Howling:"You saved me in 2008."
A pesky continuity error that everyone overlooks. In The Fires of Popeii, Donna says the Doctor saved her in 2008 - what event was she refering to? The Runaway Bride was December 2007, and Partners in Crime was around Spring 2009. What is this 2008 business about?! Delton Menace 17:32, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
Oh great more things that RTD has f**ked up on. -- Michael Downey 18:45, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
You can hardly blame him for not keeping up with online fan discussions :S Cannon881 21:40, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
No, I'm blaming him for contradicting himself my naming different dates in episodes. -- Michael Downey 21:43, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
RTD didn't write that episode. -- Noneofyourbusiness 21:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
I don't think RTD has the duty to ensure the dates used for episodes are consistent. That's the Continuity Department's problem, if anything. Cannon881 21:55, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
Yes I know RTD didn't write it but RTD oversee's everything and part write's all the scripts e.g like adding things like bad wolf etc and the episode had probably have to been read by many people over like 100 times to check it's okay with no mistakes. -- Michael Downey 22:03, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
The famous dating controversy of the Russell T. Davies era is, like the UNIT dating controversy, simply irresolvable. Best thing to do is forget about it, relax, and enjoy the show, keeping in mind that now (somehow or another) the Doctor Who universe timeline is back on track with ours. --Bluebox444 , 17:24, February 27, 2010 (EST)
The one who could be held responsible for the mistake is the writer (James Moran) or the script editor who must make sure their is no problem with the continuity (Brian Minchin) ; but in Doctor Who, we also have someone who is suppose to supervise the continuity, in this episode it was Sheila Johnston. But is it really their fault, maybe it was Catherine Tate who simply didn't remember the correct number or it might have been a typo mistake... Anyway, it's just a TV show... --4me 23:50, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
