I've moved the uncredited cast to the talk page until they can be properly sourced (not IMDB).

So, I see for the "settings" in the infobox, you've put "2009", which is logical since all "modern day" stories in ''Doctor Who'' and its spin-offs are a year ahead of their broadcast, however it may not be that simple. | |||
The novel [[Pack Animals (novel)|Pack Animals]] is set, according to your Wiki, in October 2008. I've vigorously flicked through the book myself and it makes clear reference to A Day in The Death being a previous event. Furthermore, at the start of Chapter Six, on page 57, it states "On this freezing Saturday morning in November". | |||
Therefore, the dating for ''A Day in the Death'' is wrong. It should be November 2008, as November 2009 is post-Children of Earth. Nowhere before then have I seen "October". I know that most people would stick to the dating protocols but as far as I recall, the actual episode itself mentions nothing about the year in which it's set. That makes the novel ''a lot'' more reliable as a source. Thoughts?
