*The news article identifies ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' as occuring in 2008, instead of 2009 (as the show's been a year ahead since ''[[Aliens of London]]''). ''The production team have deliberately stated that Series Three occurs within a space of a few days to rectify the year-off discrepancy that Aliens of London introduced, so the Whoniverse timeline is in sync with ours again.'' | *The news article identifies ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' as occuring in 2008, instead of 2009 (as the show's been a year ahead since ''[[Aliens of London]]'').
