First return to contemporary Earth?!
The article mentioned that this was the first adventure taking place on contemporary Earth, which is not true--Planet of Giants was the first. So, I removed that line from the opening paragraph.
Later, the story notes say, "This is the first return to contemporary London for the Doctor." I don't remember Planet of Giants ever saying exactly where it takes place, but my guess would be outside of London. The Chase also featured a return to contemporary Earth, but in New York. So, technically this is probably true, but a bit misleading. I'm not sure whether this line should stay or go, so I left it. --75.36.135.55 15:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Firstly there is nothing explicitly stating that Planet of the Giants takes place on Earth. The assumption is that it takes place on Earth. But as there are not enough explicit identifying features to make a concise descsion.
- Secondly, the statement "first return to contemporary London for the Doctor" is because in The Chase Babs and Ian return to 'contemporary London', but also like the former in the New York scene there is nothing identifying to mark out a date for when it is set. --Tangerineduel 15:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
