Talk:Brian Green

Age

I think he was born in the early to mid 1940s as there is no way that Green looks over 70 (if he was born in the 1930's). ~~MercM~~

Well he said he was a kid in 1965 so maybe he was born in the 50's or late 40's. Whoniverse93 09:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Editing

"If the crisis went wrong"- who wrote this? The whole point of something being a crisis is if it went wrong. This needs heavy alterations.

Office dates

Lets be clear about this, every Doctor Who/Torchwood/SJA serial has been set one year ahead of transmission date since Aliens of London, so Green left office in 2010, not 2009. I will be changing it to 2010 everytime someone decides to be ignorant and follow a continuity error mentioned in the programme. ~~MercM~~

Speculation after Day Five

I removed the references to him resigning and Riley succeeding him. First, neither event occurred in the episode, and no follow-up episode or story has confirmed this (even if it is obvious). And the UK Prime Ministers office doesn't work like the US Presidency; there isn't a vice-prime minister waiting in the wings. Assuming Green resigned, an interim leader would be selected and a by-election called (or more likely a federal election in this case). All this is stuff to be covered in a follow-up story, since the Six Months Later segment makes no reference to any of this. 23skidoo 03:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Plus to be honest, UK leaders have survived much greater scandals, plus most Briton's dont like the US/UK special relationship with US dominance so the comment wouldn't have ended Green's career. MercM

I don't think it was just about him blaming the US. After he agreed to give away 10% of the planet's children, he considered himself lucky because he had a chance to save his political career. After Frobisher killed his family because of Green's attempts to protect himself politically, he wouldn't have remained prime minister if people found out that his career was all that he cared about.
