Move to Doctor Who: The Movie

The DVD releases have named this is as Doctor Who: The Movie. Should we move it in deference to the most recent official title?The Traveller 09:04, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

No. Doctor Who (1996) or, even better, Doctor Who (TV story) are the best choices. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:46, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

I have question about Gareth. When the Doctor saw Gareth at the party, he told him to answer the 2nd question on his test. He mention that Gareth will save the world. Could this be an indirect reference to Gareth Jenkins from the In A Fix with the Sontarans bit done on the BBC show Jim'll Fix It? Just wondering. (Also, I thought the "title" to this show was "The Enemy Within", at least according to other references). Hope you can help out. Hotshot70 ☎ 11:31, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

That's speculation, and that title has been identified as a nickname invented by a director or something. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 20:38, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Producer Phil Segal suggested it at a convention. 24.61.9.32^{talk to me} 02:48, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

Production section

Given how in depth it is, along with how there doesn't seem to be that many production sections in general that I can think of, should there be citations given for all that information? -- Tybort (talk page) 01:47, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Behind the Scenes info largely copied from "A Brief History of Time (Travel)"

Some minor changes, but essentially cut-and-pasted from here:

Under Copyright and Disclaimer, SS says that people interested in reproducing his work can contact him, though.

Has anyone done so already? Perhaps he gave his permission? 24.61.9.32^{talk to me} 00:20, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

This was actually addressed once, as can be seen in the archives of this talk page. However, there doesn't seem to have been any action taken.

If you could give the specific section title(s) that are copied, that would make it a bit easier to look into it. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 03:02, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

20 20 Hindsight

A large period of time is implied to have passed since Survival, as the Seventh Doctor has parted with his companion Ace, is visibly older, is dressed differently and is travelling alone. The narration by the Eighth Doctor also states that at this time, he was "nearing the end of [his] Seventh..." life."

The sentence about nearing the end of his seventh life is nothing to do with how much time has passed since Survival. The Eighth doctor is narrating with hindsight, knowing he was soon to be shot.165.225.76.55^{talk to me} 14:53, December 11, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox image 2021

The infobox image was changed without discussion last May. We should probably discuss this. Here are the three images that have recently been in the infobox here.

• 

  1. 1 The original image
• 

  1. 2 Briefly featured
• 

  1. 3 Current image

The current image is just of the Eighth Doctor. #1 is the climax, at least, and #2 is a notable moment with a secondary character. There are probably some other candidates already uploaded that present the main action in some way. In the meantime, I've temporarily changed the image back to #1, as it had been.

File:Seventh Doctor Regenerates - Sylvester McCoy to Paul McGann - Doctor Who The Movie - BBC

Feel free to add more suggestions below. I'm thinking an image of Eight post-regen could also work, somewhere in the scene you can see in the thumbnail to this video (see right).
