Talk:The Snowmen (TV story)

TARDIS prop

Was It just me, or was the tardis prop used in the episode the 9th/10th doctors with a saint john's ambulance logo?. It even made the same creaking noise when he opened the door. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 109.77.169.158 (talk).

I think it's always been essentially the same prop for the modern series. They just spruced it up with a new, brighter blue coat of paint and added the St. John's Ambulance badge for the Eleventh Doctor. The creak is a sound effect; if it disappeared for a while, that just suggests that when the TARDIS "regenerated" in The Eleventh Hour it managed to oil the door, and now the squeak has returned. — Josiah Rowe ☎ 04:23, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Great Intelligence

Just a question (and forgive me, I am new to this)... is the mention of Great Intelligence an error? I do not think its the same "Great Intelligence" as the one with the Yeti... (Of course I am watching now, so I could be wrong). I just want to make sure the reference matches up. Thanks. Hotshot70 ☎ 05:45, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be intended to be the same - note the reference to the London underground in 1967. -- Beardouk ☎ 06:31, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Ian McKellen - Voice of the Great Intelligence.

This image (a little more visible when clicked on) probably helps things, too. -- Tybort (talk page) 12:39, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

It is indeed the same Great Intelligence. 78.8.184.207^{talk to me} 12:55, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Cultural Reference

There is a traditional form of theatre at Christmas in the UK called pantomime. One of the stories is called Jack and The Beanstalk. Jack climbs a majic beanstalk and finds the castle of a giant at the top. The spiral stair with the Tardis on a cloud at the top reminds me of that.

Stairs

Notice how at a point near the clouds, the stair rotation flips? going up, at first clara goes up and to the right, but when she reaches a certain point, suddenly its up and to the left - noticable especially in the shot showing Clara and the Doctor going up and to their left, versus the ice governor at the bottom of the shot. The first wide-shot of the stairs when clara first ascends it, there's an obvious point where they've done the mirror. wots that about? edit: woops, forgot wavy lines.

Digby

Possible thing. Digby here would be what, in his fifties during the events of The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe. (1892 to 1941 - 49 years.) And that episode's location (on the 1941 side) is an "Uncle Digby's" house. Second christmas special in a row, but only a coincidence? I think not. -AlexMcpherson ☎ 06:01, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
