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?

== Dating in Relation to the Series as a Whole == | |||
I noticed that the first seven episodes of series 2 are said to occur in 2008, which is odd considering the usual one-year-ahead thing. This episode is the first of the series to be considered in 2009. Is their an in-story reason the episodes are so marked that I am forgetting, or was this an error?
