Talk:Monty Python's Big Red Book

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Assuming in-universe articles are meant to be taken from the series rather than real life, shouldn't this page be titled 'Monty Python's Big Red Book', as this appears to be the only specific reference made?

good point. I changed it. Stardizzy2 20:41, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
The consequence of this change, which I agree should have happened, is that the article contained a lot of information relevant to Monty Python, but not the Big Red Book. I removed the now-extraneous information, but leave it here, in case it might be used on a future Monty Python article:
The book was a spin-off of Monty Python's Flying Circus, a famous Earth comedy television program and movie franchise of the mid-late 20th century, and was first published in the 1970s.

(The above not at all supported by the episode, so should be permanently discarded.)

==Behind the Scenes==
*Monty Python alumnus John Cleese made a cameo appearance in City of Death. Cleese remains, to date, the only Python to appear in a Doctor Who story. 
*Minor Monty Python contributor Douglas Adams wrote or co-wrote several Doctor Who stories, including City of Death as well as serving as a Script Editor for the series.
*The Torchwood episode Random Shoes features a character called Terry Jones, possibly a reference to the Monty Python member of the same name, although being set in Wales, Terry Jones is a fairly common  name.
*Monty Python member, Michael Palin, was referenced in Partners in Crime.
*In 42, one of the questions to open a deadlocked door was "What is your favorite colour?", a reference to the questions asked by the bridgekeeper in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 
*At one point or another, Python alumni Cleese, Jones, Palin, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman had all been speculated in the media as potential portrayers of the Doctor.
