Non-canon information slipping in
When I encountered it, the article said:
- Benton celebrates his seventieth birthday on 6th January 2008, with a party attended by, amongst many others, the Sixth Doctor and Mel. Benton meets this incarnation of the Doctor for the first time on this occasion (Time's Champion) and plays a vital role in the multiversal catastrophe which ensues later.
- By 2010, when he attended Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane's wedding, he was in his early 70s. (NA: Happy Endings)
Because Time's Champion is a disallowed resource for in-universe articles (See: TARDIS:Canon policy. Talk:Time's Champion), I redacted this whole section to basically "Benton attended the wedding of Benny and Jason in 2010". My question is whether he's described as being in his early 70s in Happy Endings. If so, that little snippet can go back in. But it seemed like an extrapolation based upon TC, even though it was credited to HE. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 22:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Alrighty, the exact wording is "...a stocky, tanned man in his early seventies." (page 72) He drives a green electric Bentley incidentally. I've changed the article to reflect this info. --Tangerineduel 15:18, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
