Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In non-valid sources[[edit] | [edit source]]
While wearing a shirt with the logo of the Paris 2024 Olympics on it, Kate Shortman claimed that, as an Olympic athlete, she couldn't stop once she'd put her mind to something, meaning she'd continue cycling on the space bicycle to heat up the STARSHED for four years, until the next Olympics.[nb 1]. (TV: The STARSHED is just too cool! [+]Loading...["The STARSHED is just too cool! (TV story)"])
Other matters[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Doctor Who: Cybermen dates the late CyberFaction's attack on Space Station W3 to circa 2028. After another failed attack in 2070, the CyberFaction left the solar system and eventually colonised Telos, becoming the CyberTelosians.
- While the synopsis for Salt of the Earth places it in 2028, the text of the story placed it in the late 21st century.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- ↑ Although The STARSHED is just too cool! [+]Loading...["The STARSHED is just too cool! (TV story)"] doesn't explicitly state its setting as 2024, this is heavily implied by Kate Shortman's shirt featuring the Paris 2024 Olympics logo, meaning that the Olympics four years later would be the 2028 Summer Olympics, with the description also implicitly placing them in 2028.
