Talk:The Girl Who Died (TV story)

TENTH DOCTOR AND DONNA NOBLE

Since in the Girl Who Died, the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble appear in flashback can we put it in the category tenth doctor television stories? --5.71.219.12^{talk to me} 11:45, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

No. A flashback is only a flashback. It doesn't make it a Tenth Doctor television story, nor a Donna Noble appearance. --DCLM ☎ 12:05, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Then, why is it counted as an appearence on Tenth Doctor - list of appearances? --5.71.219.12^{talk to me} 12:10, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

It shouldn't be. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 17:36, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Could the presence of Tennant and Tate at the very least be acknowledge in the casting sect with a "archival footage" note? (I am somewhat new here, so don't crucify me for not knowing a policy or be aware of another similar discussion elsewhere)TzarBorisII ☎ 03:11, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

We don't do "archival footage" notes, I'm afraid. And Tennant and Tate weren't present, as the actors didn't show up themselves but were merely a flashback. We don't add Capaldi's former character Caecilius as appearing either, as he too was just a flashback. --DCLM ☎ 12:00, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

If you say so, it must be true... Then again, on the page of certain episodes, (e.g.:The 50th anniversary special) the name of the actors who played the doctor are mentioned even if their presence were by use of archival footage...TzarBorisII ☎ 04:24, October 24, 2015 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the exception:

The one exception for this rule is if the archive footage is used in a way to make it look like the characters are actually there, such as in "The Day of the Doctor". Sorry for any confusion. --DCLM ☎ 12:55, October 24, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about that DCLM, the way that these email notifications work is that I'm sent to not sent to the latest version when I check out the changes to the page, so I keep accidentally editing an older version. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:23, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

No worries. --DCLM ☎ 10:41, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

Clarke's Law

Which line/scene in the episode mentioned Clarke's Law? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:01, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

The scene where The Doctor plans to trick the others into thinking that his yo-yo is magic. I don't think he says the name, but others listed at Clarke's Law also are references no made by name. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:05, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

Synopsis removed

I've removed the synopsis for this episode because it was copied from the BBC website with just a few changes made in the wording. Per Tardis:Plagiarism, we require original content on this site. A synopsis only needs about three sentences describing the basic idea of the episode. Shambala108 ☎ 01:32, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

Monty Python

The appearance of the false Odin in the clouds strongly evokes the appearance of God in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Is there any evidence that it was a deliberate reference? -GrantHarding ☎ 15:11, February 25, 2017 (UTC)
