Story Notes or Behind the Scenes?.

This article has a large and varied Story Notes section. Some of the entres would be more suitably placed within a Behind the Scenes section, for instance the part about Barry Letts recieving sole credit for the story is not really part of the world of the story but is a real world event. Is this enough of a distinction to warrant adding a section in order to move entries? Some items might qualify for either section, such as the Caroline John with the gun issue; others cleary belong where they are. What constitutes a story note and what exactly is defined as 'Behind the Scenes'? Is there a guideline somewhere to reference what type of entry belongs where? Is it as simple as In universe items belong to the former and real world items belong to the latter? Probably not, but one can hope something simple and black&white is out there. Other issues could arise from trying to address this one. e.g. If a TV story has a deleted scene due to an artistic decision made on set or in the editing process, as opposed to one that simply hit the floor due to running time, which note would go where? Many other story pages have similar cases and overall the wiki would benifit by having entries properly re-placed. --Stillnotginger 11:10, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

"Dimensional paradoxes"?

I noticed a discrepancy between this serial and the Cybermen episodes of the new series on the topic of parallel universes. I put in what seems to be the most likely explanation - I think it makes sense. I don't know how the rest of Doctor Who continuity has dealt with this subject. --Bluebox444 4:35.

Speculation

I reworded this bit to remove speculation:

• Events in the other world are clearly running 48 hours ahead of ours (Sir Keith's accident, Penetration Zero etc). This implies the Doctor travelled into the future as well. The TARDIS console could be said to have moved him diagonally in time.

The only information from the narrative is the Doctor stating that the parallel world's drilling is running ahead and that he has traveled sideways in time. Unless I missed it, there is no mention of the parallel world being ahead in time. Shambala108 ☎ 23:07, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

Unsourced cast

I've moved the unsourced uncredited cast here. It cannot go on the story page unless it is properly sourced. Shambala108 ☎ 20:05, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Greg's Previous Location

"Sutton was flown in from Qatar." It was Kuwait actually. It's mentioned twice in the first episode.165.225.76.70^{talk to me} 17:08, December 19, 2017 (UTC)

Barry Letts - Director

"In spite of Douglas Camfield receiving sole credit as director, the second studio recording block and studio blocks 3 and 4 were directed by producer Barry Letts after Camfield had a minor heart attack on 27 April 1970. Letts later stated that Camfield's preparations for episode one's studio recording were so meticulous that he just followed Camfield's existing camera script."

Episode 3, surely? The first recording block was in the can prior to Camfield's heart attack.165.225.80.225^{talk to me} 10:31, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
