Doctor Who confidential name
The Doctor Who confidential episode name is About A Boy. Can someone please add this. Alpha111 11:34, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Setting
Might just have missed this, but how did we get the setting as 2010? Aliyoda 00:36, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Because when the Doctor asks how old George is, he said he's eight. The Doctor said he was bron in 2002. So that makes the year date 2010. BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 06:56, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- No; he was born in January 2003; the Doctor points out a photo from Christmas '02 to make the point that his mother wasn't pregnant a month before he was born. 2011. Raven's wing 07:54, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- He was born in 2003, and Alex says that "he's 8 in January", which clearly means he's yet to turn 8. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:59, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- He was eight in January. This episode takes place in 2011. MM/Want to talk? 18:34, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

- Actually, you might want to put this in the errors section, because I'm sure I heard both: he will be eight in January and later on turned eight in January. Of course, you could also mention that it's possible that the Perception Filter is playing with his mind. 86.152.230.201 19:38, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- He says "He's 8 in January" early on, then "He just turned 8." It's possible that in the first case he intended it to come out more like "He's eight. In January." (note the grammatical difference) However, the second is explicitly clear that he is already eight years old. d ●●● 19:41, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Main image
I don't like the main image Skittles wanted. It doesn't really describe the episode. It's called "Night Terrors", which mean a night terror. Overcoming your feels doesn't really describe the episode. Mine does, it shows a man turned into a doll in front of Amy and Rory. So I'm taking the image down until we have an agreement. Here are the images: BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 09:12, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

The one I want.
The one Skittles wants.
- No the whole point of the episode is about George facing and confronting his fears, not people being turned into Dolls. I'm readding Skittle's image since there is no point to his discussion. MM/Want to talk? 16:32, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
"In the flesh"
At the end of the episode, the Doctor says, "It's good to be all back together again… in the flesh." Given the importance of the Flesh in this series, mention of this line should probably be filed somewhere on the main page for Night Terrors as part of the series focus on the Flesh.
- Honestly, it just sounds like he's referring to Amy not being a Peg Doll anymore. d ●●● 19:59, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree he might be referring to being not peg dolls (sorry but I can't put it simpler :() 81.102.113.192 09:33, September 5, 2011 (UTC) Me
Words to the song?
Tick-tock
Goes the clock
Even for the Doctor
I know there are words before that, I just can't understand them. Anyone else had any luck?
