Talk:Horror of Fang Rock (TV story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Removed myth
The "Myths" section used to say this:
- Designer Paul Allen researched the lighthouse sets from a book called Lighthouses, Lightships and Buoys by E G Jerrome. (He didn't. He visited two lighthouses, took lots of photographs of them, and based his designs on those.)
However, the production notes (INFO) for Horror of Fang Rock say that he did. In fact, they say that his main source was Lighthouses of England And Wales by Derrick Jackson, in which he found information on and images of the lighthouse at the Needles on the Isle of Wight — but it then goes on to say that both Allen and Terrance Dicks used the Jerrome book.
Now, it's possible that the info text is wrong. (Perhaps Dicks used the Jerrome children's book, but Allen used only Jackson.) But we shouldn't say so unless we've got a source to cite. —Josiah Rowe talk to me 03:19, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
