Talk:The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)
Type of leaf
In the "Production errors" section, the leaf shown in The Bells of Saint John is described as coming from a maple. The tree was in an English suburban street & is most likely to have been a plane tree (genus Platanus), not a maple (genus Acer). The leaves are similar in shape but planes are much more common in Britain than are maples. --89.242.68.62talk to me 01:27, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
Cultural reference
The Doctor says "I've seen things you wouldn't believe." Sounds like the "I've seen things you poeple wouldn't believe" from Blade Runner...

I actually believe that the Real World Cultural References subheading of the references section should be removed entirely. Some of the things that are being added are getting ridiculous. That's not to say some of them aren't valid references. The literary references should receive their own subheading. The reference to Akhenaten could be moved to the Akhaten article under the Behind the Scenes heading. The Hooloovoo reference has been moved previously to the Behind the Scenes heading on its own article and therefore doesn't need reiteration in this article. Everything else that's been edited there so far have been reaching for references at best. Just my two cents.

- I kind of disagree, thought being only a reader I won't modify anything apart the talk page. I find it usefull to have a trivia section on the page of the episode, even if the trivia is mentioned elsewhere. That way you only have to read the episode's page to get them. For exemple as a big HHGTTG fan (thought the books and radio series, not the movie) I'm quite happy to see the reference directly on ths apge and not on the Hooloovoo page...
Furthermore, since there is another mention of Blade runner on the page of the article, I think that my remark has it's place :)
