I noticed that the infobox for The Seeds of Doom (TV story) lists its main setting as "Antarctic base, the 1970s; Chase Mansion, the 1970s". Isn't that a bit problematic, coming three stories after "I'm from 1980"? Of course, this is a huge and unresolvable problem. But should we really be "taking sides" in the dispute by saying that these stories take place in the 1970s? At the moment, nearly all UNIT stories list their setting as "the 1970s", except for The Android Invasion, which gives "circa 1980". Would we do better to remove dates from all UNIT stories, or to say "the 1970s or early 1980s", with a link to UNIT dating controversy? —Josiah Rowe ^{talk to me} 02:52, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

My suggestion is to remove the dates from the infobox, and put a reference and link to the UNIT dating controversy in the "Story Notes". Shambala108 ^{talk to me} 05:31, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
