While I have no doubt that this story does take place a year after Into the Dalek, I am curious as to where the 2018 date comes from? After all with a lot of recent stories having their modern day pieces set at the time of air (specifically a lot of 11th Doctor stories, including I believe the 50th Anniversary) I am wondering why we are believed to now be so many years in the future?

Mention
The Doctor also mentions a arguement with River, and he sulked. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.201.177.87 (talk).
Vogons or Bogons?
Does Clara mention "Vogons" or "Bogons"? Sound like both she and the Doctor say "Bogons" to me. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 101.179.11.178 (talk).
- Good question. Are there any "official" references, such as a script? HarveyWallbanger ☎ 09:23, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
Is this really a production error?
When The Doctor meets Courtney Woods in the Caretaker's shed, he hands the package of paper towels to her, but they reappear in his hand, and she walks off empty-handed.
It seems like it was intentional that Courtney forgot to take the paper towels because she got distracted talking to the Doctor because he looks at them in his hand when Clara asks why Courtney was there. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.235.140.59 (talk).
2018
While I have no doubt that this story does take place a year after Into the Dalek, I am curious as to where the 2018 date comes from? After all with a lot of recent stories having their modern day pieces set at the time of air (specifically a lot of 11th Doctor stories, including I believe the 50th Anniversary) I am wondering why we are believed to now be so many years in the future?

- During RTD's era (starting with Alien's of London) the episodes were Year + 1. Although there's no reason to assume it applies to the Moffat era, some do. [Now=2015].
- There were references to extended periods of "real time" covered, especially in Series 7A, with "Power of Three" specifically called a year. [Now=2016 or 2017].
- Danny just started at Coal Hill in "Into the Dalek" but had been there more than a year by "The Caretaker" [Now=2017 or 2018].
- I see no reason for assuming that Clara didn't start in real time (especially, as you say it seems to be the case in-story), and the simplest answer is [Now=2015] for "The Caretaker." But that's me, others like the more complex answer. 101.179.11.178talk to me
