Who said the photos were declassified? The website Mickey hacked into in ''World War Three'' to blow up the Slitheen was classified, but with the right person giving the right info, anything can be gotten into. If anything, the improbability just adds to 89's point about somebody having helped them get there.And yes, it is hard to imagine a photo being taken during the events of ''Cold War'', but, I can't remember the photo clearly, could it have been taken during their trip back to the south pole ''after'' the events of that episode? For random one from ''Hide'', as you put it, well, random old photos are all over the internet. It is the stumbling across the right old photo which is the tricky bit.

Imamadmad, "could it have been taken during their trip back to the south pole ''after'' the events of that episode [''Cold War'']?": It does look as if it was taken after the action. It's obviously posed, with Clara, Captain Zhikov, the Doctor & Prof. Grisenko standing in a close group & a couple of ratings in the background. It looks, in fact, like a photo taken as a memento of the events. The photo has "1983 Firebird" handwritten on it & the date overlaps the white margin, as if written on a print that was later scanned into a computer. | |||
By contrast, the photo from ''Hide'' looks unposed, as if taken during the action by one of the cameras that were part of Alec Palmer's investigative equipment. There's nothing written on it & the bottom margin is wider than the others, as you get when room's left for a caption but none has been added. | |||
The photo of Victorian Clara also looks posed, as any photo from that era had to be ("snapshots" weren't technically possible), & could well have been taken before the action of ''The Snowmen'', while Victorian Clara was in the Latimer household as "Miss Montigue", since she's wearing her governess clothes (& face). This one looks like there's part of a frame visible. | |||
Artie said he'd found the ''Cold War'' photo "at school", though he didn't say if he found it during a lesson or not, but nothing was said about how they found the other two images. | |||
The photos, BTW, are easy to examine closely on the BBC iPlayer, by stopping the playback at the right moments. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.65.145|89.242.65.145]]<sup>[[User talk:89.242.65.145#top|talk to me]]</sup> 05:51, May 12, 2013 (UTC) | |||
