Talk:Battlefield (TV story)
Why isn't the Brigadier marked as a companion for this story? Sir Hat-a-lot 14:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- well there's two debates in one here. Is the Brigadier a companion at all, and does a character who was a companion automatically become one every time they appear.
- For the former, I would say that he was one (he is listed as uch on the BBC website) - for the latter, I would say not in all cases - and I think this would be one of the cases where it doesn't work, as he acts as a returning star rather than a companion here. But I don't mind either way, so If others agree to add him here, then I'll go with that. Jack's the man - 15:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Harry isn't marked as a companion for Android Invasion, for the same good reason.165.225.76.55talk to me 11:38, November 23, 2018 (UTC)
For parts 3-4 I would personally consider The Brig as a companion. Maybe there should be a consensus reached?Gearedspy ☎ 23:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Marc Warren[[edit source]]
This page says that Marc Warren appears in this story. Anyone know where he can be seen? 68.191.144.112 09:42, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at the PASB, he's not listed amongst the extras and walk ons, unless he went by another name. Wikipedia only have IMDB as a reference, and personally I wouldn't trust it.165.225.76.55talk to me 15:40, November 23, 2018 (UTC)

Those most recent two edits, from 24.141.151.247 (on Oct 16 2011) are mine. Apparently my browser decided not to remember that I'd logged in last night. DigiFluid talk to me 14:35, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
Year[[edit source]]
How do we know the story is set in 1997? --206.177.43.71talk to me 17:55, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Near as I can tell, the 1997 date comes from the novelization and Mr. Aaronovitch, but like anything else involving UNIT and dates it's hotly debated :-). The most detailed discussion I found is at http://wifeinspace.com/2013/03/battlefield/. Morgan-wolf ☎ 18:16, January 20, 2016 (UTC)
Locations are wrongly posted[[edit source]]
Living in this area, whoever had posted the locations on here have created locations which aren't geographically correct, such as Rutland is a separate county not part of Leicestershire and Ketton is part of Rutland, I am therefore going to correct it. AdricLovesNyssa 12:10, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- No, the locations can only be corrected if they differ from the story, not the real world. Please see T:NO RW. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 14:19, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, my mistake, I didn't realise you were talking about filming locations. (I haven't seen this story yet so I didn't want to look at the article.) Shambala108 ☎ 14:21, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah I was talking about the filming locations, I have changed them to what you would find them on a map if you wanted to visit the place, making the page more accurate. AdricLovesNyssa 14:35, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- It's Rutland now, but it was Leicestershire when Battlefield was recorded.165.225.76.55talk to me 15:35, November 23, 2018 (UTC)
Arthurian Legends[[edit source]]
Someone has taken out the previous note I had made on this. Ancelyn is another name for Lancelot. Winifred is another name for Guinevere.165.225.76.55talk to me 10:24, November 26, 2018 (UTC)
- I've just seen that someone took it out because they thought it was speculation. It is not speculation. For example, check this Wikipedia article. [1]
