Talk:The Vampires of Venice (TV story)

Jigsaw Puzzle Spoilers

If you complete the "Vampires of Venice" Jigsaw on the official DW website, the quote is:
Rory: You owe Casanova a Chicken? Doctor: Long Story, we had a Bet.

Filming Location

The scenes with the Doctor and the vampire girls in the preview clips were filmed in the girls' dungeon bathroom in St. Donats Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan. I went to the school housed in the castle so could recognise the location. It was also confirmed on the official Facebook page. (Yes, I know that it is a poor source...) - Could someone who can edit the page add this please..? Stephen1133 10:25, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Correct title?

What's the correct title? I'm seeing "Vampires of Venice" being used as well.23skidoo 18:41, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think I've only seen Vampires of Venice used. Not that I paid a lot of attention... TheOmnius 01:59, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

According to Matt Smith on The Jonathan Ross Show, it's Vampires in Venice. That said, earlier in the week, The Doctor Who News Page's source, and atm I forget who they were, said it was one of those titles that could change by the time of broadcast. We'll find out for sure in seven weeks though. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 04:40, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

We can't go with statements made by an actor during an interview. Otherwise Silence in the Library would have been listed as River's Run. BBC publicity materials say Of so we use Of. 23skidoo 16:06, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oh I know. I'm not suggesting we should use MS on JR as our source. Merely noting what had been said publicly by a production team member. As I've said many times before, it'd be better, prolly, if we didn't fool with these pages at all until actual date of first broadcast. That'll never happen, but, honestly, it'd save us a lot of work for precisely this sort of reason. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 23:25, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

The BBC Press Office has confirmed the title as The Vampires of Venice, with "The" as well. So that settles that. We should keep an eye open for a possible reference down the line (DWM, DVD release) that Vampires in Venice was a working title. 23skidoo 22:27, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Rory rumor link

the reference where it says rory is a companion brings up a pr0n advert

You've got a pop-up there. Still works for me. It's out there plenty of times though. Try http://community.livejournal.com/doctorwho/5641033.html, or just google it.86.134.188.188 12:31, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

• I have removed the link anyway, for two reasons. 1: it's an image host that may not keep the image for the long term; and 2: There is no source given. All we see is a close-up photograph of a script page. How do we know that comes from an actual script? What's the origin of the image? Also, it's a line of dialogue taken out of context. I've left the rumour itself in for now, but we need a better source like DWM, or one of the actors or something. A random image with no pedigree given just doesn't cut it. 23skidoo 22:30, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
  • And as the BBC Press Office official synopsis for the episode now establishes that Rory appears, we don't need this dubious link anymore, anyhow. I killed the rumour item, and I see someone also used the image link as an attempt at sourcing the infobox. It's gone now, too. 23skidoo 01:54, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Zoom in to Keyhole

What was the meaning of that? Liamhenney 21:30, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

The way I took it was that it was supposed to be similar in shape to the crack: shrodes 03:49, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Why did the doctor not offer them a new planet like he has done previously? --The10thdoctor 21:35, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Amy-Rory kissing music?

The piano music that plays when Rory and Amy kiss, just after she saves him, does that not sound a lot like Claire Bennet's theme from the tv show Heroes? Anyone else pick that up? Mc hammark 21:43, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
