Talk:Scream of the Shalka (webcast)

Merge request

Is there any reason why there should be separate Scream of the Shalka and Scream of the Shalka (webcast) articles? I don't see any reason for there to be separate articles, so if no one objects I will follow the old Wiki "Be Bold" philosophy and merge them, but I'll wait to see if there's any objection (I'm leaving a similar message on the talk page of the other article, too). 23skidoo 00:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

• Upon further comparison of the two articles there really is no reason for two separate articles to exist about the same production, so I have merged the content and changed this to a redirect to Scream of the Shalka. 23skidoo 03:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Continuity

The following was removed, since the story is non DWU, continuity cannot be added.

• The Doctor tells Mathilda Pierce that her cat "must have used up his nine lives - rather like me."
• Derek Jacobi appears in TV: Utopia, again playing the Master. However, the Master depicted in Scream of the Shalka actually resembles the incarnation of the Master played by Roger Delgado from 1971 to 1973.
• The Grant version of the Ninth Doctor has some similarities to Christopher Eccleston's version of the character. Both Doctors are depicted as loners and emotionally damaged due to some unrevealed event in their (possibly recent) past. Both, however, ultimately realise they need a companion. In the Grant Doctor's case, it is hinted that he is reluctant to take on a new companion, possibly due to the (recent?) loss of one — a theme later followed by David Tennant's Tenth Doctor after the loss of Rose Tyler.
• In PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles, Marnal notes that the Eighth Doctor "has three ninth incarnations". This probably refers to the canonical Ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston, this "Ninth Doctor" played by Richard E Grant, and the Ninth Doctor played by Rowan Atkinson in The Curse of Fatal Death).

Please do not re add this to the page. Thanks. MM/Want to talk? 22:47, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Once more, all this insformation is sound. #1 isn't a continuity note at all. #2 is more of a casting note. #3 is just a reference, no reference to continuity at all really. #4 is also a note of how a book made reference to this story. #4 definitely needs to be on the page, it's very important.
