Talk:Human Nature (TV story)

I thought Family of blood was part 2 of the Human nature story!

A much briefer and more compact version was substituted in the Wikipedia article by me, and this can be used here instead of the detailed version if desired. --Tony Sidaway 14:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The Journal in Rose

This one sounds a bit unlikely and probably should have a source added to it. Can anyone confirm that the Journal of Impossible Things actually appears in Clive's possession in "Rose"? I doubt it since they probably had no idea they'd be adapting the novel at that early stage; perhaps it was just a notebook. Are there any sources - interviews, DW Confidential, magazine articles, DVD commentaries - to support this? If not, it probably should be removed as baseless speculation. 68.146.41.232 18:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The novel

Does this episode make the Human Nature novel continuity? The evil dudeArnie 18:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Definitely not. There are a lot of differences, not the least of which is the fact that the novel involves the Seventh Doctor and Bernice Summerfield. -DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 10:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Though one could argue that because they're significantly different in a number of regards, they could be separate adventures. It's a massively thorny issue though, and would require a very careful reading of the novel to establish them as wholly distinct adventures. Paul Cornell, for his part, wrote a bit of a tome on canon following the televised adventure, essentially to avoid having to directly answer which one was the more canonical.
