Eye Patch Lady
There seem to be a lot of valid sources that are indicating Frances Barber character appearing briefly in all episodes similair to Day of the Moon before her big debut in episode 7 as a story arc (similair to the way the cracks appeared last series). Could it be added to the myths section that the Eye Patch lady will make a brief appearance. -- Michael Downey 10:37, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
- If you find a source, then yes, I would be happy to add it. Mini-mitch\talk 10:49, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Avery is the same Avery from The Smugglers?
I read that this episode will be a prequel of sorts to The Smugglers. I haven't read or watched that story yet but i noticed on the wiki page for it, there is a character named Avery. Could he be the same Avery in this episode, or perhaps a younger or older Avery? Maybe even a relative? Rawrgoaway 04:13, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Turns out that there was a real pirate by the name of Henry Avery [1] (sometimes spelled Every) who disappeared in 1696. Could be the man in this episode. Dascott 19:45, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
story notes
The episode was moved up to the spring run because Steven Moffat thought the first part of the series contained "not enough outside". (Source: DWM 430) D0ct0r11 19:54, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
Missing crewman
Did I blink or was there a crewman with the black spot in the powder room with the companions and the boy (rebarricaded the door after he got the spot and his mate left) who suddenly wasnt there when they returned? 83.104.138.141 02:39, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed this too. Perhaps a scene was cut? There have been deleted scenes before so who knows. Seems like too big of a thing to be a mistake. Rawrgoaway 03:29, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
Walking the Plank 'Never Happened'?
This supposed 'production error' is not an error - instances were rare, but it was documented to have happened on at least four occasions in the real world - the 'Fourth Dimension' section of the episode guide on the BBC website even states "... Many believe this practice is a myth created by Hollywood, but historical literature records several verifiable instances of the punishment which can be traced back to at least the 17th century." and I can only find evidence to back this upBaziel 14:06, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
