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 
== Too many "Turning Left"s ==
 
Is it really necessary to list in the Continuity section ''every'' time the line "turn left" or the concept of turning left appears in the series. While the ''Sontaran Strategem'' and possible the TW:''Boom Town'' references are likely intentionally linked to the events of this episode, the ''Army of Ghosts'' and opening credits appearances currently listed are most likely trivial coincidences.

7,000,000 is a reference?[[edit source]]

Why is the number 7,000,000 now in the references section as if it's important in and of itself? The page itself only mentions the events of Turn Left. Is this really necessary information?The preceding unsigned comment was added by JustWilhelm (talk • contribs) .
