# I had thought that someone had said that both Reg and Fred were intended to be the policeman, implying that they were the same individual, so I wanted to clarify that they weren't, even though upon reflection that seemed a bit obvious. | # I had thought that someone had said that both Reg and Fred were intended to be the policeman, implying that they were the same individual, so I wanted to clarify that they weren't, even though upon reflection that seemed a bit obvious. | ||
# As for the airdate being the date in which ''AUC'' is set, 22 November, well that was a Friday. So still a schoolday, surely? <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 13:02, 28 August 2021 (UTC) | # As for the airdate being the date in which ''AUC'' is set, 22 November, well that was a Friday.

See, a lot of what you're saying is based on assumptions/guesswork. So is a lot of what I'M saying, sure (my headcanon is even that the reason Saturday is a schoolday in AUC is Coal Hill School has some optional bonus studies on that day even though AUC has ZERO indication it's anything but a normal schoolday), but I'm not arguing anything definite. You are. I'm just saying there's not quite ENOUGH evidence to merge them, not saying they CAN'T be the same indivual. But, to respond to your points. | |||
# There's no suggestion of any of that in AUC. And I think he would have intervened earlier with Ian and Barbara stalking a student if so. | |||
# Sure, there's absolutely no issue with it being in century with the short story A Long Night, which dates the events of AUC to 23rd November | |||
# Well, then why even bring up Reg? | |||
# You thought wrong | |||
# Yes. That would make more sense, logically, I admit. But it still doesn't seem to be what this book is going for. [[User:NightmareofEden|NightmareofEden]] [[User talk:NightmareofEden|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:24, 28 August 2021 (UTC) | |||
