Talk:Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (TV story)

Set entirely within the TARDIS

"This is the first full episode in the BBC Wales version of the show to be set entirely within the Doctor's TARDIS, although several mini-episodes have been as well." what about amy's choice?– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.198.193.186 (talk).

Please sign your posts. Amy's Choice was set partially in the TARDIS, and partially in Upper Leadworth (both being dreams, of course).

More than that, this story wasn't set entirely in the TARDIS - primarily so, of course, but several scenes were set on the Van Baalens' spaceship. 210.1.215.90^{talk to me} 04:30, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well... if we went by that, then nothing would be set entirely in the TARDIS. Are we going to discount The Edge of Destruction simply because they walked out of the TARDIS for a few seconds at the end? Of course not! There's just approx. 4 and a half minutes of footage outside of the TARDIS in Journey, so I consider it to be entirely set within the TARDIS.

There's a massive difference between the end of The Edge of Destruction and the fact that this episode clearly has scenes set outside the TARDIS. Tardis1963 talk 08:10, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Then why don't we rename the category to something like, "stories set primarily in the TARDIS" or "stories set largely in the TARDIS". "Entirely" is such an absolute term, and there are bound to be exceptions, so why not give it a little wiggle room? Memnarc ☎ 04:17, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

People who know The Doctor's name

I specified that River was the first of the Doctor's companions to learn his name, not the first person. Drax knows it, as likely do many other Time Lords, up to and including The Master. Vbartilucci ☎ 20:07, April 28, 2013 (UTC)vbartilucci

Cast list

The credited actors for the time zombies aren't mentioned, though I'm not sure if it should be put up exactly as in the credits,

Or the more streamlined

Time Zombies - Sarah Louise Madison, Ruari Mears, Paul Kasey

Which seems more "proper"? -- Tybort (talk page) 07:45, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well, first of all, what's our source for the actors in the first place? From the credits? If so, then we should put it exactly as in the credits, although, if the first option, the last two should be de-wikified.

Telescope from Tooth and Claw

I don't have Tooth and Claw on hand right now, but is it really supposed to be the telescope from that episode or just any big observatory? The telescope in that episode isn't even a functioning one, it was just a weapon to kill the werewolf. -- Tybort (talk page) 16:43, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I was the one filling that note (sorry, no username, I think I'll register soon).

I did compare them, because that shape really remembered me that episode.

They differ a bit (the tube from Tooth and Claw is a bit bigger on the top, and smaller on the bottom, the half-moon figure is reversed), but globally, the resemblance is impressive.

It can't be from any observatory, as many details (the half moon, the wheels, the overall shape) are too much unique.

It's probably just a copy the Doctor made, anyway, not the original (which would account for the small differences) --93.50.83.19^{talk to me} 18:18, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

It may have been the same cgi/model used in the production as the Tooth and Claw telescope, but that does not mean it is meant to be the same in universe. Geek Mythology ☎ 18:20, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm with you. The art direction team probably repurposed the telescope but it's a leap to say it's the same telescope in the TARDIS as existed in Tooth and Claw. This implies that The Doctor removed it from its location and installed it in the TARDIS. Given the age of the TARDIS, it's more likely that the observatory has been there for hundreds, if not thousands of years and is not a recent invention. 63.143.218.107^{talk to me} 19:21, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Plot

Why is the plot section so.. meager? I can extend it if no one else's doing it. Puchplimmirdeyslithin ☎ 19:43, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
