I removed the references to him resigning and Riley succeeding him. First, neither event occurred in the episode, and no follow-up episode or story has confirmed this (even if it is obvious). And the UK Prime Ministers office doesn't work like the US Presidency; there isn't a vice-prime minister waiting in the wings. Assuming Green resigned, an interim leader would be selected and a by-election called (or more likely a federal election in this case). All this is stuff to be covered in a follow-up story, since the Six Months Later segment makes no reference to any of this. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 03:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Plus to be honest, UK leaders have survived much greater scandals, plus most Briton's dont like the US/UK special relationship with US dominance so the comment wouldn't have ended Green's career. [[User:MercM|MercM]]

Age

I think he was born in the early to mid 1940s as there is no way that Green looks over 70 (if he was born in the 1930's). ~~MercM~~

Well he said he was a kid in 1965 so maybe he was born in the 50's or late 40's. Whoniverse93 09:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Editing

"If the crisis went wrong"- who wrote this? The whole point of something being a crisis is if it went wrong. This needs heavy alterations.

Office dates

Lets be clear about this, every Doctor Who/Torchwood/SJA serial has been set one year ahead of transmission date since Aliens of London, so Green left office in 2010, not 2009. I will be changing it to 2010 everytime someone decides to be ignorant and follow a continuity error mentioned in the programme. ~~MercM~~

Speculation after Day Five

I removed the references to him resigning and Riley succeeding him. First, neither event occurred in the episode, and no follow-up episode or story has confirmed this (even if it is obvious). And the UK Prime Ministers office doesn't work like the US Presidency; there isn't a vice-prime minister waiting in the wings. Assuming Green resigned, an interim leader would be selected and a by-election called (or more likely a federal election in this case). All this is stuff to be covered in a follow-up story, since the Six Months Later segment makes no reference to any of this. 23skidoo 03:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
