Years and Years

Anyone know which specific episode of Years and Years Guinevere was mentioned in, because I'm fairly sure that it would qualify for coverage under Talk:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (series) and RTD's shared universe quotes, and to start a debate about it I need to have watched it. Alternatively, somebody who's watched it could start a forum thread. Either or. :) Aquanafrahudy 📢 17:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure about outright validity. There are other connections between Y&Y and Who which are much less literal or suggestive of Rule 4. Seems like a case for {{NCmaterial}}. – n8 () 17:49, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Well, there's the following quote from RTD, which certainly seems to be rule 4 affirmation:
RTD: Oh, sometimes I think I’m writing one long script. I think every show I’ve ever written fits into one big world. Bob & Rose could bump into Harold Saxon any day. I’m not just being glib – I kind of think about the things I write about all day long. That’s nothing unique, we all have stuff that we dwell on for the whole of our lives. So, yes, something I wrote ten years ago might surface in Scene 67 tomorrow. But it wasn’t ten years ago for me; it was always there.

And I might be wrong, but I think that because of T:BOUND, the minor licensed appearances thing on Talk:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is current policy. So the episode of Years and Years that Guinevere is mentioned in might be a candidate for coverage? (I haven't watched the series in question, so there might be something I'm missing.)

It should definitely be hashed out in a thread before action is taken, IMO. For one thing, Years & Years is more of a single six-part serial than a "series" — I don't think the episodes even have individual titles. So I think it would have to be all-in or all-out in terms of coverage (NCMaterial notwithstanding). I hadn't realised the much-vaunted general-purpose RTD Rule 4 quote was specifically in the context of a Years & Years interview, so that's interesting… Scrooge MacDuck 20:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
