Ood?

How can the Atraxi have footage of The Ood in 2010?

It may be that the Atraxi did some sort of temporal scan. They follow the Doctor twelve years into the future to recapture Prisoner Zero, which implies time travel technology, and many segments of the video displayed happen in the relative future from 2010 (including the clip of Nine, which is clearly from The Parting of the Ways). This would explain the apparent inconsistencies in their knowledge, including of things that didn't even happen on Earth.


Premature image?

Do we know for certain that the image of the Doctor outside his TARDIS used to illustrate this article is from this episode? I would think one of the shots of him in the Tenth Doctor's outfit would be more appropriate for this story. (The image is a good one to use for the season article, though, as well as whatever episode ends up actually having the sequence). 23skidoo 02:18, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Nope. And beyond that, it's low-res, drawn from a webcast. And it's got the wrong license on it. And it likely doesn't even capture the narrative mood of the story. So it's a total waste of time to even have uploaded it and attached it to this article. Putting a picture up of a story which hasn't even aired yet is, frankly, insane. Patience allows for better, more efficient work. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 13:28, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
I'm fine with having the image removed for now. 23skidoo 03:15, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bogus airdate

I removed the 13 March airdate. The BBC has not announced the schedule yet. Any airdate from any source that is not the BBC is to be removed as bogus. 23skidoo 03:15, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

  • And as the BBC has now officially announced April 2010, that proves my point. Sources other than the BBC have never been correct for any of the 3 series in predicting the airdate. This probably means 3 April as that's Easter Saturday, but let's hold off until it's official in case the show is changing nights or the season premiere is shifted to Easter Sunday as a special. 23skidoo 22:48, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • the latest trailer says easter :D
  • There was a trailer that said specifically "Saturday, 3rd April", and there is a photo proof of that trailer. However, BBC denies such a trailer has been aired. What do we do with this information? Follow the trailer or the BBC crew? 188.33.195.231 18:46, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
Where's the photographic proof? I've never seen a trailer which said anything other than Easter. The article in fact linked to a trailer which said "Easter", but tried to claim that was a source for "3 April". Thus, I've changed all references to "Easter 2010", because that's all we seem to be able to prove at the moment. The 4th is just as probable to me, now that we have in fact had an episode to run on a Sunday (WOM). CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 15:19, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
I've seen the trailer with the 3 April date. I'd link it if I could, but I've no idea where I actually saw it other than it was recorded off the telly. RoccondilRinon 21:52, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
Oddly, both BBC website versions of that still say "Easter 2010"... The b-Unit's167th Drophyd 06:38, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
That is odd, but I've linked the trailer showing the airdate in the main article now. The "Series 5" page has listed the 3 April date uncontested for a while now. RoccondilRinon 07:25, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Errrr...every other episode page has specific dates, where did these come from? Because, surely, if they are true we have a definite date for this episode as well. (3rd April) The b-Unit's167th Drophyd 15:34, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

The other pages are probably worked out from the assumed 3rd April starting date. --Tangerineduel 15:43, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
Ahhhh...okay The b-Unit's167th Drophyd 16:20, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

In case another source is needed for April 3, Moffat said so on BBC Breakfast after the press launch. I'm replacing the source on the Infobox which was a) a blog, b) apparently working off the disputed trailer, and c) was loaded with javascript adds that caused my Intel Mac to crash (heaven knows what it might do to others). As always, we should use BBC sources when possible and Moffat on BBC Breakfast is much better than a fan blog. 23skidoo 14:24, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

You have "in it's title" ... it should be "in its title". Sorry to be pedantic, but I would just correct it, but it's been semi-protected and thus I cannot.


The East Coast debut is listed as April 14th, 2007. I think it should be changed to 2010. Jedman67 15:38, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
