- I think a shot of the ominous cloud around the TARDIS a la 2 would be very cool, but I'm not keen on how the effect distorts the words on the "POLICE BOX" and "PULL TO OPEN" bits in most stills I tried to grab. Also, wholly unserious (To the point I'm not gonna bother to grab a screencap of it) suggestion, just a frame from the SUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKHSUTEKH bit would be funny - CodeAndGin | 🗨 | 17:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- What about #4, which has Zombie Susan and the SUTEKH on the screen? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 18:16, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- 4 would look better if you cropped Mel off the left there. WaltK ☎ 18:27, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- You can't see the effects on 2 at scale, I'm a fan of that one. 3 and 4 give a bit too much away imo. Najawin ☎ 18:38, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have a screengrab to hand but could one from the 'Time Window' scene work? Out of the available options so far, I like #2. — Fractal • 22:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with Najawin. Most of the current options are too spoilery imo. If somebody were to simply click on this episode page to determine if they'd seen the episode or not - perhaps to read the synopsis section, the main image would give everything away. I agree with Fractal that an image from the 'Time Window' scene would be more appropriate, especially considering the name of the episode and how much if the story links to Ruby's past. 66 Seconds ☎ 15:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Potential script error?
The Doctor instructs Kate to analyse "Every single pixel" of the VHS image, VHS as an analogue format has a fixed number of (horizontal) lines, but I think the effective number of vertical lines that could be shown depended on the quality of the equipment used to record it? All the descriptions I can find of horizontal resolution seem to be "approximate" until the laserdisk/DVD era where the recording is a bit more digital. Is it right to be talking about pixels for an analogue format like this? This seems like the sort of things the Doctor would know given that he happily hacks together equipment from vastly different eras on a regular basis. --NonUniqueName ☎ 21:55, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
