Talk:Wendy Coburn

Speculation

I made an assumption that the "W Coburn" listed as the current headmaster of the school is the same person as Wendy Coburn, one of Susan Foreman's classmates (Year Four) briefly mentioned in the first episode, as well as in a subsequent prose (considered canon). Obviously, there is a faint chance it could refer to a different person, but that is unlikely.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Accessdbpro (talk • contribs) .

Hi :) Thanks for your edit. However, please take care not to introduce speculation into articles. Sometimes, coincidences are just coincidences. There is absolutely no instance of the word "Coburn" in the script to An Unearthly Child. Nor is it an established TV fact that Susan was in Year Four. Wendy Coburn was named after the (credited) writer of the TV episode, Anthony Coburn, and the bit in The Name of the Doctor is like an oblique reference to Anthony rather than a specific one to this entirely ancillary character. For us to include your factoid on this wiki, we'd have to have Steven Moffat telling us he was specifically referencing the character — given her almost total obscurity.
