Talk:The Robots of Death (TV story)

RUR

Should we make any mention of the similarity between Capel and Capek?Sochwa 05:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Good one! It never occured to me that there might be correlation. :) However, even as the spelling is simillar, I think that had there been an intentional nod, the pronunciation would also be alike - 'Chapel' or 'Shapek'... Here it might just be a coincidence.HighlandFling ☎ 17:19, March 1, 2016 (UTC)HighlandFling

Location

I believe that Saturn's moon, Titan, has been suggested as a location for this story, but I can't quote the reference. Does anybody else remember this?Quornhog 20:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

DVD Release

Mentioned in the DVD release that fans did not like the roundel design on the case, is there any source for this Bigshowbower 07:09, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

INTRO accuracy?

In this part:

"Chris Boucher was asked to write Robots after another serial fell through. He was chosen as his work on the preceding story The Face of Evil, had been widely appreciated. It was Philip Hinchcliffe who pushed the idea of a "robot story", despite script editor Robert Holmes' opinion that they were dull. Holmes was confident that he could produce a good script for an enclosed space, as the crew were aware the serial would be a studio bound one."

Shouldn't there be 'Boucher'was confident that he could produce a good script... instead of Holmes? IDK, but it would seem logical as Holmes didn't like robot stories that Boucher's confidence was important... Or is it the other way round - that Holmes believed in Boucher, therefore allowed him to write a story concerning a topic he din't particularly care about?

Either it's an error or it's not. Anyone knows the facts?HighlandFling ☎ 17:10, March 1, 2016 (UTC)HighlandFling
