It says the 1995 VHS release was unedited. Does that mean the Fleetwood Mac song was included? I was under the impression the 2011 DVD release was the first time the song had been included in a home video edition of the story.

:I was mistaken in my earlier edit. Oh Well did appear on the 1995 VHS release. A quick Gallifrey Base search cleared this out.

::::If you browse through audio and television story pages, you might notice that there are hardly any cast notes; this is because they were removed a few years ago (mostly by [[User:CzechOut]] and a few by me). Any that are still there have slipped in under the radar. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:53, November 17, 2017 (UTC) | |||

The two hearts are quite clearly visible. Yes, it's a graphic of a skeleton, but surely that's no more important than the radar image of the spheres being a graphic, not a real radar image.[[Special:Contributions/165.225.80.225|165.225.80.225]]<sup>[[User talk:165.225.80.225#top|talk to me]]</sup> 14:30, November 17, 2017 (UTC) | The two hearts are quite clearly visible.

:Another good catch! This is not a production error as the crew '''chose''' to use this graphic. The information has been removed. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:53, November 17, 2017 (UTC) | |||
==Filming Locations== | |||
"The BBC's engineering training centre at Wood Norton near Evesham, Worcestershire and in a nearby pub in Radford." | |||
I'm not aware of any filming taking place in a pub. Perhaps the author was thinking of Wheelbarrow Castle Cottage, which was used as Seeley's cottage and is next door to The Wheelbarrow Castle pub.[[Special:Contributions/165.225.80.225|165.225.80.225]]<sup>[[User talk:165.225.80.225#top|talk to me]]</sup> 16:33, November 21, 2017 (UTC) | |||

"Producer Derrick Sherwin makes an uncredited cameo appearance as a UNIT commissionaire, making him the only person involved in the series as both producer and actor, as well as the second of five people (the others being Victor Pemberton, Glyn Jones, Mark Gatiss, and Toby Whithouse) involved as both writer and actor." | |||
As this article states, it was an uncredited cameo appearance. And as the article for Doctor Who and the Silurians confirms, Barry Letts made an uncredited cameo appearance in that story. So he can be added to both lists! And Terrance Dicks and Trevor Ray make the cut for the second list as well.[[Special:Contributions/165.225.76.164|165.225.76.164]]<sup>[[User talk:165.225.76.164#top|talk to me]]</sup> 12:20, May 2, 2018 (UTC) | |||
