Going to step in here and do the 'Reference' section for Dalek.

  1. Rose states that there is a piece of Slitheen on display.
  2. Bad Wolf is mentioned as van Statten's helicopter lands: "Bad Wolf One descending..." This is one of the only known occasions in which a Bad Wolf reference is made in such a context that it is not seen or heard by either Rose or the Doctor.
  3. Van Statten calls Adam "Little Lord Fauntleroy".
  4. The Doctor mutters the line, "I win, how 'bout that" near the end of the story. The Master utters a similar line near his death in Last of the Time Lords, "How 'bout that, I win".
  5. Van Statten's mention of "the Russian crater" could be a reference to the Tunguska event.
  6. The Doctor recognises the mileometer from the spacecraft that famously crashed at Roswell New Mexico in 1947 (seen in TV: Dreamland, TV: Prisoner of the Judoon). Van Statten later indicates that he developed broadband Internet from technology salvaged from the vessel.
  7. The Time War is mentioned and elaborated on by the Doctor and the Dalek.
  8. One of the "weapons" in Adam's workshop is a hairdryer.
  9. Van Statten suggests leaving Polkowski in Minneapolis or Memphis.
  10. Diana suggests leaving van Statten in Seattle, San Diego or Sacramento.

I have, I'm not sure if any one else has, sat through an episode of Doctor Who or Torchwood etc and edited the reference section as I went along. So I do have a idea of what I would, currently, find to be acceptable to be in reference.

  1. Yes, this is fine a reference.
  2. Might move it to continuity, but is also fine in references.
  3. See point 1.
  4. Move to continuity of Last of the Time Lords.
  5. Reword, it is a possibility, so Tunguska Event would be removed, ending the sentence after 'crater'.
  6. Keep in references, but move it to the continuity of Dreamland and Judoon.
  7. See point 2.
  8. See point 1.
  9. See point 1.
  10. See point 1.

Let take points 7 and 8 - say we has 'Connection' set up - how would we display these?

Like this? Where have 'source', like the continuity section now.

  • The Doctor mention the Time War. (<inset stories that refered the Time War here>)
  • Adam has a hairdryer as one of his 'weapons'. (<insert stories where hairdryers appeared)

Or do we go with out 'source', like the reference section is now:

  • The Doctor mention the Time War.
  • Adam has a hairdryer as one of his 'weapons'.
