Talk:The Curator

Summer Falls

In Summer Falls, the novel based on the in-story book, the Doctor is known as the Curator and says "magic is cool". Do you think we should add some of that stuff on this page? It seems suspiciously similar.. ---Knight

Other Versions of The Doctor

Surely The Curator is a similar manifestation of The Doctor to The Watcher? An echo of his conciousness sent by a future version of The Doctor to help/remind himself of what he needs to do. --86.21.136.74^{talk to me} 18:26, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Well... there's really nothing in the narrative to suggest that. So that's more a Howling discussion than anything. --Constonks 19:47, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Elizabeth's letter

In Queen Elizabeth I's letter to the Doctor, which is delivered to the Eleventh Doctor by Kate Stewart early in the film, the Queen appoints the Doctor "curator to the under gallery where deadly danger to England is locked away". 147.194.20.157^{talk to me} 00:15, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

There's no evidence that Baker is the curator to the Under Gallery, though. The establishing shot and the changed environment visually suggests they're in the National Gallery proper.

Except it seems unlikely that Gallifrey Falls No More would be allowed out into the main gallery ? -- Beardouk ☎ 00:31, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

Apart from it being more reasonable, compare the room deco and styling of where the painting sits in the end scene, the same white-walled rooms shared by the other Time Lord 3d paintings, to where it was at the beginning of the serial when it was brought out into the regular gallery to demonstrate Elizabeth I's "credentials". The normal location of Gallifrey Falls No More is the Under-Gallery to which Tom Baker's character is referred to as the Curator. -- philosoraptor 107.3.161.174^{talk to me} 00:57, December 6, 2013 (UTC)
